An offhanded description of what I did and what I thought of during the run…
7mi. No time or desire to do a cooldown, my ankle was feeling the effects of Saturday's 10 miler and now this. Knowing PB marathon is days away, I ran shirtless in 66 deg weather. By prediction, this is 2 degrees cooler than Sunday's race start. I was alone for all 6 hill miles, … Continue reading Pre race
8mi. Back in time to see the sunrise, I took a long time running the bridge today. A bathroom break, water stops, this was a slow bunch of hill laps. I ran alone for the first two, with Kyle Smith for the next two, then weaving around those that showed up at 5:30am for my … Continue reading Nicer weather, lighter mornings are here.
Pine Mountain Ga. Oct 15th The flight up was uneventful. I felt my strategy of taking “less than a newbie” was a good one, so all I brought fit into a carry on. Same for Suzanne, although only staying for two nights, she put enough thought into what she really needed and packed accordingly. Rental … Continue reading North Face Endurance Challenge 50 mile race.
10.25mi. Google must know better than Stairmaster how many miles are covered by going up stairs. I have a big race in 3 weeks. I need to condition my legs for up and down travel. I went to the gym, hopped on the Stairmaster and set it to the max 99 minutes of exercise. On … Continue reading Google must know?
7.1mi. A trail run following the Stairmaster training went well. My legs were ok to run with, my challenge was low light in the trails that were covered by trees. Suzanne followed on the mountain bike again, I circled the park perimeter and also did the hill. Several years ago the trail on the hill … Continue reading Even in the dark
7.5mi I cut the cooldown to one parking lot lap, I felt as if my bridge laps were slow so I needed to get back for John. I brought my new 110% calf sleeves with the ice inserts. Paul asked why I was wearing stockings, he'd never do it but his daughter and Greg Bennet … Continue reading Good hills w/Walter and a breeze.
approx 7-8 mi. I drove to Dyer park and Suzanne rode the mountain bike around the outskirts of the park as I looked to test out the Nathan Endurance hydro pack and Saucony Pro Grid Peregine run shoes. Good results on both products. We parked at the mini remote control airstrip, ran the western edge … Continue reading Sunday trail run
2000 yards. And I have to move quickly to get it all in before I have to pack up and get back from lunch to a tour guest at the office! Warmup Set (200y) 8 x 25 build @ 0:40 Main Set (1400y) 11 x 125 [100 swim/25 kick] @ 2:50 25 drill Warmdown Set … Continue reading Cause it’s only once a week now?
4 mi. I couldn't stay for the cooldown, John's back in class. I knew I wanted to run "in the middle" and Paul gave us a mile for time in a surprise move to most. My mile was 6:01, ran on Erica's shoulder all the way around. I felt very good laps 3 & 4 … Continue reading Middle speed
