⭐️ A MESSAGE ⭐️
It’s kinda hard to put into words what it feels like to finally have this album out.
We’ve spent the last five years writing, scrapping, salvaging, digging deeper. Drifting apart, reconnecting. Trying to figure out what the next Hundredth album could be. What it should be.
Some songs we chased for years. Others showed up in a voice memo and stuck. We kept sifting through all of it, trying to find a throughline. There were moments when nothing felt right, and others when everything clicked.
We wrestled with it. Let it sit. Walked away. Came back. Got lost in it. Started over more than once. Until we finally found it.
This album wouldn’t exist without the quiet belief (and the DMs) that there were still people out there who wanted a new record.
So thank you for sticking with us, whether you’ve been around since the days I was slamming microphones into my head or found us somewhere along the way.
Faded Splendor is our most potent and honest record. It feels like the most “us” we’ve ever been.
We hope it finds a place in your world the way it’s lived in ours.

1. timing over distance.
commit to time on feet instead of chasing arbitrary mileage. running a mile a day and being done does not really help.
do run/walk intervals for a set amount of time like 2 minute run / 2 minute walk for 30-45 minutes.
2. keep almost all of your runs at the beginning easy.
if you can’t speak while running it’s too fast. you’re just gonna burn your legs and knees trying to go “fast” and you’re not building an aerobic base. after you are consistently hitting mileage, then 80% easy / 20% speed.
3. increase volume by 10% weekly.
whatever your first week ends up being, increase it by 10% for the next week. the focus is still on time but figure out how much longer you need to progress your volume.
4. stop and look around.
it’s not a rush. it’s not a race. if you don’t stop to look around you’re taking it too seriously.
