Taking the week a bit easy, to let the calves grow a bit. However,
friday's combined squat / bike session played hell with saturday, when
I was going to go for an easy hike. My knees were too sore for
anything more than a relaxed stroll in town. However, I was in a good
enough shape to do an easy 300m climb on Sunday. Splits:
Time Altitude from start:
14 105
17 115
29 240
40 235
49 285
93 0
Given these figures, it seems I can sustain a 5-10m/minute climb rate,
which is in line with my goals. Now the only thing I lack is speed,
but I think I should be more patient. Building my hill-climbing
ability has always been easier for me than increasing my speed on the
flat and downhills (mainly due to my calves/soleus being too weak to support my considerable weight at high speeds).

Week Summary:
Rtime Rclimb Ltime Lclimb Htime Hclimb Onfeet
5:45 2780 1:41 1230 2:00 270 7:45
That makes 100 hours for the year, a modest volume for most people, but
for me that's good four months into the year, and it's a little ahead of
my plan.
Goals:
5/27 Pineland Farms 50 km run
7/29 Escarpment trail 30 km mountain run
9/30 Vermont 50 km run
More detail on blog if interested.

# Please tell us about your training week and goals.
Five days of running in maybe 35 miles total. Reasonably healthy just
feeling slow and not particularly motivated.
No clear racing goals in sight at this time ... AAU basketball season
for the younger 6'2 daughter.

I did three laps Saturday - two run and one hike. The temp was in the
50's and beautiful. Will be doing 4 laps next Saturday if you
interested in some or all. I'm ramping up for Finger lakes 50k in
June

If you want pure hike sans any ugly footing there is always Overlook.

Watermelon Run 4:33 http://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/7314097 an unsupported run, part of http://mountain-trail-series.blogspot.com/ I carried about 3ltrs & drank another liter at a fountain on top. Some snow near the crest slowed us down a bit, but the runners near me split off to do other routes, and with the trail clear on top, I ran the remaining miles pretty hard, trying to beat an old 'masters' CR, which I did by a few minutes. The big success was remembering to stop at ~10miles and catch up somewhat on water loss, and if I do that during upcoming ultras I'll should perform much better.

Weather was perfect, no injuries, and the MT110s with Drymax MaxProtection socks did well: I won't run an ultra without these socks anymore, though heavy they dampen the harshness of minimal-cushioned shoes & keep my poor downhill braking-on-every-step technique from causing blisters. A good day! Anyone tried the La Sportiva Vertical K shoes yet?

More a training month really...
> Greetings wreck runners! Please tell us about your training week and

At the start of the month I had a great 2 day training run over the 52 miles
of the Highland Fling race route. A group of us ran 34 miles on the
Saturday, stayed at a nice bunk house where lots of wine and beer was drunk,
and then ran the remaining 18 miles the next day. I learned a lot from this
run in terms of nutrition, not just about alcohol! ;-)
Straight after that my running went on the "back burner" so to speak as I
started putting miles on my bike for the Scottish Bike Show 100 mile
Sportive around Loch Lomond and the Trossachs. It was a beautiful but very
hilly route and I was pleased with my time of 7:14:30. Of course compared
to "real" cyclists my result was pretty mudane (179 out of 269, the fastest
was 5:14) but given that my bike cost about a 5th to a 10th of what all the
other bikes cost there I didn't feel too bad. ;-)

Anyhow, once that was out of the way it left me just 2 weeks to get ready
for the 52 mile Fling race which was last Saturday. It a hilly rough route
and I
had an absolute nightmare of a race last year when I got my nutrition all
wrong and wanted to die (or kill myself, I'm not sure which) and took 13
hours & 48 minutes. This year went a *lot* better and I never suffered any
serious energy dips and finished in 11:22:12. 20th V50 out of 52 and 166th
out of 362 finishers so in the top half of the field which is always good.

Legs are recovering well, been for a 5 mile run today with no real problems.
http://connect.garmin.com/activity/173308693 Now just have to prepare for a
2x40mile ultra over two days in two weeks time (well just less than that
now).
Hope you're all enjoying your running.

It'd be nice to run with you Doug, but I think my next visit to the continent will be in Toronto.

I had been awakened at 2am early that week with a horrendous knee ache.
Started "come-back" Friday of the April 22 week, and felt fine, no knee pain
while running, but it's been bothering me quite a bit otherwise. Now I don't
know when, or whether, I will resume running. I won't have anything to report
here; maybe lurkers out there have looked at mine and been able to say, "I'm
not much of a runner, but I'm sure better than this guy!" Well, sorry, you're
on your own now.
Same knee (right) kept me mostly out of running from fall 2000 to fall 2001.
Got orthoscoped summer 2001, and started running very gradually when
the doctor said I could start again, but it was like run 1K, repeat it a day
later, until it wouldn't hurt afterwards, then 2k each day until that stopped
hurting. Never did get back to the 30~70K weeks I had been doing before
that day in September 2000, mostly just 10~30K per week ever since.
I've had knee problems off and on. Mostly right knee, I think, but my left
knee locked up on me once in 1981 less than 10 miles into what was intended
as my long run before the Deseret News marathon in Salt Lake City. It
"unlocked" the same day, and I was able to do the marathon, after a fashion.
When I was 15 (1950~51) I was hiking along a high stream bank and came to a
place where a rivulet had cut a deep gash in the bank, maybe five or six feet
across. I decided to try to jump it, but chickened out just before take-off
and went for a belly landing on the other side, and one of my lower legs
snapped forward a bit at the knee. Later at basketball practice we had to run
around the inside of the gym 50 times and I ended up in enough pain to go to
the doctor. All I can remember of the visit is him telling me that the knee
might bother me the rest of my life.
But I can't remember which knee it was.

Sam was returning from therapy for his hand when he ran off the road
in rainy weather hitting 3 trees - breaking his back fracturing 6
ribs, collapsing his lungs, almost tearing off a foot, and on and on.
It happened near Sonny's place Monday, and neighbors saw the accident
at 4 in the afternoon. Paramedics didn't think he would survive the
air evac to Tyler much less the night, but he did. He has had one
surgery last yesterday and is scheduled for another right now. I spoke
to Catherine and She held the phone next to his ear and I spoke to him
briefly and he nodded. So he is alert. He was to take his Captain's
exam for the Coast Guard soon. Will let you know how things go. Love
you, Mom
