“Running well is a matter of having the patience to persevere when we are tired and not expecting instant results.”
Robert de Castella
The winner of the SFuels drink was Jenny Ham
For this week's Interview Tuesday I talked to Ultra runner and Race Director Doi Calbes of the Philippines. Enjoy the interview and check out one of his races - there is a mention of his Mt. Apo race further down in this post
iRunFar.com's This Week in Running: October 15, 2018
Good article that deals with the saying"good is the enemy of great" and positing that "It's Okay to Be Good and Not Great."
Might be a good race between Jim Walmsley and Rob Krar in Hong Kong but as it looks like the course is not the usual hilly and steep Hong Kong courses and with Jim looking to get ready for the Olympic Marathon Trials I would give the nod to him - but never count Rob out
Dr. Maffetone looks at training and the concept of looking at effort in a workout as constant instead of looking at effort as the constant
Good article in that so often from pictures and articles running is often portrayed as all smiles and goodness - but we all have not so good days
I posted this last week but as the race starts this weekend, when it ends????, so how long/far will they go next week at Big's Backyard Ultra. Will be interesting to see how far Courtney Dauwalter can go and how Guillaume will do this year. Should be fun - to follow that is:)
Laird Hamilton's 5 rules for healthy living
A favorite of most runners is the pre/post run cup of Joe so here is a look at caffeine and performance
A look at the belief by some that one needs to refrain from caffeine before an event when it is to be used to get the most effect, but is this a myth?
I have a hard time with an hour on the TM but 264.5 KM (164.35 miles) in 24 hours is hard to fathom.
A new podcast to checkout - The 1609 Podcast (iTunes link) - by the way1609 is the number of meters in a mile if you were wondering where the name came from.
A couple good shows, 2 parts, to listen to, well most all of them are good, on the Primal Endurance Podcast. Brad Kearns talks to Dude Spellings about how he went from where he was, where most of us were/are, with regards to training and health to where he is now and how his training has changed. Part 1 & Part 2 or go to iTunes and look for Dude Spellings, Part 1 and Part 2
I love X-Country and will be good to get the course back to being tough and not simply track races on grass with a few bumps and hay bales. That said not so sure about catering the race to a particular demographic at the Olympics but might be OK for some other races.
What is holding you back, maybe it is you?
