right. guys running sub5 for 26.2 miles haven't maximized their potential. lmfao.

I want to do an OCR next year, but just to try and beat everyone. While I respect people who train hard for OCR's, they don't personally appeal to me, lots of useless stuff. The badmouthing of marathons is funny.. I don't know alot about OCR, but I don't know of any that approach 3 hours in duration etc.

Triathlons/ironman triathlon/marathons etc are fucking nuts & extremely difficult, that's a damn fact. heh.

Wilson Kipsang slams Kenya Athletics. Says Kenya will lose it's dominance within 5 years if they don't get the greedy fucks out (my words).

great quick article on Cabada

“It's a struggle to go out and get that extra 5, 6 miles in,” he says. “But the minute you start cutting it short, then that's the minute where it's going to be easier in a race to give in.”

alot of truth to that. cutting it short can sometimes be good, but can also help you cut it short in a race. have to be careful with it.

true. i remember back in college reading a blog entry from one of the all-time great college ultimate players, josh ziperstein. (he was an elite club player too but then he became a doctor and stopped playing.) it was a list of tips for his teammates and included a lot of good advice (e.g. when flying to a tournament, get up and walk around the cabin at least once an hour and while you're up drink a cup of water.) but the thing that stuck with me the most was, to paraphrase, never give up on a rep. if you're running 40s or cone drills or 400s or whatever, finish hard, because ingraining that mentality in practice makes it easier to run through in games without having to think about it.

yup definitely. i've given up in workouts/finished weak etc, and you can definitely feel the effect it has on you. makes it easier to do when it matters, 100%.

one thing i'm slightly proud about, is how i've finished every race, never once stopped running. i'd stop if i was injured, but i haven't stopped when i've done some pretty epic blow ups. I just keep running, somehow. I make sure to do that though.. I feel like if I stopped to walk etc, that could have some very bad consequences down the line. Though, i'd sometimes like to be able to push myself to the point that I absolutely have to walk - ie if i'm just trying to keep up with much faster people and i want to do it for as long as physically possible. In that scenario, I don't think stopping to walk etc would be much of a problem.

nice little interview with Houlihna

Quote
“Running is without doubt something that I love, and I sometimes think people underestimate the power of love. I don’t love running because I am good at it, I’m good at running because I love it. It is something that brings me joy because I am passionate about it.”

The pre-race meal

Most Kenyan athletes choose to race and train on a fairly empty stomach. Often first thing in the morning with just a few sips of water. Mary Keitany told us her go to breakfast the morning of a marathon is a cup of chai tea and a chapatti – nothing complicated. It’s what her body is used to and she knows it works, so why change it on race day? This is the same for most of the runners in Iten; a simple breakfast, nothing that will upset the stomach or feel too heavy. With a good meal of ugali and beans the night before they will have plenty of fuel for the race ahead.
