2021 WMTRC Training: Week 17
I was close to my 50 mile goal (49) this week! So close but it felt so far away. I was able to complete 2 workouts with another big Thursday workout (thanks to Dan). I still felt pretty strong overall. I thought I could sneak in a third workout on Saturday but the rain had […]
2021 WMTRC Training: Week 16
Impressive workouts followed up with lazy mileage. I let “busy” get the better of me. No running for 3 days from Friday to Sunday is not the way to reach my goals. This may sound unnecessarily harsh, but I didn’t prioritize my time well on Friday and Sunday. Life happens. All I can do is […]
2021 WMTRC Training: Week 15
The mantra this week was “find a way to get it done.” I missed too many early mornings for my liking. Work has gotten way busier with the Company’s upcoming earnings call and budget season. I refuse to use this as an excuse. Everyone is busy and those who succeed always find a way. Not […]
2021 WMTRC Training: Week 14
Added a down week for this week because of travel to Chicago. I wanted to make sure I focused on spectating the Chicago Marathon. And it did not disappoint! Unfortunately missed several of my friends on the course as I was chasing another friend, Joe Hale, on his PR attempt but I was elated to […]
2021 WMTRC Training: Week 13
I’m a bit behind on the weekly recaps but I am committed to sharing a separate post each week! A big week with 61 miles but I want to dial back the total mileage and long run distance a bit. So I can focus on quality over quantity. I still like having my long run […]
2021 WMTRC Training: Week 12
Third week of hitting 50 miles for my weekly miles. I’m happy with the consistent mileage but too many of my miles were concentrated on the long run (20/51). Needless to say I was very hungry after the long run! I took 2 rest days: my usual rest day on Monday and Sunday. I stayed […]
2021 WMTRC Training: Week 11
Week 2 since the WMTRC announcement and not much has changed. I need to prioritize trail running on Sunday. It was a long day with the LSU game but I will need to figure it out to make sure I’m rested for Sunday. Although these are “negatives” I am highlighting, there are positives too. I’ll […]
2021 WMTRC Training: Week 10
New race, same week count. The 2021 World Mountain & Trail Running Championships (“WMTRC”) was rescheduled to November 3-6, 2022 due to COVID. The race will be in Chiang Mai, Thailand and I will be joining 9 other athletes as part of team Cambodia! The NYC marathon conflicts with the travel and race schedule, which […]
2022 NYC Marathon Training: Week 9
Strong start to the week but couldn’t build the mileage over the weekend. I skipped the long run since I was traveling to New Orleans for labor day weekend. I should’ve prepared for the trip and long run better but it happens. The weekly volume is trending downwards but I’m not concerned. I know where […]
2022 NYC Marathon Training: Week 8
Didn’t get a pic from last week’s run but here’s a throwback to last year’s long run! The mileage is still lower than expected but I am still consistent. Another week at 40 miles in the books! I am content with last week considering how iffy my right leg has been feeling. I was to […]
