Wow! Steamtown training time about to start. Like the long run times. Will try 13 at 6:29/mile on 6/23.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to the Niagara Ultramarathoners. You guys are amazing.
Thanks, Keith!
ReplyDeleteBTW... Wednesday 6/20 track is changed to Madison HS due to the youth track practices held at Fairfax HS.
ReplyDeleteWho's coming to track tonight? James Madison HS- Vienna
ReplyDeleteGood luck to everyone headed up to Niagara this weekend, you guys rock!!!
ReplyDeleteSaturday's run on the W&OD has officially been delayed until 7:00 AM (since it's not that long and I'm tired)
ReplyDeleteHey everyone! Just got back from Niagara last night. I will try to get pictures of the race posted up on the Facebook page in the next day or two. Thanks so much for all of the well wishes! The race was SO much fun!
ReplyDeleteMadison tonight for track??? (to avoid the group at FFX that won't move)
ReplyDeleteHelllllooooo team. Long time no talk. Congrats to you freaks who ran the Niagra ultra. I'm quite jealous. Hope everyone's running and training is going well. Mai-An and Grayson say "hello".
ReplyDeleteI wanted to ask a quick question to see if any of you have experienced this. Recently, I started to get tingling arms when I run. This was not an issue before except for long runs, where keeping my arm in a bent position for too long caused it to fall asleep due to poor circulation. I'm now starting to see this issue even just 2-3 miles into a run. Anyone know what it might be?
I don't know. Are you keeping your upper body really tense when you're running? No history of neck injury or thoracic outlet syndrome?
DeleteNo to all of the questions Keith. Upper body technique hasn't changed since I last saw you guys.
DeleteI've had my arms and hands go numb early on in a race usually when it's really hot or the course is very challenging (huge hills). It always goes away after a little while.
ReplyDeleteI've never had it happen in a training run though.
By the way if you are running why not run with us? You could have joined us when we passed your house on long runs during our Niagara training.
I second Kelly's comment... do you not love us anymore? You only want our free PT advice... not our company. So sad.
ReplyDelete:-(
HAHAH... fried... :)
ReplyDeleteReady for a big 15 tomorrow. Everybody still going at 6:30? Will be 78 degrees and 70% humidity. Great for marathon + 45 seconds pace.
ReplyDeleteActually, think I will run at WOD Vienna tomorrow. Battlefield will be rough for the pace I want to keep.
ReplyDeleteHey everybody! Due to the crazy rain, tomorrow's run will be moved to the W&OD trail at 7am. Hope to see you there! We'll try to plan another Battlefield run soon!
ReplyDelete:-)
Very warm run on the WOD this AM. Able to get the 15 miles in 1:42 despite feeling like I was running in soaked swim trunks for the last 4 miles. Sorry I missed Mark and Holly. Really looking forward to all the fast times and PRs at Steamtown.
