This is in China. Students in grades 5 and 6 will run a kilometre each day. Older students will run 1.5 or 2 kilometres. This started at the end of October and will continue until the end of April, for six months. This is, at the very most, about 12 minutes of daily activity for high school students...

The closest store is the Running Room on Yonge between Eglinton and Lawrence. They have the largest selection by far. If you're looking for a store with knowledgeable staff or flats or spikes, however, try The Runners Shop at Bloor and Avenue (180 Bloor Street West). That'll be on your way back to t...

Training does matter, but after the first marathon. So training doesn't matter for the first marathon? On this logic, a guy who has run a 1:10 half marathon is going to run 2:37 if he doesn't run a step for the 16 weeks preceding his marathon, or if he runs 90 miles a week. I can't even begin to te...

It looks like they went out at 2:09 pace chasing the additional prize money for a new course record, and couldn't hold it. It happens. If the 10k split is accurate, then they went out really fast in 30:19, at 2:07 pace, and paid for it a little bit. Mungara and Kiprotich only lost about 90 seconds o...

the rest of your examples aren't quite in the same class. You really have no idea what you're talking about. Cairo, Shenzhen, Buenos Aires and Los Angeles all have more people than Ontario (about 12-20 million) and smaller subway systems than Toronto (68 km of track). That's a good example of a pat...

Toronto's subway is pathetic. And with King David Miller it ain't going to improve. For all the taxes we pay, we don't get much back (unless you happen to share the kings love for his pet projects and over-paying all unionized staff. Then we continue to waste so much cash retrofitting old streetcar...

Why not take the Dundas streetcar from Dundas West to Chestnut (first stop after University) and walk south from there? I've taken the Bloor night bus many times. I really wouldn't rely on it to get me anywhere I really, really needed to be, like a marathon. It might be mostly empty and take 15 minu...

Doonst, you got me with Around the Bay. I should have mentioned that. I don't know why I didn't. I'm pretty sure the statistics are correct. Yes, sometimes I use the city name to refer to the marathon and other times I use the city name to refer to all races on that weekend, but I think it's clear f...

Thanks trixie! It's going well here in Korea. I'm not running as much as I'd like, but I'm still in pretty good shape. I have a 10k and a half coming up next month where I hope to be close to my bests. I'll get more serious starting in November for the Seoul Marathon in March. There are probably abo...

I'm in the exact same position, down to the same race (I was 3 spots ahead of you tonight). I was on fire all of last year through April of this year, but I haven't felt like training as hard since, and the times have been so-so as a result. If you haven't been doing the workouts, you know what to d...

I don't think he means the same pace that you'd run a mile repeat, but the same level of effort. So it'd be a slower pace but feel as tough as mile repeats. I still don't think I'd do hills that hard (but maybe I don't do them hard enough!). No, I mean the pace for one mile, all-out. A workout of 8...

I think I do hill repeats at about mile effort, but I've never really thought about it. If you don't know what that feels like, run them slow enough to make sure you can finish the workout. There's really no way to do hill workouts at a particular pace since each hill is different. The pace is not i...

I have many, here are a couple I can remember: In 2004, I went for a run wearing shorts on what was probably the coldest day of the year. I ran about 4k in a wind chill of -30. Later that same winter, I went for a run on a frozen creek with a friend. We made it about a kilometre before we got sick o...

It's my reply that you're talking about, and I stand by it. To give you another example, I'm not sure what sort of shape I'm in these days. My training has been inconsistent lately and my last race wasn't a good one. I'm running a 5k on Thursday. I could run anywhere from 17:00 to 19:00, and I would...

Run the workout at the pace that feels right. The idea is to get in a hard 20k run that gets you prepared for a hard 42k. If you feel like you're hustling a little bit at 4:06, then back off the pace a little bit. If 4:15 feels too much like a jog, then speed up a bit. The workout is where you find ...

If you want to get technical about it, as far as I know, you can't set a world record if you run the fastest 800m as part of a 1500m race which would mean it can't be a PR if it's part of a longer distance. Since World Records are managed and "policed" by someone and your PR or PB isn't. It would b...
