This race was the anniversary of my racing debut last year so I was looking forward to running it again. The weather all day was nasty with t-storms rolling through and gusty winds. The storms had mostly passed by race time, but the wind was a factor. I was looking for a tail wind from the west, but...

looks like there might be some nasty weather for the 10K tonight. Does the race still go in a t-storm? Not too worried about rain, but lightning???...I hope that everyone has better weather Sunday morning

Umm, wow. great report and adventure

The goo...

Thanks everyone for your kind words and encouragement!

I exaggerate a wee bit (3:40 to be exact), but yea I am happy and I was excited to see the clock!

Great race! You'd likely be even faster if you weren't so packed in at the beginning.

awesome race! You really are quick

The inaugural Oakville Mercedes Benz 10K race sold out at 1000 racers; no race expo but the free tech shirt and new balance socks that were picked up with the kit on race day are nice. The morning started cool, about 10 degrees, overcast, and damp after a previous night of howling wind and thunderst...

Hi Hezzy, great question. I am in about the same boat as you in terms of race and 4 runs/week schedule, and also wanting to solidify base for the fall, so I am interested in the replies too. I came across a pretty clear summary of some conservative plans for how to maintain/increase running base: go...

Do I really have to change my whole way of training simply because I've passed some magic age threshold? I’m new to RM and haven’t posted often, but I am really interested in this thread and the relation between injury and age. FWIW, I am getting the sense that there actually is a threshold effect ...

If you don't mind me asking, where did you buy the Nathan belt from?

Thanks!
