I just bought my first road bike.

I've already got a couple of races under the belt this spring. Spruce Woods Ultra is this weekend, and I'm pacing a friend. Saw you ran 100 in April, congrats...is there a race report?? Yep, it's on my blog: http://dalesblogaboutnothing.blogspot.com/2016/04/2016-zumbro-100.html The pacing went well...

10.9344 km

Trail races are never measured correctly.

Or there's always this one:

If you're going to run 150k, just do the extra 10k and call it a 100 miler.

My advice is to get a heart rate monitor. Figure out what your resting and maximum heart rates are (by doing an exhaustion test, rather than 220-age) and determine your zones from there. You may find that you've been running too fast on all your runs (which sabotages your training). But on the other...

So, Lance Armstrong raced his first ultra this last weekend. Scott Dunlap gives a recap in this blog post: http://www.atrailrunnersblog.com/2016/03/good-times-at-marin-ultra-challenge-50k.html My favourite part: 4:19?!? Who does that in their first hilly trail ultra? A guy who dopes, that's who.

I've always wanted a coach. Where you find one? Running Room?

I think it really depends upon your goals. I found mine on http://www.run100s.com/ but you might be looking for something different.

Done!

Ran 4 miles with the WH3. Was haring, and set a slightly longer trail than normal. I might have forgotten to set a few marks. Whoops!

I used to love running through Waterloo park. Very envious!

Thanks all! Great race report, Dale! Congrats on your buckle! You ran it well from the sounds of it, minus the unplanned unsupervised snooze. Good job and good luck on your quest for more buckles. What's next on your hit list? I regret nothing with the unsupervised snooze. It was probably the best t...

Crosstraining is supposed to prevent injury by engaging in cardio exercise using different muscles than normal. It probably works. I've never done it. I just run lots and stop/slow down when I feel an injury coming on.

Race report can be found here: http://dalesblogaboutnothing.blogspot.ca/2015/09/2015-superior-100-race-report.html

TL;DR: Tough race. Did well. Finished in 35:18.

I mostly run during my lunch hour from work. I have a few different routes that I can choose from, and sometimes I just wing it and explore a direction or street I've never run before. It really all depends upon the goal of my run: If it's an easy run, then I'm more likely to explore since getting l...

I *never* post in the daily thread.

I ran on Tuesday. 'Nuff said.

I'm in. I'll have to remember to regularly sync my watch.

I'm not under the impression that carb-loading is going to help me. But it's yummy and gives me an excuse to pig out on pasta, so that's good enough. :) I'm definitely under the impression that *anything*-loading is going to help me before an ultra. Sure beats heading into a race fasted, that's for...

I've got a sample size of 1, and it was a trail race. And it was 50k, so not exactly a marathon (but close enough)... My 50k PB had even splits between the first half and second half (out & back race course). I definitely believe in the negative split. At the very least, it feels great to be spe...

Not to be a total dick here, but... Hasn't it also been a few decades since somebody broke the Canadian men's marathon record?

Very well done!
