Re: ORW Weather Forecast . . .

Watching the 10k on Rogers. Hope the rain is providing some relief! It's really pouring

Re: ORW Weather Forecast . . .

While I will miss ORW, and pacing, I would be very nervous right now to pace even a slow marathon well

Re: Thursday anyone?

No run, but a strength session with my trainer. I can feel myself improving. Right now we are focusing on range of motion, not really strength. I am learning to do this with my clients.

Well done! Those conditions sound eerily like the ones I ran here in Toronto a few weeks ago. Not particularly fun.

Re: Goodlife Toronto Marathon - BQ or Bust

So awesome! Totally agree with you about the finish. Completely unprepared for the weather. My bag was drenched, the TTC was not operating regularly in the area, and I never did find the supposed race buses. I do love the course though. It's a scenic fast one. It was good to see you!

Re: How Realistic is a Marathon Negative Split?

The last marathon I raced (PEI 2014), I ran a 3 min negative split. And the 2nd half of that course is tougher. Now that I know how good it feels to finish a marathon strong, I never want to go through the slog again. That means I'll always have to set a goal based on my fitness not necessarily my ...

Re: How Realistic is a Marathon Negative Split?

I was astonished by my somewhat negative split last weekend. I did really feel strong the whole way. I have not come close that before.

Re: Rob Watson comes shy of Rio2016 while in London

He ran 2:13 a few years ago, but hasn't come close since. I'm not sure he was made to run 2:12. I agree about his attitude though. I'm hoping he is successful at a different angle like coaching or broadcasting.

Waiting to hear this weeks podcast. I always love it
