I think running Hyland and Leb Hills will be enough to get me to the top of Summitt Ave in October.<BR/><BR/>Is the LTF 10K certified? I highly doubt USATF-MN would recognize those performances, no matter how impressive.Chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08412073727859282887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11188695.post-46158742410444211652008-07-18T19:29:00.000-05:002008-07-18T19:29:00.000-05:00Another thought about the Life Time triathlon. I ...Another thought about the Life Time triathlon. I think the pro men's run leg will end up being the among the fastest road 10ks in the state this year. The top 3 men ran under 31 minutes, and 9 of the top 10 were under 32 minutes. Compare to the Get in Gear with 2 men under 31 and 6 under 32 (it was a tough day though). On the women's side, Emma Snowsill ran 33:57, and 4 others were under 37. Run for Oromia and Heart of Summer will surely be faster. I wonder if USATF Minnesota recognizes a 10k in a triathlon?Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15251846875067789996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11188695.post-62954996197182476462008-07-17T22:12:00.000-05:002008-07-17T22:12:00.000-05:00To get some good explosive work right in your trai...To get some good explosive work right in your training area, hit the Hyland ski hills! A couple workouts that I've liked are repeats up the dirt road right next to the ski jump, back down East Bush Lake road easy, and repeats on the southernmost ski hill, taking the trail in the back around easy. The ski jump should take you a little over a minute starting from the landing area, and the ski hill should be a little under a minute if you start from the concrete disc golf pad. Of course there are many other options, but these have worked for me.<BR/><BR/>I was pretty geeked to see Kristen Nicolini-Lehmkuhle doing the Life Time triathlon. If she decides to stick with it a little, she could rapidly be up with the elite in the sport.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15251846875067789996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11188695.post-3690800814203662712008-07-16T04:10:00.000-05:002008-07-16T04:10:00.000-05:00Your fitness is really improving, Chad.

I find being better rested allows me to keep my training paces up which is hard to do during the summer months.<BR/><BR/>I've been doing my 6 mile easy/recovery runs at 8 min. mile pace and my other runs between 7 & 7:30 pace. My weekly mileage isn't as high as yours yet, and I really don't get into hills & speed work until I'm closer time wise to my fall marathon. I'm feeling optimistic about my chances for a big break through this fall and you should be too!<BR/><BR/>Keep up the good running. Keep your paces brisk and keep it interesting. I'm looking forward to some good races from you this fall!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Take care,<BR/><BR/>Mark from New EnglandAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
