Weekly RunDown #8 (Oct 28, 2016)

If you are on a LCHF diet or just want a good healthy pizza for a quick snack you may want to try Real Good Pizza (yes it is a referral link) with only 4gms of Carbs in a 5" pizza.   The crust is made of chicken and parmesan cheese and is quite tasty.   They are a little more than your usual store bought pizza but have better ingredients than most and for their size are fairly filling.  They deliver to your door in a foam container packed with dry ice to keep them cold.  If you want to try them I have a coupon code you can use: BGRUNNER10 .   If you have any trouble getting the 10% off let me know.

OK now for the info you were waiting for:)

If you were in a hole somewhere you may have missed it but Pete Kostelnick broke the Transcontinental Record by averaging 72 miles a day

Another article on Pete's run across the US: How to Run Across the Country Faster than Anyone

It does not get any easier when you move up to the 60-64 age group:  A Remarkable Masters Marathon Record.

Good article on Super Masters runner Ed Whitlock - Age Is No Barrier

More masters info as there were fast times in Syracuse NY at the Syracuse Festival of Races October 2nd.

From getting a lot of notice in the 2016 US Olympic Trials for his "unconventional" looks while getting last place in 31:02.99 Noah Droddy moved up to 2nd place at the USATF 10 Mile Championships in 47:28, a good story of sticking with it.

Can't get into the Hardrock 100 well there are 6 Southwest Colorado Trail Races you could enter instead.

Want to run a winer marathon and can travel here are some to think about:  Top Winer Marathons in the US

While on the topic of lists what would be your bucket list of marathons?  Here is a list someone put together, never thought to Tokyo as being on my list:  Bucket List Marathons & Here is a list of The 30 Best Marathons in the World, well at least as far as that site is concerned.  Leave a comment as to your list and I will compile a list for a later Weekly Rundown.

Previously I had the edited version of Jim Walmsley's Grand Canon Rim-to-Rim-to-Rim.  Well for those of you, like me, that just like to see more of the trails here is a longer unedited version.




For those of you that have not checked out The Ginger Runner YouTube Channel here is a video he did on his first 100 miler called Amongst the Evergreens.
