Prep for Winter Training

Kara — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 02:59:41 GMT

TRAINING FOR WINTER:

We are looking at having an informal gathering in December to welcome new members, answer questions, and go over some general principles of training. We will post a date and time soon. If interested, please send to me:

1. Do a 1.5 mile time trial on a track (lane 1) or a treadmill once you are recovered from your Fall races. Record your time and max heart rate during that effort. Warm up about 10 min. easy before the time trial. Walkers- do the same, but for 1 mile. We will estimate your aerobic ability and training paces from this data.

2. Send your 1.5 mile time, max heart rate, age, current weight (not what you want to weigh), PR's at 5K, 1/2, and 26.2, and your goal races/dates/paces.

*If I have tested you in the lab, your values there are more accurate, but go ahead and do the time trial.

Cleveland Marathon Pace Teams

Kara — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 02:51:03 GMT

We are starting to put together a list of potential pacers for Cleveland for May 16th, 2010. Many spots will be filled with the veteran pacers, but please let me know if you are interested in being considered. Times are: 3:00, 3:10, 3:20, 3:30, 3:40, 3:50, 4:00, 4:15, 4:30, 4:45, 5:00, 5:30. We place pacers at a time that is about 30 min. slower than their 26.2 and/or 15 min. slower than their 13.1 recent race time. Please include a few times you are interested in pacing and whether you are interested in a full or relay pace team and whether you would want the 1st or 2nd half. We will contact you and have a more solid list in early 2010.

Thank you!

November Locations

Second Sole Rocky River
Training Group ~ November Locations

*If you completed a Fall marathon- we recommend that you take the next 4-6 weeks as EASY base running to recover properly and cycle back to aerobic foundation building. Be sure to include some rest days, cross training, yoga, massage, etc. If you plan to compete in a Spring marathon, maintain your weekly mileage around 20-35 miles with a long run of about 10 miles (weekly or every other week). This phase is vital to prevent injury and also refresh yourself mentally. It is also crucial if you want to go for a peak performance next season.

All Tuesdays: 6:30 PM Rocky River High School track

All Thursdays: 6:30 PM Second Sole Rocky River. (NO run from the store on Thanksgiving).

Saturdays: 8 AM (except for ZOO @ 9:30 AM) (8 AM start to let you sleep in a bit during dark months and recovery)

7th: South Mastick/Cottonwood
14th: South Mastick/Cottonwood
21st: Bedford Trails for asphalt or trail run OR South Mastick/Cottonwood
28th: ZOO maingate at 9:30 AM (must have Zoo pass or pay to enter) OR South Mastick/Cottonwood @ 8 AM. The Zoo is a great place in winter months to run or walk for hills and safe footing, bathrooms, etc.

"CRAMPED"

ElectricMike — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 23:41:55 GMT

If one word can describe this weekend is "CRAMPED".

Driving from Cleveland to D.C. in the Edge "CRAMPED".
Traffic in around the Washington area "CRAMPED".
In and out of the hotel shuttle "CRAMPED".
Walking around the MCM expo "CRAMPED".
Riding the Metro to the start "CRAMPED".
Starting corral before the race "CRAMPED".
First ten miles of marathon feel like today is the day.
Mile 11-12 intestinal "CRAMP".
Stopped to "CRAP"
No more "CRAMP".
Mile 14-16 left hamstring "CRAMP".
Mile 18-20 right quad "CRAMP".
The next four miles were a "CRAMP", walk, jog, "CRAMP", walk, jog you know the drill.
Final two point two miles I knew no matter what I was going to "CRAMP" my way to the finish without any more walking. The incline to Iwo Jima was a thrill. Thanks to the throngs of people who made it easier. What great crowd support.
So what started out as what I thought was going to be a good day turned out very "CRAMPY" for me. But I survived to run another day.

I must apologize to my wife for running away at mile seven but I thought I could have been a contender not a pretender.
I am very happy that she finally got the four hour monkey off her back even though she is not happy.
