I always ran my best when I was having fun."

Interview from early 2016 with Ryan Hall and a late 2017 interview Marathon Training Academy did with Ryan
This weeks Interview Tuesday was with Michael Kersey
Yuki Kawauchi is hard on himself after a "bad" race as he had at Chicago. Will be interesting to see how turning pro works for him - does not work for everyone. This interview looks at his turning pro
So what do you do after a disappointing marathon, well if you are Kawauchi you run the Namerikawa Hotaruika Half Marathon a week later and win in 1:05:18 then run the Venice Marathon this weekend, 3 weeks after Chicago. But looks like he has been entered for some time so not a decision made after a bad Chicago
The mind is an important, and often overlooked, part of how we do in training and racing so remember: Train the Mind and the Body will Follow
A look at who is running the New York Marathon, will be interesting to see how Bernard Lagat does
I mentioned these 2 Primal Endurance Podcasts last week but wanted to share a great insight from them. Often in our training we look to what the "elite" people do and try and emulate them and one of those areas is in miles run. The problem is that if an elite athlete runs, say, 100 miles a week and runs much of it at around 6:00-6:30/mile pace, their easy aerobic pace, they only put in about 10-11 hours of running. However if the average runner tries for a 100 miles a week at a much slower aerobic pace, say 8:00 - 10:00/mile -or slower, they will put in 13 - 17 hours, or more, and and be asking for trouble - food for thought. Part 1 & Part 2 or go to iTunes and look for Dude Spellings, Part 1 and Part 2
Dr. Mark Cucuzzella looks at the Two-Week Taper for a marathon along with other words of wisdom on running. Also, Mark will be running the MCM this weekend and looking to keep his sub 3hr streak going and make it 31 consecutive years. If you want to track Mark or any other runners at the MCM you can do so here.
Also, do not forget to get a copy of Mark's new book: Run For Your Life. I am almost done and will do a review in a few weeks, I am a slow reader:), but so far it is, as expected a great book with lots of information and "drills" for each chapter to help you apply what was taught in the chapter.
Here is a podcast where Marathon Training Academy talks to Mark Cucuzzella about his new book and things related to it
While using cyclists the conclusion work for running in that the simplest training data (Rating Perceived Exertion or RPR) what give you the data you need.

After 43 years the Canadian Marathon record of 2:10:09, held by Jerome Drayton, was broken by Cameron Levins at the ScotiaBank Toronto Waterfront Marathon this weekend where he ran 2:09:25. One of the hardest parts about running a good marathon is often patience and Cam was patient in Toronto, and it paid off.
Jos Hermans, agent for Kenenisa Bekele talks about Bekele's performance, or lack thereof , at the TCS Amsterdam Marathon where he dropped out with 1K to go but even then was not in contention since he was dropped at about 30K
With regards to Bekele and the ever present question of when is it time to step away here are some thoughts on the subject: When Your Heroes Overstay Their Welcome
