This week's Interview Tuesday was with Jeremy Sandford

iRunFar.com's This Week in Running: April 29, 2019

All too often not only do the spectators know little of the major players in the marathon but often seems the announcers are not as knowledgeable as commentators of other sports are.

Feeling like you have overtrained, here are three strategies to reset your body

Good stuff to hear, Feet Hurt? Fix Your Hips, as I know while my foot issues are not solved they are vastly better and most of corrected it was  done by dealing with things up the chain from my feet.

I could link to a lot of this individually, as have come across a much of it, but this gives credit where due for putting it all together in one place - so check out the Fast Women newsletter

LetsRun.com is a great place for running/racing info tough not much on the Ultra scene and if you go to their message boards they can be entertaining if not at times infuriating, the nature of message boards I think.  That said through the end of may they are looking at the Ultra Running world and in the linked to podcast/article talk to Sage Canaday who I have seen active on the MBs

Hoka sets up the Project Carbon X 50mile and 100K record attempt, and also to promote their new shoe - Letsrun.com post on it here and Hoka post here - See video below in video section

Eliud Kipchoge wins London and while second place was not far behind and also under 2:03 it was not that close - getting some perspective on what he did in London.  Brigid Kosgei won over a stellar field.

Three types of Masters Runners


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

If you are in the Somerset KY area June 1, 2019 think about running the Over My Head 5KAll Proceeds will go to support Over My Head Somerset. The Local Homeless shelter in Somerset & Pulaski County - Consider making an extra donation.

If you are closer to Radcliff KY on June 1st then you might want to run The Duane Klug Memorial 5k that is run to support the North Hardin HS Boys Soccer Team - the race is hosted in honor of the memory of the former NHHS  Soccer Coach who passed away in 2013.

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 - See video below on the 2018 race.

In it's second year is the Falls 100 Ultra Trail Race (also a 50, Marathon and 1/2 Marathon as well as a 100 mile relay) - Run at the Falls of the Rough Resort in KY December 7, 2020
