I ran the Toronto Marathon yesterday and found the drivers patient. I heard no horns and the only yelling I heard was a jackass bonked marathoner yelling at a cyclist for being on the Lakeshore path.

A 7:30 start for the Toronto Marathon this time around on Saturday.

I think the grid is wrong: the elevation at the start is around 180-185m of elevation and ends at about 75m of elevation (according to gmaps), so the numbers on the left are right, but the increments for each grid are uneven. Thanks. I concur, after posting the best info I could find suggested 182m...

See the grid at the bottom - is the scale really skewed so that the Y-axis increments can be 5 or 25 metres or is the top of the course actually 200 and no 180 metres above sea level? http://www.torontomarathon.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Goodlife_TO_Marathon_R.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href...

During the short time he was within sight, I saw a marshall send him down the wrong route as well. The PB time includes that wasted U-turn.

Update on me since a few of you saw me suck out and withdraw at 4K. I was babying my left foot that I was making worse with the quick pace. Worked out well - no damage and I was able to run for three hours today on soft muddy trails that are more appropriate for it. With some Physio and soft surface...

Nice to see you Anne and Rob! Sorry to miss you Robin and gnu!

Congrats to Rob on his PB and tailgating skillz.

...10 days out from Boston so wondering what I was thinking :) If you are running around Marathon Pace rather than all out to prep for Boston, I will likely be doing the same. I figure around 1:45:00 for me. I had dreams of a repeat of three PBs from ATB, Marden Half and Toronto Marathon from last ...

Really, absolutely none?

I'll be sure to introduce myself, Robin, as we will see each other daily mid-August.

Good luck Doc!

So Robin, gnu, Robbie, Anne, all still in for this one? I will see you there.

I'm a onetime duathlete who subsequently learned to swim. I laughed out loud.

I chuckled too.

I tried to get passable at swimming and really stink at it. So I have done a few duathlons.

Anyone else agree that the changes they made in the first half made it tougher overall? Into the wind 3K to 10K and then also 11K to 17K I found I had to draft off big dudes in big clothes to avoid the wind when it picked up. It seemed to work well though they could me shadow running beside them on...

I haven't done this race in a few years. Any recommendations for where to park and how early to get down there? Looks like the weather will be reasonably nice, but can be an issue with it apparently warming up quite a bit during the day. Have to figure how to dress. Thinking a short sleeve shirt un...

Sandbagger. Your wheels are legendary!

...I've been very careful not to put stress on the band when taking off and putting on the watch. If I see that the plastic holding the band is starting to wear out, I'll probably reinforce it with Goop (my favourite adhesive). Good call on the stress. I realized as soon as it broke apart what did ...

Hi, I have registered for : 1. 30K Around the bay "Hamilton-Canada" on April 30 and 2. Boston Marathon on April 21 I am looking for advice on how to run these two races ? Thinking to do Around the bay 30K at my marathon pace and race Boston ? Is this OK or is too much that I can't recover...

9 miles is approx. 14.5K - forecasted wind of 14.5 kph.

But why go to the trouble of converting when web sites are perfectly capable of giving forecasts in metric?

I converted because you had no idea.

Eta: Sure is going to feel weird next year, as the race falls on April 3rd in 2015 ..... and, not in the month of March ... : :what: That is strange! Is it because of where Easter falls?

The KOM concept is Strava's only tangible differentiator from many of the other logging sites so I don't really get why anyone would use it if they're not into that element. The competitive part is their "thing", but in general I like their interface, especially the "activity feed&qu...

Got the Timex watch - as good and suitable for my needs as I had hoped. I've had a chance to review both the Timex Marathon and the Garmin 10. The Timex had issues with functonality in the cold. Not good for Canada. The Garmin 10 is an outstanding watch. But the wrist band is too cheap and one can ...
