World Marathon Majors: 2010 New York City Marathon

The New York City Marathon is always the last race of the year for the World Marathon Majors. For 2009-2010, the results of this race won’t make any difference in the long run as both Sammy Wanjiru and Lillya Shobukhova have the title locked up. (Well, technically Sammy could lose, but it isn’t likely to [...]

2010 Mount Desert Island Marathon

I had the pleasure of volunteering at the 2010 Mount Desert Island Marathon and had my camera out to capture some video at the starting line and at the half-marathon point. I also got a few interviews at the finish line once everybody had passed through the half marathon. The race couldn’t have been run [...]

How To Improve the Boston Marathon Registration Process

The 2011 Boston Marathon sold out in around 9 hours yesterday. While it’s great that the sport is going so strongly, races selling out 6 months before they are even run leads to a really poor customer experience for the runners.

The Americans should be able to put in a strong [...]

Back to Back (Part 3): The Maine Marathon

This past weekend I ran my first back-to-back marathons with the New Hampshire Marathon on Saturday and the Maine Marathon on Sunday. I came into this race feeling really good despite having run a marathon the day before other than a small muscle pull that I got relatively early into the previous race. The goal [...]

Back to Back (Part 2): Bridging the Gap Between Marathons

This past weekend I ran my first back-to-back marathons with the New Hampshire Marathon on Saturday and the Maine Marathon on Sunday. Obviously, the big concern is what do I do in between the races to keep from being completely stiff and sore on Sunday for the second race, right? Whatever I did must have [...]

Back to Back (Part 1): The New Hampshire Marathon

This past weekend I ran my first back-to-back marathons with the New Hampshire Marathon on Saturday and the Maine Marathon on Sunday. I enjoyed the New Hampshire race, despite a few pretty serious drawbacks and running the first half mile behind some guys trying to run 2:20 pace. The race was pretty well organized, it’s [...]
