Game On – 6x1000m
During my very slow COLL performance, I had time to think about why I wasn’t performing as I had hoped. One of the things I decided was that from that day on, I needed to make the most out of each and every hard workout in my training schedule. Since Grandma’s, Jerry has had me…

Clumsy legs in route to a 19:37, and a trip home!
Happenings lately: Indoor 5k: I was so excited to race! St. Olaf held an indoor invitational at the end of January. I was pumped to be able to see my progress since my 19:05 at the Jingle Bell Run in December. I was the slowest seed time in the race, (wow!) which meant great competition….

Mark your calendars! TNC Endurance Camp!
What are you doing May 15-17th? I have 10 available spots! I am very hands on during the camp. I look over current plans, make suggestions, look at heart rate data, and provide advice on “the little things”. You will also leave the camp with just a *few* miles/hard workouts on your legs! Pre-registration required….
Great article! It was cold in 1983 and a little rainy – and I took fifth in my age class, though I hate cold races. There's a guy in Japan that last year ran a 2:08 and who works 40 hours per week. I remember when Derek Clayton was asked if his then 12 year-old record of 2:08 would ever be broken and he said, "Of course. But not by someone working full-time like I did." So far he's still the fastest – the Japanese guy missed his time by a few seconds.
