Did you recently run a race and surprise yourself? Or did you run a workout that you didn’t expect to go the way it did? What do you do when this happens?
First, don’t over react. A good result is a good sign, it doesn’t mean everything will now come easy. A bad result may signify a problem but it doesn’t mean you’re doomed to failure.
Let’s break down how we should handle an unexpected result from best case scenario to worst case scenario.

One of the topics I want to discuss this month is one that we’re all too familiar with. Another is one that we’re probably aware of but we probably don’t know a ton about. …
Al’s Run is always one of my favorite events of the year, largely because of the team aspect. As I’m sure almost everyone reading this is aware, Team HillRunner.com has been represented at Al’s Run for well over a decade by now. If I have the count right, this was the team’s 14th year under the HillRunner.com banner. It’s also my 17th year at Al’s Run and my 16th year as a member of a team (Team GTI first, which became the original core of Team HillRunner.com).
There are two things I absolutely love about this team. …
The 2017 Berlin Marathon was run yesterday. The men’s race was billed as an almost certain world record. It had the most dominant runner of recent years, Eliud Kipchoge, who was coming off his 2:00:25 “Breaking 2” effort. It had Kenenisa Bekele, who last year came up just seconds short of the world record. It had former world record holder and serial 2:03 runner Wilson Kipsang. How could this race not produce a world record?
Well, Kipchoge won in 2:03:32. 35 seconds short of the world record. Bekele and Kipsang didn’t finish. Instead, first time marathoner Guye Adola pushed Kipchoge, even taking the lead late in the race, before finishing just 14 seconds back.
What did we learn from this event?

I’m glad you found your way over!
Everything that I am planning to transfer to the new HillRunner.com is now here! Soon, I’ll post an update on what you can do in the new HillRunner.com.
Missing page/bad link? If you get an “Oops! That page can’t be found” error at any time, I am getting notified. I’ll work on setting up a redirect as soon as possible.
Calculators: The calculators are up and running.
Training Log: The training log is now in the new HillRunner.com! That’s the final piece of the puzzle.
I realize the training log is currently looking a little rough around the edges. To get things over as quickly as possible, I combined the old style formatting with the new style formatting. I’ll be updating the formatting as time passes to bring you a whole new look.
All functionality of the old training log should be working in the new training log (I tested all scenarios I could think of). However, if you do find something that isn’t working, please let me know and I’ll look at it as soon as possible.
Club/Coach pages: These pages are up and, in my opinion, better than ever.
Store/Pictures/other old pages: As of now, I don’t have a plan for these older pages that haven’t seen updates or really traffic for at least several years. Given their lack of traffic, I’m planning on phasing them out.
Accounts: All user accounts have been transferred.
