Ran a marathon last weekend and was surprised by quad muscle depletion. I was feeling very good and keeping my heart rate down the first part of the race. Started to pick up the pace around 10…Continue

I thought I would update in case someone was interested. The workouts have been very motivating and challenging at the same time. Its nice that you can read a chapter in the book about the 'why' you are doing a particular run. Some of the speed hill days have taken me back to childhood cross country days. The coaches never…

I am really enjoying the mild seasonal weather. Running in shorts in December in the Midwest is awesome.
Been working on some strength exercises on hard running days. My muscles started to relax this week. I took two extra days off from week one. Over did some basketball coaching and was wiped out. Much better week. Quads are sore on todays recovery run from hill runs yesterday. Checked my mileage and I am up to 22 so far this week. Will see what the end of Phase I week 2…

my ultra's pace was 12.5min miles!! it wasn't anything to brag about. but with 13,000 feet total climb and 80 degree heat, it was in the top 25% of performers. and i finished uninjured and able to run the next day- that's what i really wanted. i have another 50k trail race in june.
