Update
So it has been a long, long while since I have done an update. Recently a couple of people have asked about it, and I just came off the biggest training week of my life, so I figured what the hell. As some of you may know, I am training for the Philly marathon. My…

Hello Internet
Hello Internet, its been a while. A combination of work, wedding planning, moving to New York, running a ton and spending way too much time on the running ahead message board has lead to me neglecting the blog. I know you missed me. What is there to report ? Well, I have been running more…

Training Totals 7.4.2010
RECAP: Wow, what a week. The first part of it was a whirlwind of work and other commitments as I tried to get everything set before I went to Cape Cod for the Fourth of July. The second half was all running, drinking beer and laying on the beach. I haven’t had a vacation in…

RECAP: Another week of running disappointment. Again, I started off strong and ended weak. I am getting in really good runs during the week when all I have to do is work and run, but the weekends, which have been a series of massive social commitments have foiled my plans to return to a decent…

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.

On the plus side, I have really been extending my weekday runs, which is going well. Many days this week I got in more than six miles, and on Wednesday I really started…

Training Totals 6.13.2010
RECAP: Well, it was bound to happen eventually, a week of fail. It started off with me having a tough time fitting decent runs into my schedule and it ended with me laying on my couch sick as a dog and for the first time in over 100 days, unable to run. I had run…

Training Totals 6.6.2010
RECAP: Not the world’s best week, people. I came off last week’s marathon excited about how much my running has progressed in the last six months and basically ran right into an injury. Since the marathon, I’ve been having some pain in my left ankle whenever I run, sometimes its pretty bad, sometimes it is…

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…

The Battle Plan
After consulting the sages at running ahead* I am starting to piece together my plan for running for the rest of the year. In a sentence, what I plan to do is slow down my runs slightly, increase my weekly mileage significantly, and race more. I hope that by doing these three things I can…
