Weekly RunDown #156


"I want to thank the rest of you for making me look normal."
Gordon Ainsleigh


Article on the WSER and Gordon Ainsleigh

Here is last weeks overview of training week #13 for an upcoming R2R2R, Boston and Dirty Kanza.

Also in the past week I had the pleasure to talk to an old teammate at the University of Arizona - Tim Barnes - who runs M360 Clinical Fitness  - on his podcast  Power 2 Learn.  We talked about fueling and other topics - always fun to talk on these subjects - here is the podcast Fueling the Ultra Life

Fast Women Newsletter #36 for September 9, 2019

Q&A with Michele Yates

When out running and see a snake what do you do?  Here are some ways NOT to identify venomous snakes

Jenny Simpson shares on drug testing and especially as it relates to the Christian Coleman incident in missing 3 tests.  She for sure speaks out as here is a comment on his missed tests:
“This whole idea of, Oh, I accidentally missed three tests — I haven’t missed three tests in my entire career…I don’t know how in the world you can be so irresponsible to miss three in 12 months…If you miss three tests, it’s either because you’re cheating or because you’re an idiot and under both circumstances, you shouldn’t be able to compete.”

How often do we end up wining in training but lose at the real race - bottom line is you do not have to win training

Good Endurance Planet podcast with Phil Maffetone and Mark Allen on Having a Coach, MAF and Longevity

Good insight into shoes - I can relate to this with some calf/achilles issues recently.  Idea is like a cast you get for a broken bone it meant for short term and you would not leave on forever so a shoe with higher lift and support may be needed for a short time.

David Roche and Training for the Busy Athlete

Good interview with Nicole Bitter on the Human Performance Outliers Podcast with her husband Zach Bitter and Dr. Shawn Barber

Speaking of Nicole and Zach Bitter they are both running Spartathlon in Greece September 27th - 28th and here is the full US team for 2019

A look at improving your running posture

Nike runs a time trial at their track and 3 guys go under 13:00:39 with Woody Kincaid going Sub 13:00 - and another article on the run

A great story of persevering as Scotty Hawker was in 39th at UTMB but rallied back to finish on the podium

Hmm, maybe there is more cross over form cycling to running ultras than one may think as ex-cyclist wins overall in her first 100k

Hope to have an article or two later on the race but John Kelly (16th) and Jason Koop (27th) finished the Tour des Geants

Want to do a fun race before you dig into the days festivities then how about the Pilgrimage in the Park at Pulaski County Park in Nancy Kentucky on November 28, 2019. Did it last year but will be out of town this year but highly recommend this one. Great trails and great people.
