“To be a consistent winner means preparing not just one day, one month, or even one year — but for a lifetime.”
Bill Rodgers
I am on a list for top blog so if you can vote for this blog that would be much appreciated. The blog voting is at RunUltra and you go here to vote by going to the "Vote Here" link and then voting for "Tony Konvalin." There is a second possible blog vote I may be in but will not know till next week.
While I find running news in various places, such as on long list of websites I check, I do need to give a shout out to a few places that I either get news from or often have the same news as: iRunFar.com, Ultrarunnerpodcast.com Daily News, LetsRun.com & RunnersTribe.com. Of course as I mentioned there are others but these are good sources of more than I share so are good ones to get on their email lists.
Thanks to Ultrarunnerpodcast.com for uncovering this one - The Trail Running Film archive. Lots and lots of links to trail films, you could spend quite a bit of time here.
With the Honolulu Marathon this weekend it will be interesting to see what the winning time is as Dennis Kimetto the world record holder at 2:02:57 is entered. The current course record, set in 2016, is 2:09:38 by Lawrence Cherono who is also entered in the race this year.

Wish they could figure out how to get Nike and Footlocker together so the best HS runners could face each other but that said Katelyn Tuohy of North Rockland High School in New York sure looks like she could be the best on the girls side. As far as the Footlocker meet it is this week and here is the girl's preview and the boy's preview

Ultrarunning Magazine does a recap of The Running Event, an annual industry trade show
Back when I started running in the 70's the Fukuoka Marathon in Japan was a major marathon on the calendar. Great to see such a fast time this year with Norway's Sondre Moen running 2:05:48 and becoming the first non-African born runner on a record-eligible course to run under 2:06
Well I have gone and done it in purchasing a treadmill. Many dread, thus the term dreadmill, them but if you live in places with weather or just have a busy schedule they can be invaluable. Here are some good ideas to remove some of the dread: 3 Sessions to Keep You Fresh. From the minimal treadmill running, but lots of time on a bike trainer, I have done the key to working out on equipment such as treadmills is to break down the workout into smaller units, just as is often done in long races.
