Member Since:

Male

Goal Type:

Olympic Trials Qualifier

Running Accomplishments:

Best marathon: 2:23:57 (2007, St. George). Won the Top of Utah Marathon twice (2003,2004). Won the USATF LDR circuit in Utah in 2006.

Draper Days 5 K 15:37 (2004)

Did not know this until June 2012, but it turned out that I've been running with spina bifida occulta in L-4 vertebra my entire life, which explains the odd looking form, struggles with the top end speed, and the poor running economy (cannot break 16:00 in 5 K without pushing the VO2 max past 75).  

 

Short-Term Running Goals:

Qualify for the US Olympic Trials. With the standard of 2:19 on courses with the elevation drop not exceeding 450 feet this is impossible unless I find an uncanny way to compensate for the L-4 defect with my muscles. But I believe in miracles.

Long-Term Running Goals:

2:08 in the marathon. Become a world-class marathoner. This is impossible unless I find a way to fill the hole in L-4 and make it act healthy either by growing the bone or by inserting something artificial that is as good as the bone without breaking anything important around it. Science does not know how to do that yet, so it will take a miracle. But I believe in miracles.

Personal:

I was born in 1973. Grew up in Moscow, Russia. Started running in 1984 and so far have never missed more than 3 consecutive days. Joined the LDS Church in 1992, and came to Provo, Utah in 1993 to attend BYU. Served an LDS mission from 1994-96 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Got married soon after I got back. My wife Sarah and I are parents of eleven children: Benjamin, Jenny, Julia, Joseph, Jacob, William, Stephen, Matthew,  Mary,  Bella.  and Leigha. We home school our children.

I am a software engineer/computer programmer/hacker whatever you want to call it, and I am currently working for RedX. Aside from the Fast Running Blog, I have another project to create a device that is a good friend for a fast runner. I called it Fast Running Friend.

Favorite Quote:

12 total. Was going to do a 5 mile tempo down the canyon, but had a stomach problem. Joseph and Jacob also were having issues with their legs. Chad also did not have anything today. Jacob did 5 miles in 30:01. Joseph and I ran the first two miles together 6:08, 6:19. Then we decided to go to 3. Joseph found 5:33 in him for the last mile, I had to dig deep to find 5:55. Chad started with us, then switched to an easy pace after a mile or so.

Benjamin did 2x3 miles on his mile course, 15:33, 16:05 - on the last one got a spasm + humidity.

Ran in Pfugerville, TX with Benjamin and Noah. 12 total for me and Benjamin, 8 for Noah. Benjamin did a pickup for about 0.5. Hot and humid, but not as bad as Houston.

Easy runs, usual distances for the kids. Mary and Bella had coughs, ran reduced distances.

16 total. Did a tempo run with Chad - 5 miles down the canyon in 29:43 (5:54, 5:55, 5:55, 6:02, 5:57). In the last 2 miles Chad started running out of juice. I had a bit left, but not much. We stayed together.

Benjamin chased us from 3:00 behind, and passed us shortly after the 3 mile mark. He had a good run, probably the best in a while, though he still did get a spasm - 25:27 (4:57, 4:59, 4:59, 5:18, 5:14).

The younger kids raced 1500 at the Race Cats meet in Herriman. Results:

Jacob 4:36.54
Joseph 4:41.78 PR
William 5:27.49
Stephen 5:47.10

Total of 12 for me. Did a mile pickup in 5:46. Jacob did it in 5:09. Benjamin did 0.5 pickup in 2:27 with the total of 12. Usual distances, easy pace, for others except Mary (1 mile), and William and Joseph (I think 4 and 6).

12 total. Did a 3 mile tempo run down the canyon in 17:59. It felt harder than normal due to the headwind, I think. Jacob also struggled. He ran the first 1.5 in 8:03, and then he fell apart completely and basically jogged to the finish in 17:14. Benjamin was pacing him.

Easy runs for other kids.

16 total. Did a 6 mile tempo down the canyon in 35:52, most of it was with Chad and Jacob. Joseph started with us, but made it to only 3 miles. My splits were 6:13, 6:01, 5:58, 5:56, 5:55, 5:50.

Jacob ran with us to 5 miles, and then closed with 5:20 and ended up with 35:22. Chad fell back in the last 0.5 and got 36:02.

Benjamin did 16 with a 6.08 tempo run in 34:08.

17 total for me. Unplanned long run due to me thinking Sarah wanted me to get the car from the Canyon Glen, when in fact she did not and there was no car when I got there. So 5 extra miles. Perhaps for the better, because I was not planning on doing a long run on Saturday due to the mile on Monday.

Did a 1.5 mile pickup down the canyon in 8:45.

The kids did a warm-up in the morning, and raced 1600 at the Roadrunners' track meet in the evening. It was warm, around 80F, so they were somewhat sluggish. Times:

Jacob 4:52.33
Joseph 5:07.82
William 5:54.02
Matthew 6:01.62
Stephen 6:12.82
Mary 7:21.46
Bella 7:57.25

Benjamin did a tempo that ended up being a bit short of 6 miles at 5:24 pace.

13 total. Did 2x0.5 with Chad down the canyon 2:36, 2:34. William did the first one with us.

Joseph and Jacob did the first one in 2:24 together. On the second one, Jacob ran 2:18, Joseph 2:23.

William and Stephen did 5 miles. Bella and Mary did 2. Bella is starting to transition to 2 miles a day some days.

Benjamin did 2x some interval that was about 3 miles - Google Maps shows it is 3 miles exactly, but the wheel measurement shows it is 150 meters longer for some reason. Need to calibrate the wheel and remeasure. The first one was 15:17, second 15:50 (spasm).
