May 6th Maryland Twilight Track meet

Any takers? cost is 20 dollars for unlimited events. i was asked to rabbit the 5,000 but depending on what the proposed pace is, I may try to drop off the front and hang on after 3k... It would be nice to see some GRCers out there...plus it is an opportunity to run under the lights = fast times! Apparently there are several guys going after it in the 5000 (as it is a last chance meet for regionals). I assume the 1500 will be competitive as well. Send me an email at jwiegner1@hotmail.com by monday 5/3/10. Include Name, Event and Seed Time. I will give list to Danielle on Monday evening.

Wednesday Workout @ BCC

Hey guys... I am planning on 3 mile progression to 10 mile race pace on the CCT- warm up from BCC. I want to be at tempo effort through mile 1. Mile 2 and 3 jump down to 10mile goal pace. I would like to follow this up with 4 x 30 seconds moderately hard w/ 1 minute recovery.

CHURCH

Jake, great race. You are doing amazing things despite not doing yoga, not stretching and drinking huge quantities of alchohol.

You have one mission, from my perspective and that is to defeat Aaron Church. He has been racing in this area almost as long as Jim Hage and thus, his legs must be mush.

Maybe if you stretch, do hot yoga and eat organic, you can catch him..................

Love Max

Minor Technical Difficulties

I didn't race this weekend at Shippensburg because I fell while running and busted up my knees, hip, and chest. I had to have x-rays on my chest (I am a skinny guy after all) but after a few more days off my feet I should be able to jog by wednesday. I am still planning on racing May 8th, so I may do a race simulation on saturday May 1st if anyone is interested in helping out. This development has me looking for more meets later in the year as well to quench my thirst for track that I am missing out on right now.

BREAKING:

GRC runners storm down Rockville Pike.

Wiggy continues his comeback with a 31:55.

Klim nets another PR with a 30:56 for 20th. Officials demand EPO test. "I've never seen someone net so many PRs in a season. He doesn't even stretch, much less do yoga," says anonymous masters runner in red shorts.

UPDATE - There will be a post-race celebration* at Hank Dietle's at 3pm for anyone who might be interested. They have cheap pitchers, cheese curls, bar stools and a pool table. Wiggy and Klim will be there at 2:59pm.

Difficult Run

For anyone not watching a bunch of the GRC studs at Pikes Peek 10k up in Rockville (7:50 AM race start) I propose a trip to Difficult Run, I only have about 4 weeks left in the DC area so I want to get there at least once. Comment if you have an alternate suggestion or an intention to attend, 9:00 AM? -Dylan

The Chicago Plan


There is a tab under the spreadsheet called "Chicago" that lays out a 20 week plan for the marathon on October 10.

Please take a look at this first draft. It still needs some work but we are getting there.

We used a basic plan I developed along with a calendar Dickson etched out...then Wiggy, Murphy and I tried to combine the two. We focused on workouts and not mileage totals (except during the workout days). We also plotted in places where we thought these workouts would be ideal.

That last 6 weeks was tough to plan per PDR - which some of us will be running and others not. What say you Reaves, Karl etc?

MODELS NEEDED

I am looking for some hot models to strut their stuff for a RunCo apparel ad. You get some free apparel and get to be seen by DC's best and brightest. NOTE: I need men and women to wear spring and summer apparel. In all seriousness, if interested and willing, please send me an email.

Please let me know in the next few days.

love Max

CHEVY CHASE AND PUMA

Guys and Gals, the Chevy Chase run is at 830am on Sat. Max Smith, a sub four minute miler and Puma employee is coming to lead the run and talk about the latest and in Puma footwear. there will be a raffle and other goodies and such including bagels and coffee and running community love.

830 is the start time rather than 9am so please take note.

Hope to see all of you out there.

Max

Saturday at Chevy Chase

Due to a Puma affair, we're going to run from the Chevy Chase Store on Saturday morning (9am).

I know it is early, but would folks be interested in etching out a 20-week training plan for Chicago post-run at Panera Bread (next to Store)? I have a calendar and I've spoken with a number of Windy City bound marathoners (Dickson, Karl et al) about producing a rough training plan...specifically the weekend long runs/workouts schedule.

Looking for roommate in 2 bedroom - 17th & U St NW

Hi All,

I'm looking for a roommate to move into a SPACIOUS 2 BR apt on U St on June 1 (my current roommate is moving out of town). It's an English basement on U St near 17th between Dupont Circle, the U St. Corridor, and Adams Morgan, and less than a mile from Rock Creek Park (to entrances: P St AND Connecticut Ave/Calvert St bridges). I have lived here since March 2009 and the lease is month-to-month.

The available bedroom is well light with two windows and a paned door that leads to the back alley. There's also a good sized closet with shelves (AMPLE space for running shoes). We would share a bathroom.

It's in a great location; a 10-15 min walk to TWO metro stations: U St. and Dupont Circle, and bus stops all around. Safeway and Harris Teeter are both a 7 min walk from the apartment and plenty of restaurants, bars, and shopping are nearby.

Rent is $875/month + utilities.
E-mail me, Lindsey, at: ljerdonek (at) gmail dot com

tranquility CAN be yours. any leads of potential roommates would be appreciated as well. thanks!

Run Like You Can't Fail

Check out what Ryan Hall posted a week out from Boston. Pretty epic stuff.

Run Like You Can’t Fail

by ryanhall | Apr 13, 2010 | 234 views

With one week to go before Marathon Monday the challenging aspects of training shift from the physical to the mental. Anyone who has run a marathon knows how long (mentally) that last week can be. All the physical training is done. The only physical benefits to be gained come from resting and eating well over the next week. Crushing last minute workouts has no place in these final days. However, there is still time to prepare the heart.

As Sara and I were sitting and chatting before my last 90 minute run yesterday (Monday) morning we were talking about the heart that I want to have during my race. A heart that is free from all worries, completely trusting God’s goodness, connected to Him. Sara reminded me of another good word we received months earlier: “run the race like you can’t fail.” I knew as soon as the words trickled from her mouth they were exactly what I needed for this moment.

So often there is the temptation to over think race strategy. We want to have an exact race plan that will be carried out exactly how we have visualized it. It’s not that planning is bad, one should be prepared for whatever lies ahead, however there comes a point where we are over analysing and putting more confidence in having to execute the perfect race strategy then trusting in our ability to respond to whatever is thrown our way. Freedom, in terms of a free-flowing race strategy, can be scary. It’s scary because we have to let go of control. However, the benefits of freedom are great. It allows flexibility, an open mind, an open vision, an open heart to whatever the day may hold. It gives us the opportunity to receive the moment to the fullest whether or not it is the perfect race day or pouring rain. I encourage you to let go and run free and run like you can’t fail!

WHAT HAPPENED TO

JaKe Marren at Boston? Did he die or get carted off the course? I know he was all prepped for this race so I want the scoop. I went to his blog site but all it says is .......................................

Falmouth Entries Online Today

Lets get a group up to the Cape again for this truly great race...Entries on line now. PS-Thanks to all for good wishes in Boston, Matt.

LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO TRAIN TO GO THE OLYMPICS

We can make/rebuild you into a running machine.

If anyone knows of a young soul looking to try and make the Olympics in a distance of 5K and up, let me know.

The person needs to be serious and willing to work with a team of experts including the following:

Coach
Nutritionist
Massage Therapist
Personal Trainer
Physical Therapist

this person will receive these services as well as some shoes and equipment and more at no cost.

they need to be committed and willing to work with the team until the trials and possibly beyond.

Obviously this is not for most but in case some lurker on the blog knows of that diamond in the rough, so to speak. Let me know.

This can be a wonderful opportunity for a person at the right stage of life for such and endeavor.

Seize the moment

MEB

Who's picking who for Boston? Though Meb's knee is a bit tweaked, running through pain at their level is the nature of the business. Meb wins and Hall comes in #3.

SIDE NOTE: Jarrin makes history running 2:40 while swearing the entire time.

Ernst breaks PR, retires from running and commits to opening a brewery.

Other predictions?

Weekend Runs

I am running 5 x mile from the Store along the Towpath on Saturday with Karl...anyone else interested?

We could always do The Line on Sunday, unless someone has a better idea? I am open to whatever.

ARTICLE

I need someone to write an article about the race team. Something that mixes all of the ingrediants together as to its benefits, goals and so on. A picture or two works

I vote for the line on Sunday at 9am.

Went running with some guys today who think the whole GRC team is on EPO. Oooooops. LetsRun redone

drama and action second to none.

serious about the article though. Let me know.

FLASH: Wiggy Sets Record @ Firebirds Mile

Unofficial Results: Wiggy - 4:22, Klim - 4:25

Both were "controlled" efforts.

Karl took Wiggy out in 2:09ish, I followed in 2:11ish.

Karl stepped off the track at 800m.

Our plan to run 10:00 for 2 miles after turned out to be a bad idea and we ditched it after mile (Klim) and 1.5 miles (Wiggy)

Cherry Blossom extras

A few extras that didn't make it into the official race video





PHOTOGRAPHER NEEDED

I need someone who is better at photos than towpath(he is unable) to come to the Georgetown store tomorrow and shoot some pictures of Wilson and Co working with customers. This is for some marketing we are doing. This is important so if you are able and willing and have some skill, your service to the RunCo will forever be remembered.

If you are such an individual email me at Max.Lockwood@gmail.com.

TOWPATH

I need you to call the Chevy store

RACE TEAM RACE

As you know, The Father's Day 8k is the race being used to raise some money for the race team. Jay Wind has collected the permit, is timing the race and doing quite a bit of promotion. This is/was not really to be his job. However, due to circumstances he is now doing these tasks.

Bottom line is the more people you get to sign up and the less we/you rely on others, the more money the race team makes for its own use.

I am not privy to how the dollars are to be broken out but its best to start marketing and getting people to register.

Get to the local run clubs and hand out fliers at local races and hit the pavement in all directions in order to secure top billing is my humble advice.

Over and out

GRC Club Records

Awhile back Karl and I were wondering what the all time best GRC times were...so I started to do some research. You can now see the UPDATED club records as a tab under our results spreadsheet.

Now, let's break 'em.

If there are any corrections/questions, please email me.

Anyone for a track workout Wednesday?

I was thinking of 5-6 x mile at B-CC, between 5:10-5:15 pace. Respond by 5 pm Wednesday if there's any interest, otherwise I'll be doing it on a road loop in Falls Church.

NEW SHERIFF, MAYBE?

I noticed that Potomac River Running won the Cherry Blossom team challenge. I am a bit surprised. I did not think they were gathering forces in order to mount a serious attack. I was wrong.



They now seem to be capturing runners from different areas. Chris Sloan and others, maybe.......oooops.



All kidding aside, when is the next team challenge and what, if anything is needed from a Company/sponsorship standpoint to continue to entice runners to come our way?

MCRRC Firebirds Mile

The Firebirds Mile @ Gaithersburg high school is this wednesday April 14th. I have been going back and forth on whether or not to stick to the plan of using this race just as a hard workout (being that the mile will be a hard effort, followed by a 2-3 mile @ 10mile race pace). I finally decided yesterday that I am going to stick to my plan (prior to getting sick last week). If anyone wants to make a workout out of this event, there will be company in Klim, Karl and myself.
Information is at the following link www.mcrrc.org/races/firebirdsmile

Track Tuesday/ Wednesday?

Hey guys, anyone (non-cherry blossomers) interested in track (miles, ladder?) or tempo/minutes on CC-trail tuesday night? Anyone for wednesday? I'd be up for any (longer) workout.

Cherry Blossom 2010 Video

CB LOGISTICS

The race starts at 7:40am and it's a madhouse getting down there. I plan to arrive between 6-6:30am and start my warm-up no later than 6:45am. Anyone who wants to meet to warm-up should meet me at the start line at that time. I feel that you can't get to this race too early.

6:45-7:15 warm-up (only 20 mins or so, but a 10 min buffer)
7:15-7:30 bathroom/stretch
7:30 head to starting line

Will anyone be hanging out at the start/finish line who is not running who might be able to take warm-ups?

Update: Meet here post race for team photo.

New Balance

From Jessica (at the Georgetown Store):

On Saturday April 10th, there will be a New Balance rep at the Georgetown Store in the morning and he will bring shoes for everyone to try on their run risk free. Arrive a little early to be fitted.

There will be giveaways for all the runners that participate and a raffle for a free pair of shoes following the run, plus food and drinks.

I will be running an EASY 5-6 miles from the Store that morning before heading to the expo to pick up my CUCB number.

Boston Marathon Pacing & Info

Two weeks from now some of us will be in post-Boston Marathon leg trauma. The downhill nature of the course puts a serious hurt on the quads.

I'll be joining big brother Dave Orton, who's Project BQ earned him a spot down at Virginia Beach last year. Dave's been kind enough to share a neat little spreadsheet to help strategize the race down to each mile.

Back in Gear

I'm really starting to feel sharp again, and I set a goal for May 8th at Lock Haven since it is an evening meet late in the season, but before that I am going to need to tune up in an actual race. Does anyone know when and where I can race locally in the 800? I would like to race twice before hand.

Wednesday Workout

After a two week hiatus, I'll be at B-CC on Wednesday for a light workout. Traditionally before Cherry Blossom (or Army Ten Miler) I run 2.5 miles at goal pace down the CCT. I treat it like the first 2.5 miles of the race. If anyone wants to join, let me know. I am shooting for 5:04-5:05s. CONTROLLED!

I will warm up from the track to CCT, then starts south of the Little Falls Pkwy intersection. On the way back, we can cooldown in the Kenwood section of the trail and see Chevy Chase's version of the cherry blossoms.

DIFFICULT RUN

Does anyone want to venture to Difficult Run on Sunday for a long run? The weather is beautiful and greenery and lushness out that way should be second to none. Need to get the run in early.

Weekend Runs


Since I'll be busy hunting for Easter Eggs on Sunday morning, I'm going to try to do my long run on Saturday, and a regular run from The Line on Sunday afternoon. Is anyone interested in joining me later on Sunday? I'm flexible about the time.
