Friday Inspiration – Back to the Climbing Gym

I can’t wait. Here’s a video of a bunch of great climbers working inside, including two New Yorkers – Ashima Shirashi…

Friday Inspiration – Meb on a tempo run
I’m a huge fan of Meb Keflefzighi. He’s old for an elite runner, but he’s still getting it done. This year he finished fourth in the Olympic marathon beating out many a young whippersnapper and making me proud to be an old dude. As I am out there doing my paltry little run this…

Friday Inspiration
This weekend the marquee ultra running event Western States is happening in California. One hundred miles through the Sierra Nevadas. Gorgeous. Hard. Legendary. Someday, I’d love to run this thing, but for now, I’ll just have to settle for watching youtube videos.

Friday Education?
I think I should probably call this weeks video Friday Education instead of Friday inspiration. As I get more serious about running, I am learning more and more about the sport. Learning about effective training means learning about Arthut Lydiard, the running coach who revolutionized distance runner. Check out this video where the Lydiard method…

Friday Inspiration
I have nothing much planned running wise this weekend. My long run will probably be somewhere between six and eight miles. I plan to sleep a lot and hang out with E. It’ll be nice to not have to dedicate half of saturday to a run… but I am also missing the miles. Does that…
