So my final training run before Boston here in Bucks County, PA is done. We soon leave for Bean-town and the big race! I believe I have done all I can to train for this. My coach, Dr. Jason Karp, put together a good plan and I believe I did a good job executing that […]

23 Miles in the Cold Rain on the Hills of Tyler State Park Never Felt So Good!
OK, so here I am writing this post again. Somehow all the text vanished and I was left with just the photos on this post. I will do my best to recreate my post from this morning. Today’s run starting at 6:00am when it was still dark. It was cold, rainy and […]

Boston Training – New Coach, New Plan .. So Far So Good!
So starting with New Year’s Day I have a new coach and a new training plan for Boston. The reasons for the change were fairly simply. For one, I simply felt like I needed a change. Secondly, Johnny Marino Advanced Sports Chiropractic while an awesome coach, is going through so much, including recovering from surgery […]

Boston Training Week One!
Week one had it all. It started with snow and brutally cold temperatures and ended with temperatures well over 60F. I had to decide on a new training plan and ended up asking Dr. Johnny Marino to help me once again. Johnny has been going through so much recently that I wasn’t sure he would […]
An Early Morning Relaxed 11 Miles – Getting Close Now
http://connect.garmin.com/dashboard?cid=18305526 Today Coach Marino had me run a 80 minute run. He had worked on my hamstring yesterday and today it felt much better. I felt a little something but I think that was just soreness from the graston technique he perform on my hamstring. I had to get the run in early today so […]
Heat Acclimation Run!
For today’s run Coach Johnny had on the schedule an 8 mile run. I ran this at lunch to take advantage of the 90F heat. I have been making sure that I am hydrating and using electrolyte supplements as well. This seems to be working. Also being the middle of the day I made […]
A Solid Week of Training
I cut back on the blogging a bit this week as the week was busy. This still was a very good week of training with 3 harder efforts. Monday was a double but it was a recovery day with 45 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the evening. Tuesday was 3 […]
What a Difference 4 Days Makes! This time COLD and WINDY on the Track!

This morning it was in the 40’s with gusty winds. of course Tuesday was LONG intervals and today was shorter faster intervals right into the […]

Twice the Run, Twice the Fun??
So today Coach Johnny (www.jkmhealth.com https://www.facebook.com/Adv.Sports.Chiro) had me start doubling. The morning run was an very very easy run with no calories beforehand. Only a little bit of coffee and water. It is tough to go as slow as Johnny wants but I am following the plan. The concept is to use this run to teach […]
