Yesterday was the ultimate recovery day, time in NormaTec MVP recovery boots, massage, ice bath, extra sleep, and a nap. These days after a race are filled with some idle tasks, laundry, grocery shopping, unpacking/packing bags, and catching up on mail. This is the time you tend to reflect on your races when you have [...]
Two weeks have passed since my last blog update with a couple of my own races and nearly half a dozen high school track meets! The last week of April I traveled home for the Penn Relays 10,000m on the track. From the last blog post you can tell I was excited to race at [...]
This week was highlighted by the Centaurus girl’s team breaking the school’s 4×800 meter record. They ran 10:16.59 to better the previous mark of 10:16.9. They’ve been a great group to coach this season and that race was a wonderful highlight of hard work and patience paying off. There were plenty of PRs and great [...]
This week was another quality week of training. A hard track session on Tuesday was the highlight of the week, with a quality long run on Thursday, fast 200s on Friday, and a 5k win on Sunday! I coped the week of training from my Athleticore.com log below. The only run I didn’t include was [...]
Hello! A former college teammate of mine, Ryan Foster, is organizing a 1000 mile relay world record attempt to benefit the Kevin Dare Foundation. This is a great event and I would have loved to participate if I was not going to the Kauai Marathon. Please read through the press release and spread the word. [...]
Simple message today brought on by one of my friends and runners I coach in Maine, Seth Hasty…Love The Sport. Ten days before the race, Seth asked to run a half-marathon after a slight PR about three weeks before. It was a hometown race and he felt he could place high while running in front [...]
Continuing to keep the running volume low, I had another very good week of training and have definitely shown myself I’m ready to run the 10k at the Penn Relays in a few weeks! This last week was a very fun week. I was lucky to have my mom come and visit on Thursday and [...]
Last year, the USATF Colorado division created state championship events promoting increased competition and prize money. I was able to finish 2nd in two of these events (with first place going to Mizuno teammate Patrick Rizzo) – the 10k and the half-marathon. In 2012, the USATF Colorado Championships included a 5 Mile event. The Boulder [...]
Hello everyone! My apologies for the lack of blog posts lately. I’ve been incredibly busy with coaching at Centaurus High School, helping organize the Warrior Marble Relay, as well as my own training. The Warrior Relay was a huge success due to the unbelievable support of the Centaurus track team, their family, friends, and the [...]
This Saturday, March 17th will be the inaugural 12-hour relay event at Centaurus High School in Lafayette, Colorado. After the cross country season banquet, Head Coach Devin Rourke and I were discussing fundraisers for the track team. The problem with track fundraisers in the past is that they were not related to running and did [...]
