How many of these places have you been able to run in?

Why do we use the 7 day training cycle we use - as one gets older you may want to opt for 9 days

Good post from Mark Sisson on Intermittent Fasting For Athletes

Many are fat-phobic and in doing so miss out on not only healthy but great tasting food like butter and cheese

Gene Dykes shares how running ultras has has helped his marathon times.  I have to say running some ultras and riding long rides does help make shorter stuff fell even shorter.


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

Come out to Freeman Lake in Elizabethtown Kentucky July 13th to run a fun and challenging race, or if really ambitious races.  At the Freeman Lake Summer Trail Challenge 5K and 10K you can run one or both if you want a challenge.

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
