My friend, Shelly, finished her first half marathon on August 23, 2008. She had a great run and was all smiles at the end. Several other folks from the team I helped coach became half marathoners for the first time. I tried to include everyone from the team in the video. Check it out! Congratulations runners!
The 2nd Patrick Henry Half Marathon is only a few days away. In this episode, I talk a little about last year’s star performers and what my expectations are for this year. I also mention a few other things such as Body Glide and the high price of brand name running apparel.
Sometimes two training programs have to overlap in order to achieve a specific running goal. In this podcast, I talk about how I had to join a marathon training program already in progress in order to meet my marathon goal in November. I also ramble about a few other things…
The half marathon training team I’m helping coach has 26 miles scheduled over the course of the week. This is the most weekly mileage we’ll run under the half marathon training program.
I’ve been breaking the weekly mileage into three runs: two during the weekdays and the “long” run on the weekend with the team. In this episode, I talk about my efforts in getting through a 7 miler in the middle of the week. I also talk about how I dealt with encountering some unexpected road kill and running in the deep South.
The music group, The Police, released a song called “King of Pain” on their 1983 album, Synchronicity. While I don’t think the song was about running, I sure felt like the king of pain during my latest training run. In this podcast, I talk about running with pain versus injury and how I deal with it.
Several folks on the half marathon team I’m helping coach ran their first “double digits” run on July 26, 2008. I took my flip video camera along for the run and put this video together.
Oscar Pistorius came close to qualifying for the South African 2008 Olympic Team only he wasn’t fast enough. His fastest 400 meters time is 46.56 seconds. The world record is held by Michael Johnson (43.18 seconds). In this podcast, I mention a few things I learned about Oscar Pistorius and how those things inspire me to keep running.
This is a photo of my friends, Jeff and Ian, who are dressed as Mexican wrestlers. Both finished the Muddy Buddy run-ride-race with a pretty good finishing time. In this podcast, I talk about my own experience in the Muddy Buddy as well as some fall/winter races I plan to run.
Strange title, I know, but what do you do to get through those tough solo training runs? Unless you run on a treadmill surrounded by four plain white walls, chances are you ‘do’ something while you run. In this podcast, I talk about what I ‘do’ while covering the distance. Perhaps you can relate.
