Tonight I ran in zone 2 with zone 2 for me being between 138 and 146bpm. My average HR for the run being 139 and I covered just on 7.5km in 50 min. The run was relaxed with me feeling comfortable for…Continue

The 37th Great Train Race

Today I ran "The 37th Great Train Race", against the steam train Puffing Billy in showery but mild conditions. The family dropped me off at Belgrave about 30 min before the start to a carnival atmosphere, the MC was doing his best to get the crowd up, music was blaring and the mood was great.I wandered up to the bag drop off area…See More

I Can't vs. I Don't Want To

"Great Post Eric I also believe we talk ourselves into "I can't" because as you say its the easy way out. As we go to bed we say to ourselves tomorrow I'm getting up at 6.00 to go for a run, the alarm goes off, we…"

2015 Melbourne Marathon Race Report

Posted on October 23, 2015 at 10:46pm 5 Comments 1 Like

A cool and cloudy morning greeted us on Sunday the 18th of October, just perfect for running and though my preparation had been interrupted due to work travel and a virus, I felt excited for what lay ahead.

I woke at 4.00am dressing and eating a breakfast of muffin with honey, a banana and black tea. Up alone with my…

I found this online and thought many of you may be interested in this as was I, again it seems to me that this is another example of basic, good nutrition being the key to our fueling needs.

Zone 2 Run In Heart Rates 5-6

Posted on January 4, 2015 at 8:30pm 5 Comments 0 Likes

Yesterday evening as the sun was low I ran on Cable Beach just a stones throw away from where we are staying here in the tropics of Broome N.Western Australia. I ran for 45min covering 7.2km with an average H.R. of 157bpm.

When I headed out in the airconditioning of our room my HR was between 68-71 but as soon as I stepped out up to 127 it jumped within in minutes as I walked through the grounds of the resort to start my run at the roadway adjacent to reception. At the time of my run,… Continue

Right off the bat I have to say that I disagree with Eric and Rich's assessment of this book. They wrote here that they both found it "hard to get into and as a result did not like it very much". I on the other hand found it to be engrossing, engaging and a very enjoyable to read.…

At 4:55am on October 14, 2016, Rich Warne said…: Have 3 different pairs of Inov8 - love all 3. Have a gym / road pair, a summer trail and a winter trail pair. Also have clothing and run vest all great stuff.

At 6:22am on June 1, 2016, Jay Mijares said…: Hi Robert! Thanks for reaching out! I've been running. Did a marathon last month and have a trail race this weekend which will be a training run for the Double Dipsea in just over two weeks. I haven't been doing many race reports here on TCI much, though I guess I should eventually. Got any major events coming up? Or do things slow down a bit due to winter?

Cheers!

Jay

At 10:24am on May 1, 2015, Mara Summers said…: Thank you Robert! I just signed up for membership yesterday, and I can't believe I've already received two comments. :) The thing is...I don't have anyone here to talk running with. I'm the kind of person who gets very passionate about my interests and for 2 months I've been living, breathing, thinking running. LOVE Eric's The Cool Impossible!

In my younger decades I did run to stay fit, but then my personal health would not support it until I had surgery. That is what freed me to begin running again - three decades later.

My biggest fear is I will have a injury and that will keep me from running. My other problem is trying to keep my enthusiasm down so I have rest days.
Thanks again Robert! Your words are inspiration. :)

At 11:28am on November 19, 2014, Rich Warne said…: Hi Robert -can't really comment on suitability of Eric's marathon programme for a half as I haven'r seen the programme - sorry. As for Garmin we have 2 in the family a 205 and 310XT - both great, we always buy "old models" on Amazon as they are so much cheaper than the current range

At 6:48am on November 18, 2014, Rich Warne said…: Hi Robert - excellent news! Usual advice (same as any race) don't go out too hard at start, try for the holy grail of negative splits -easier said than done. On your long training runs try to do some race day simulation / pacing. Not sure this last one is wise or not, but I tend to avoid drink stations on a half marathon mainly because I'm around the 90 min mark I can hydrate enough before hand, and avoiding water stations means avoiding congestion and trip hazards at water stations on the bigger halfs
