Lactate Threshold….what the heck is it?
I’ve decided to post some writings I’ve done on a couple training aspects. I’ll try and post more periodically and hopefully they help some people out. If you have any questions, e-mail me or leave them under the comments section at the end. The idea behind the following articles is to look at a couple…
Read MoreHawaii
I’ve been in Hawaii for a bit now on a family vacation which means limited computer access.It’s been pretty fun and all but the running is killing me. The hardest part is the second run of the day. It’s hellishly tough some days to get that second run in after already running in the morning…
Read MoreMail Bag: Question on difference in form in CC compared to Track.
I’ve gotten some questions about my comment on the cross-country race that my running form/mechanicsdon’t suit that type of race. First we will go withthe simple explanation that I am a rhythm runner and atrack type runner. This means I run best when I getinto a particular rhythm with my stride. This can’toccur on a…
Read MoreCalifornia trip
Well I learned a couple of things this weekend. 1. I am not a “mudder.” I actually already knew this, but it was confirmed this past weekend. My running style doesn’t suit mud very well. I lose too much with each stride. 2. I definately did not have enough hill work for this XC race.…
Read More-First off. The official word is that the course for the Run Thru the Woods was 5.2 miles. That’s nice to know and makes the race even better. Felt good and smooth running that fast (roughly 23:50 for 5mi) so that’s a good sign. -Secondly, for those interested I try and keep you up to…
Read MoreTurkey Trot- Can I ever run an accurate course?
The answer seems to be no. I ended up winning the woodlands 5 miler today. My final time was 24:50 but that really doesn’t tell the story. Before I get into how it went, congrats to my buddy Andy Stover who got 5th and would have PR’d if the course was accurate… Anyways we took…

Read MoreCHille Pepper Race
Well the race didn’t go exactly as planned…… Started out good enough. Felt pretty strong. Started off fairly well. First mile was around 4:40. Then I slowly moved up into the 2nd tier pack. I tried to just keep picking people off as I didn’t know what kind of shape I was in. At around…
Read MoreSorry for not updating for a while… Training has been going well. I’ve had some good workouts. Anyways, to update on my recent “projects”. -I’m gonna use myself as a guinnie pig to test different types of trainings effect on lactate clearance. Of course it won’t be a controlled scientific experiment, but I definately think…
Read MoreSo So Sick of being tired and oh so tired of being sick…
Being sick sucks. It’s the worst for a runner whose kind of obsessive like myself because you feel bad backing off in training. I’m a lot better than I used to be. Now I can justify it and convince myself that rest or easy jogging is better for me than hitting some mileage amount for…
