About a month or 2 ago I ran across a question on Facebook asking what is the best Training Log. I’ve since been asked this question several more times recently. Real good question, but this is also like asking what is the best car for you to drive. The answer is….Well, it depends. And it doesn’t [...]

Somewhere between the first and second month of using Sport Tracks I discovered the “Training Load plugin”. The immediate response was, “Oh my god, you can track all of that?” At first glance, the graph is just a big mess with all kinds of bars, lines, shaded areas, and acronyms that don’t mean much. Once you [...] Some days you’re the ‘Nail’ and some days you’re the hammer. Yesterday, it was my turn to be the ‘Nail’. I’ve often heard of people getting bitten by a dog, and often thought how I would react to keep the dog at bay. In my minds eye, I would do some lightning quick Jackie Chan Shaolin [...] On Oct 25th I completed the Marine Corps Marathon in Washington, DC. As it has been about 8 years since my last marathon, I was just looking to have a good time. Washington, DC in October is amazing.

There’s really no correct way to set up a training log, as it really just depends on how much information you want to track. Some people are [...] At some point in every runners life you will experience what can only be described as a Bonk! This is simply “a condition in endurance sports where depletion of glycogen stores in the liver and muscles results in sudden and severe fatigue.” So this begs the question; “How to avoid bonking” or “What should I eat [...] If you’re like most people, you find it hard to find time to train during the week, with the demands from work, life, family, etc. Once you have committed to running a marathon, you need to tell people about it. This puts you on the hook to make sure you have some accountability and support from [...] My wife and I decided to sign up for the Marine Corps Marathon on October 25th. I have done a couple of these in the past, but it has been 7 years or so since my last marathon. It feels really good to be getting in shape again. My long run was 10 miles yesterday, so [...] |
