That will be me tomorrow on the AT in NY though slightly slower and with a slightly larger pack. Plan to miss the puddles a bit more then the did in the video.

And I believe there was a thread on this video a while back; it's of a ranger that ran thru GSMNP http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiEGWvAT_ZU
I came across this blog on running site and it struck a cord with me, since this year has been tough on me with respect to injuries, most of which are self-induced from stupidity and stubbornness. I think I've finally made a change in my workouts and that's how I mainly connected with this author (who's an Ultra-trail runner); I wish I would've read it earlier, maybe I would already be injury free now.

I'm a big fan of acceptance, because in the end you'll have to except it anyway one way or another, so get busy living.Quote:

However, one guy did pretty good in the marathon.
Another cool documentary on the 2005 Chicago marathon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7jNLVszR2A
Tomorrow is the NYC marathon, so I was looking at various videos as a review of previous races and last year's winners, but then I came across this one that focuses on strides. Really interesting and it talks a little about heel strikes, which we all got a little too obsessed with a few years ago, especially me:o, after that book came out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFxPlUKrZPQ
I'm not a trail runner but that video was entertaining, nicely made.
Entertaining. Having a running partner that looks like that and is obviously strong mentally, while wearing those sexy tights, gets me excited to, umm, run too. :D
I like First Ascent vids too. Music is key.
That video just shows that trail runner don't stop and smell the roses. I have really enjoyed trail running, sorta of hiking with a bit too much caffeine.
... and minus the pack and poles.Quote:
