Monthly roundup: May 2018

This month, I’d like to address a topic I often find myself discussing: running your easy days easy enough.

Then I’d like to address a few very common beliefs many runners carry around that are not (or may not be) right:

1) Running isn’t bad for your knees, possibly even if your knees are bad to start.

2) Lactate is not your enemy.

3) “Extreme” running may not be bad for your immune system.

Remembering Coach Conway

I heard the news today that my first running coach and one of the two or three greatest influences in my life passed away yesterday.

Many of you who know me well know how important Coach Conway was in my life. He was a role model, inspiration, and mentor.

To those of us lucky enough to have been mentored by him, our lives have been transformed for the better because of his role in our lives.

Don’t be afraid to run slow

Last week, I had three runs that stuck out on my training log: 6 miles at 9:00 pace, 5 miles at 8:55 pace, and 7 miles at 8:56 pace.

Given the fact that I also had a 15 mile run at 7:58 pace and a workout where I ran mile repeats in the 6:13-6:14 range and half mile repeats at 5:40 pace, I think you can see why those runs stuck out.

Was I disappointed with those runs? Not one bit.
