i wish. keep looking for something to run. the khunjerab pass marathon seems to be cancelled: the website is no longer there. glad i didn't put any money down on that. there was a 5k/10k/half/marathon in hunza a couple of years ago organized by samina baig (climbed everest at age 21, climbed the other six summits in eight months at age 23, first pakistani woman to do either of those things). need to find out if it's on again this year. if so then i should contrive to be there and compete.

damn that sucks a$$. Website disappearing is sketchy.

at some point you might have to organize your own race ......... not sure how hard that would be.

damn hope you find something in the not-so-distant future.

that Loco Rio group I run with organizes their own races, plan on doing some eventually. I think the next one is in April (8k). They also talked about creating their own XC "circuit".. i'd be very interested in that. I love running on soft surfaces.

the problem with organizing your own race here is the police and security. basically if you want to have any large concentration of people, especially outside, you need a "no-objection" from the police and that can take ages and they're liable to cancel at the last minute. happened to my gf last month: she was supposed to open for this big pop star on valentine's day and like two days before they said, all outdoor events on valentine's day are banned. it was a bummer.

damn!!! that really sucks.

that said, one of the guys i ran with last wednesday morning said there was an austrian lady who used to live here who organized a triathlon and left behind a list of all the steps she took to get that done. so it's possible. longer-term project perhaps.

nice.

hmm.. if you eventually try & do it: maybe for the first one, create a race that benefits the police or some kind of charity/organization they are involved in? they might be less likely to shut it down in that scenario. dno.

suffering, vs not suffering.

Great experience yesterday running the #us15kchamps with some absolute legends. Knew the marathoners would have a sliiiiiight advantage in the strength department, but met my goal of hanging with them as long as possible. A fun introduction to the longer road distances, congrats to winner @mollyhuddle + runner-up @jordanhasay , and good luck in Boston!

FAST AF.



he did the 5k yesterday (it was a 5k/10k combined race), just took off @ 5:05 min/mi pace.

Perhaps against my better judgment I have signed up for the Edinburgh Half Marathon on the 27th of May. My two pals from the hard 10 mile run are running the full marathon that day, too.

that's a big step!! I know for sure you can complete a half, not sure if you can complete one at some goal pace consistently throughout .. but by May 27th, you should be able to for sure, especially if you keep getting in some long runs with those guys who are doing the marathon.

Just no burgers & grease shortly before the runs, lulzuzluz.

pretty cool tho man!! halfs are long! but alot slower, so kind of enjoyable .. mine was mostly enjoyable until mile 10. lol. but that probably has more to do with training...... I've done 10 mile long runs at consistent paces, but not much more than that. So, body is probably just programmed to relax after 10. Need to fix that ASAP. March 24th coming up soon

excited to watch you train for that. maybe do a few 5k's in between? one or two in april, maybe another in early May. Staying "race fresh", even if it's a shorter distance, really helps.

peace!!!!!

Updated with latest 10k results.

Also, added "Schiffy 5k" which is on grass , next sunday! Plan on doing a long run Saturday, 5k on grass Sunday, and resting Monday!!

- 10k watch based PR by nearly 3 minutes!!! 

pretty brutal 10k .. the first 3 miles today were harder than my 5k last week, in which I hit ~5:43 pace .. cold coming on might have something to do with it, or headwind, or both, or just fluctuations in performance. dno. all good though, had to push harder than expected - and I did, so i'm proud of that.

last 1.2 miles was brutal.

that "finish with a hard mile" in my recent training sessions, really helped me today. I was hurting but, I had 1.2 miles of "kick" (fatigued kick) in me .. kept thinking about the 5:21 I hit after so many miles in training, or the 5:4X's etc.. so, it helped me mentally, because I knew I could finish strong.

so that's pretty cool.

wanted sub37 but i'll take it

Also, Andrea (training partner) got 4th OA / first female with a huge PR. 38:38 watch? 38:49 official. flying!! Congrats!!!







^^ i've seen this happen quite a few times for myself.. HR going down as I pick up intensity to a certain point. Wonder if it's legit/accurate & has anything to do with running economy and such.............. never know. heh.

my splits: (just listing for comparison below)
- 5:52, 5:57, 6:05, 6:09, 6:01, 5:50, 0.23=5:36
- that 6:09 was pathetic .. i was debating life at that point, then manned the fu*k up.


runlikeagirl update: she hit 38:48 official, 38:38 watch .. previous PR was like, 39:24. 4th OA, 1st women. Was hoping she could catch Cory and get 3rd, lol.

her splits:
- 6:13, 6:11, 6:20, 6:12, 6:16, 6:14, 0.23=6:03


Cory is a damn beast. He's the guy who helped me PR my 1k. He takes big risks and sometimes they pay off. I just had more in the tank in the final 2 miles, even though he had a huge lead on me, I was able to cut it down. First time i've ever "sniped/hunted" someone... tbh, i'd rather be hunted. Hunting is stressful.. "will I be able to catch this guy?!!?" over and over. lol.

He got 37:31

His splits were:
- 5:50, 5:50, 6:00, 6:20, 6:20, 6:18, 0.13=6:21
- he ran 6:13, said maybe he ran "too many tangents" .. I need that tangent skill. I ran 0.1 mile more than him.. lmfao!
