Weekly RunDown #136


"In order to cash in on all the training, get the rest. If you can't run as fast as you want to, you haven't enough."
Ted Corbitt

Remembering Ted Corbitt and if you want to know more read his biography.  No, if you are a long distance runner you need to read this book so you know more of the history of running, and especially Ted Corbitt.

iRunFar.com's This Week in Running: April 22, 2019

LetsRun.com's The Week That Was in Running: April 16-21, 2019

This week for Interview Tuesday I talked to Ultrarunner, Race Director and Kentuckian - Cynthia Heady

Here is the review I did this week of Meb Keflezighi's new book 26 Marathons: What I Learned About Faith, Identity, Running, and Life from My Marathon CareerIn the review I link to a podcast LetsRun.com did with Meb and here is an interview with him on The Strength Running Podcast

Next up to read and review is Ryan Halls - Run the Mile You're In.  

Not on running but one of the best videos of not only sportsmanship but perseverance.  What is stopping you getting out today?

Part 1 of a look at crossing America on foot

London is this weekend and it could be a good one

I always like reading articles/interviews with Kipchoge and with London this weekend here is one from Runner's World

How about an Age Group World Marathon Championship - well there is one via the Abbott Wold Marathon Majors

Can't run Boston - then how about the Don't Run Boston race

The importance of protein during your run

Ragnar is mixing up with the option of the Black Loop

If you are like me running at night is not something you do often and even less so on trails so here is some advice on how to do so

I may need to add the Whiskey Basin 88k to my list of races to do - here is a report on the race from Sarah Lavender Smith at The Runner's Trip

So now instead of a swath of Pinkish/Red at the head of a race are we now to see lime green and Nike comes out with the ZoomX Vaporfly NEXT% - to be debuted in London this week - who will be wearing them

Local, to Kentucky, Races and Events
(If you have a race in the area, including surrounding states, let me know and I will post about it)

Running groups are a great way to get to know people but also a great way to help you progress and get out and run.  If you are in the Elizabethtown KY area check out the Running Soles Group and if you are closer to Campbellsville check out the Campbellsville Running  Club.  Have another local running group in KY let me know and I will list it.

Check out these Race Companies for local races: Good Times Even Services & Central Kentucky Race Management.  For trail and Ultra races in Kentucky and Virginia check out Next Opportunity Events

Wants some fun then head out to Pulaski County Park to run the Mud Mayhem Fun Lake Cumberland 5k Obstacle Challenge on July 20, 2019

If you are a boy or girl in Middle School or High School and run you may want to look into attending the  Ky Elite Distance Running Camp in Somerset Ky July 25-27, 2019.  I helped last year and it was a great camp.

If you want to try an ultra you might want to run the Backyard Classic 8 hour run in Elizabethtown, KY on August 17, 2019

Always a good race is the Lake Cumberland 1/2 Marathon in Somerset, KY on September 7, 2019

Want a tough but beautiful 100 race in the Daniel Boone National Forest then check out the NoBusiness 100 - October 12, 2019
