Short-Term Running Goals:

If things go as planned...  I will be running Boston in 2015 and I want to break 3 hours.

Long-Term Running Goals:

I want to run till I die and qualify for the Boston Marathon, both events may occur simultaneously...  They didn't :)  I hit my BQ time in St. George 2012!

Personal:

In 1 1/2 year I went from 225 lbs. to now around 165-160 lbs.  In 2010, my first year running, I ran two half marathons, two 5ks and one 10k.  My wife and I started with the Salt Lake City Half Marathon and ran it together.  It was a great way to spend time together and kick off our new found pass time.  I'm now addicted to running and I plan on running for the rest of my life.

I went bird hunting today and hiked 9 miles over 4 hours and climbed 3500 vertical feet.  My poor dog!  My legs are sore and it's a great way to build strength in my legs but now I need to start logging miles on the road...  From here out I'm in for some long runs.

Finally back in town after being on travel. We need to get together soon for a run and some food/beer!

We are likely running on Saturday morning aroung 7am at the bank on the corner of Sunnyside and Park (same as last time). Come join us.

Thanks... It was a good class. I need to do yoga about 3-4 days a week so I can get more flexible.

If I were your Doc. I would have you on anti-inflammatory medication, lots of icing, and no running for 3-4 weeks. You can still do Ogden.

I ran from the AmeriTel on Lindsay to the Sleep Inn Hotel at the Sunnyside Rd. overpass.  Good day to run outside.  Tomorrow we have 14 miles to run and I sure hope I'm not running all that on a TM...  That will suck!!!

Alisa and I were able to run in the morning and the weather was nice.  I thought we would wake to snow but the storm didn't come till the evening.  8:50 pace but even at that pace I fell the burn in my quads.  On my long runs my focus is endurance and not speed.  It's hard to not focus on time.

I ran at the Apple on the TM and saw a lot of familiar faces...  It's nice how seeing others do the same thing gives you energy and motivation to keep running.  I can't wait till the weather is nicer and we can all go run outside.

Gary, I reagrivated my IT Band Saturday so I'm out this weekend. It's frustrating to know what kind of mileage I need to be doing and not being able to run at all. Gonna take a little more time off and see if I can't get this thing healed up. Good luck with your training though and I'll let you know how it comes along.

Ran at the Apple on the TM for lunch today...  I feel like I can run 8 min miles all day long.  I guess that will be my marathon pace. : / ?  Any advice?

 

 

Comments
From Karen on Sun, Mar 06, 2011 at 20:10:53 from 69.171.160.173

Nice! 8 min pace is solid. SO, some folks describe their "run all day" pace as their tempo pace (closer to 10k or half mara) whereas others describe it as their marathon pace. It really comes down to breathing. If you were breathing pretty heavy, it is closer to your tempo, but if nice and comfy, it oculd,in fact be your MP. I test my runners by having them do a 5k (2 mile test for my walkers) and adjust thier goals and training plans by using that time as a baseline...Good Luck!

From Gary Horton on Mon, Mar 07, 2011 at 11:23:41 from 69.20.170.195

Thanks for the advice Karen. I can carry on a full conversation at that pace so I assume it's my MP. The only time my breathing gets heavy is when I'm running a 5 or 10k. How would i go about doing your 5k test?

From Karen on Mon, Mar 07, 2011 at 12:57:09 from 173.14.8.17

That is awesome then!!! I actually ahve my guys do a 5k, then I have some calculations that I use to figure out their training paces and a marathon pace equivalent. SO, they do the 5k and race it! SO, when was your last 5k or 10k? and what were the times? We might have enough info depending on how recent they were...

From Gary Horton on Mon, Mar 07, 2011 at 13:02:51 from 69.20.170.195

Thanks again Karen. Last summer I ran a 5K in 21:32 and then a 10K, coming off an injury, in 45:15. I would consider my self a much stronger runner now and I hope to run a 5K in under 20 minutes this summer. Any advice is much welcomed.

From Karen on Tue, Mar 08, 2011 at 01:59:26 from 69.171.160.170

Cool! SO, using an equivalency chart, your 5k @ 21:32 (6:56 Average pace) is equivalent to a 44:44 10k(7:11 AP), 1:39 half mara (7:36 AP) and 3:29 marathon (8:01 AP) and 6:13 mile (as if you ran one full out). SO, I take those to become your training paces adn build a program from there. Comparing these equivalents to your posted times, your 5k appears to be the strongest event (though I bet you were preparing for a 5k at that time, versus longer distances?) Build your plan around what you have already accomplished to stave off injury. The times will begin to fall naturally through your training and you can reconfigure your paces from there.

In a training phase, I have my folks race on occasion to see where we are at. If their speed is outdoing their endurance, we shift gears and visa versa. Looks like 19's are well within reach!

Hope that helped?

From Gary Horton on Tue, Mar 08, 2011 at 10:49:08 from 69.20.170.195

It was a nice day but I still ran on the TM.  I forgot to bring a jacket to work so I was stuck inside wishing I was out.  My legs felt great even after 41 miles last week.  It's so cool to see how my endurance is building up.  The first time I ran 13 miles I couldn't walk normal for almost a week and now we're running much more than that every weekend and still running two day's later.

Sorry, had to do that...

Looks like you're a pretty new runner like me (I've been running a little less than a year). You had great improvement from your first to second 1/2 marathon! I'm running my first Full on May 1st...hoping to qualify for Boston on my first attempt. I'm a little nervous too. Good luck on the 1:35 PR...!

Thanks for the encouragement. Are you running it? I really hope to break 1:35:00...

I was thinking about it at one time but I have a conflict on Friday for an activity for my son that I have to be at so I can't make it down.

Go get that 1:35:00!

Great job, nice time. You are looking strong for Ogden!

It was good seeing you out running last weekend and at Teton Running. Wanna join us for a run tomorrow...starting around 6-6:30am at the bank on the corner. I am then running with my kids in the Sunnyside 5K at 9am.

Congrats on your 1/2 time. That's a great time. We do need to get out. I was thinking I wanted to try to do Ogden but then every bit of common sense I have kicked in and told me if I try to run a marathon with four weeks of training "I'm an idiot!" I'm starting to learn the hard way not to underestimate that long mileage. Good luck with the rest of your training.

My first run after a weeklong rest following Ogden. The Ogden Marathon was great but it just makes me want to train harder and hit my BQ time in St. George. My right IT band started acting up towards the end of my run today and it makes me nervous.

After a week in Alaska where it rained every day I'm back home and hope that a week of not running won't kill me on Saturday in St. George...  We'll see...

It was 65 degrees at the start line and hotter along the way.  My training suffered due to other obligations so I'm happy with my time.  I need to push myself harder next year and get my time to BQ.  3:10:00...  Next year.

Nice job Gary, it sounds like it was a warm run there. But you did great and any time we can get under a 3:30 marathon is awesome!!!!! Again nice run buddy and see ya around SRL or Greenbelt some time.

A hard day out there to start with, compounded with training and life balance issues...well that is just life!

Great job finish a tough race. There will be others, so keep your head up and running strong.

See you on the roads in IF!
