Regionals Recap: 11th, 30:04.31 Now that I’ve had a while to vent and recover, here’s how it went. It was a solid race for me, not great but solid, so there was no reason to walk away dissapointed except that I missed out on the 4th and final individual spot by .06sec. To make matters…

Here is the crappiest workout video you’ve ever seen, haha, but it provided a distraction, which comes in handy when you are working out by yourself.

Racing at altitude sucks, especially if you have never done it before. There is no other way to put it. Conference went okay in the sense that I ran tough and finished the race. Other than that, it was the most uncomfrotable race I have ever run. I have never felt like such crap, running…

I’m finally feeling back to normal again and have gotten in some good training. It took me a while to get over the sickness. From Saturday until Tuesday I felt bad, but then on wednesday I started to feel a lot better and by Friday I was almost normal again. The only thing that lingered…

Heat and Humidity suck. That’s the lesson learned today. After spending a week running in the nice cool temperatures in England, this morning’s run was horrible. It was a nice reminder to how bad the vicious combo is during the summer in Texas. England on the other hand was nice and cool. It was a…

This will be a short entry as I’m off to London for vacation. SHould be a pretty sweet trip. I’m looking forward to running in a new (and cooler) place. Besides the regular vacation junk, I’ll be attending my first european meet and it’s a big one (Norwich Union London Grand Prix). So far, I…

Alan webb is the man. What an incredible race by him in Belgium. Check out flocasts.com for a great video of it. I decided to try and post occasional updates of my actual day to day training. I figure there’s no need to be secretive and I’ll take a lead in being open about my…

We have a problem. Look at the information available to the public or even coaches out there on training elite runners. The information is sparse at best. Sure you could go to a clinic and pick up as much as you can in a 1 or 2 hour presentation, but can we really learn that…
