AM - 9:00:  Resolution bike ride with the Atlanta SBL. It was F37; bascically too cold to ride I did not have the appropriate gears; my saddle was loose so i rode home after 10 miles; run later. I am glad i got out of the house despite the cold; i was prepared to do 30 miles with my citybike.

PM

6 easy mile in Midtown

 

~ mile with the Cabbagetown group; some Tempo elements included; i was warm thorugh 6 miles before; that was good as the temperature dropped to 0C. Good run with David, Rob, Barry, Tray, Katie;  some sections were sub 5:30 pace (Dam Barry). Definitely a threshold run.  You just need to run with faster runners then it is a threshold run for you.  I hope i stick to this routine for a Thursday threshold until i start the Thursday MP runs.

AM: First Saturday run with the Cabbatown running group.  This is a fast group. It was cold; the low temperature influenced the running mechanics at least in my case (did not sleep) alot so maybe that was the isssue or the swimming workout yesterday which was a long swim who took definelty somethin out of me.

10K race with a 9 miles warmup; marathon specific ("let go 3 practice").

Easy warm up 9 miles miles: 6 miles early rising (5:30) ; then 3 miles race warm up (strides, ....); then treshold run for 6 miles as part of the chattahoche road runner race:

Legs heldup; i was able to endure on mile 6 of the 10k race  (which was actually mile 15 over all); big confidence builder for me;  SGM in the fall did not wear me out too much; i was able to dig deep. I have increased endurance and speed for the last year. Happy with the results of the treshold run.  The last part was a very steep downhill part; also during this part i did not loose composure; some runners got injured during the finish downhillpart (hamstring); the 10k is definielty a fast 10K which puts things in perspective;  i was able to run this part full out; next race will be a half marathon in April as a prep for the marathon in May. I am thrilled and humbled at the same time.

Overall the experience was great.

Race report:

Interesting course for sure, it was fun passing nice New England Houses, running through a little fishing town, running next to the Atlantic and passing the Bush compound, also very scenic.

First third downhill 1 percent, second third rolling hills no incline, third third 1percent incline (more than 700 feet elevation gain overall).

Mentally it was ok, did not fade was always there with my head. Kept it together when my left calf started to cramp at mile 20. Lots of Gatorade. It was a very emotional race, I felt some stuff in my legs- hamstring-early on, the the cramping was a bummer, I never had the experience of cramping legs like this. The heat made me work hard. Scary. With the cramps I knew I need to take it easy and be resourceful. So I flushed down Gatorade and made it to the finish. good advice to focus on Gatorade rather than water. Most of the runners had cramps too, it was basically too hot. The race started out hot in the sixties and got hotter 70ies. Physically it was not so bad legs held up despite the cramping which was heat induced so I. In terms of the spiritual aspect, the race was good, I was able to invest myself, although I did not go all out, as I did not want to get injured.

Bottom line weather was way too hot, which was good too as I was able to hang out on the beach after the race.

My splits were 1:42:49 for the first half and 1:55:21 for the second half explained by the cramping and suboptimal race strategy; I needed to slow down; lost about 2-3 min per mile for the last 6 miles of the race. positive splitting for many runners ( heat and hills)

My time was 3:38:10 and I placed 3rd in my age group. I wanted to run 3:30 which was not possible because it was too hot so I think. I ran 10 min faster than in my first m in October 2013. Lessons learned no shortcuts in marathoning. The journey goes on.

10 minutes off your last year time is a great improvement. No doubt it could have been more with cooler conditions...

Thanks for the comments. I am happy for the progress because it tells me that some of the things i am doing are good. I like to rather improve slowly than to rush into things. The plan is to recover, work on form, and train for the next marathon (Chicago).

Peachtree road race:

Great weather;  very very cool for 4th of July;  Race MD told reporters that he had the fewest runners to treat in the medical tent for the last 25 years because the weather was so moderate.  

Warm-up for 2miles; we ran from Allies house to the starting line; that is so much better than suing Marta. For the race, i ran this race between marathon race pace and treshold race pace.  I started in the F-wave;  i used the number i won in the lotery; running from behind takes already away some minutes as you need to pass runners all the time. Meb Keflezighi started as 10 min after the last corral left the start; he was able to pass >20000 runners.

very difficult long run;  the increase of the weekly milleage int he last weeks and the high humidity paid its toll; plus  i was dehydrated (which i realized later);

Kp race:  The race started with the anthem sumg by a blind nineyear old girl. She had an amazing voice. I saw guys with tears in their eyes including me.  It was a commeroative race for the 9/11 events overall.

It is needless to say it was hot and humid at the end of the day plus congested.  The race started above an highway (I-20); i used the race as treshold run somewhat still painfull. There was no timing; just the clock at the finish.

good luck to you this weekend. i hope you have a great race.

james and i have been thinking about signing up for the ATL HM on thanksgiving, so maybe we'll see you there.

From Fritzelac on Fri, Oct 10, 2014 at 07:26:33 from 76.105.103.10

Thanks,

Beside the ATC races there are couple of very good 5k/10k races next to the Chattahochee river coming up in the spring(with less hills than the Thanksgiving HM). I try to make it to the HM. On a different note, some groups do speed work on the Cheney track on Tuesday nights; the Cheney track was build for the Atl Olympics as warm up track for the athletes; there is also a beer mile event on Nov 22 (more fun to watch).

From allie on Fri, Oct 10, 2014 at 08:16:44 from 24.30.41.119

thanks very much! all of this info is really helpful. we are still trying to figure it all out.

AM: Not really a good description for that race as I bonked. I feel embarrassed to have gotten into a marathon without having made several good long runs. I ran a marathon in May and started to late with the training. I know the saying: no excuses we want results. I know I was not ready before starting; but I did not know it turned out to be that way. I should have waited another month and ran the soldier marathon in Georgia. So I had to run through hurting legs. It still feels like a great accomplishment at some level to have endured to the pain of dysfunctional legs. Glycogen depleted legs are not fun to run on. Bottom line is I was not smart to have run this without the good long runs. On the other hand: i can also say it was just not the fast day. Someone makes the decision around mile 15 Am I able to take it up a notch now and race? Or Am I just cruising to the finish line. I did the latter. I signed up for it so I did it. I cannot blame myself failing but I can blame myself for not trying.
