I am back on a structured training program as I prepare for the Superior Trails 50 miler in September. I had just talked to someone related to the event yesterday and she said to train hills and root awareness. Her comments made me a bit anxious but it also is a nice seed to inspire [...]

This week consisted of another increase in volume with minimal speed work. I did add some strides during my run on Sunday which felt good again. My weekly treadmill runs were setup for random mode, so that added a bit of variety.

It has already been three weeks since the Boston marathon! Wow, the time is flying.
Last week consisted of another very basic week of low mileage/intensity movement. I don’t think I have ever forced myself to go this easy after completing a training cycle. The body tweaks have probably helped with this process but I am [...]

After the legs died last weekend during my long run, I wanted to take this week pretty easy and actually took it even easier than I would have liked. My body still feels a bit out of sorts and then the whole family caught a cold starting on Friday. This is not even remotely [...]

The final two key workouts from last week occurred over the weekend and included a 5 mile race and 20 mile long run with some tempo work on the back half.
The 5 mile race went pretty well. I ran it will my son, Griffin, in the jogger and was able to knock out some 6:40-6:55 [...]

Since this week was a pretty serious recovery week, the training was rather “vanilla”. After three solid weeks of training and racing that is exactly what I needed.
Mentally - I am feeling pretty fresh and ready to start gradually turning the screws a bit.
Physically - The body feels mostly recovered from the previous races but [...]
