Tempo Workout

First workout with JL!

February 15, 2014 By Nichole Porath Leave a Comment

Jeff, one of Craig's friends, changed his work schedule around so that he is able to drive down to Northfield every Friday to do a workout. How lucky am I?!? Once the ski season is over, we should be able to have a pretty good sized/fast group training here in Northfield Friday ...

Great workout!

Yeah!!! I was not excited for this workout, not going to lie. It's one of the hardest of the cycle, both physically and mentally. 4x2miles at sub-marathon pace. Good thing I had recruited Pat (bike) and Craig (running) to help, and Craig had recruited Anders (running) to run ...

Watchless! And a “No Freaking Way!” Exclamation!

First long tempo – brutal as normal!

July 11, 2013 By Nichole Porath 3 Comments

Workout:  19 miles with 2x2 miles @5:40 at beginning, 3 miles @whatever I can muster (eventual goal is to hold 5:40s - but I've done  enough marathon training cycles to know that type of strength doesn't come until about 3-4 weeks to race day!). Actual:  19 miles ...

Yikes! Great last workout!!

October 31, 2012 By Nichole Porath 4 Comments

Oh, man - that was downright fun! I wasn't really looking forward to this workout, even though it's my last and I know it isn't that taxing.  (I can tell I'm at the end of a very long training cycle... this is NOT like me at all)  I didn't have a training partner due ...
