By on Friday, January 16th, 2009 | 2 Comments

Rain thwarted Haile Gebrselassie in his attempt to break his own world record in the marathon this morning in Dubai. He set the world record at 2:03:59 last year in Berlin, but went out a bit too fast in the first 10k in his attempt to break the record at Dubai in 2008. This year, [...]

2008 Final Numbers

By on Monday, January 12th, 2009 | 5 Comments

2008 has come and gone, and 2009 has started. I was on vacation at the New Year this year, so my look back over the past year was delayed by a week or so. In 2008 I ran 390 times for 2612.9 miles in about 14 days, 22 hours and 7 minutes of running. That’s [...]

By on Sunday, January 11th, 2009 | 3 Comments

I am now a week out from the Running From An Angel 50 Miler, and while I don’t suffer from any illusions that I am completely recovered I do feel pretty good. I have gone for a couple of walks and runs with only mild soreness, spent a few hours snowshoeing, and an hour and [...]

Preparing For A Race While On Vacation

By on Thursday, January 8th, 2009 | 2 Comments

Now that I’ve covered my training schedule for my first 50 miler, here’s what I did in the week or so leading up to the race. I tapered very aggressively. I basically just did not worry about how much I was going to run from Christmas through the New Year (the race was on January [...]

Running From An Angel 50 Miler (2009) » Training Schedule

By on Wednesday, January 7th, 2009 | 5 Comments

This Autumn I concentrated on running a fast 5k, a goal that I was only moderately successful at (given the times that I wanted to run versus the times that I did run.) At the beginning of October, I switched my training over to get ready for my first 50 mile race which was at [...]

The 50 Mile Diet – Don’t Knock It ‘Til You Try It

By on Sunday, January 4th, 2009 | 5 Comments

Yesterday, I ran 50 miles. At once. Yeah, strange thing to do, but it seemed like a good way to finish off a vacation. At a very rough estimate, I probably burned around 5500 calories or so in the 8 hours that that took. Here is everything that I consumed before and during the race: [...]
