  • Week 1 Wrap Up 19-Feb-25

    tim

    Not sure If I will get to update this every week but I will try.
    This week kicked off my 25 week training plan leading up to Eastern States 100 in August.  I attempted this race in Aug 2014, the inaugural year of the race on got pulled at the 100k aid station.  I’m back this year, hopefully a little smarter, definitely will more experience & I hope a better training plan on-tap.

    This plan calls for the completion of 1,200 miles in the 24 weeks leading up to the race.  So far the start is a little slow as I am nursing a little over-use foot injury cause from Light2Light50 a few weeks ago.  However I am confident that this will not set me back and I have ample time to get the miles in I need.

    This week as messed up from the start but I did get a Sat. long run in & If I have learned anything is that it’s time on your feet over miles completed that counts.

    Plan Called for 35, I completed 25 with 2,300ft of elevation climb.

  • REBOOT !

    tim

    So here we are again!  This space on the web is a “Reboot” of the old NCUltraRunner.com website.  Unfortunately I lost the original source for that website so i am piecing together what I can in the terms of prior race experience from places like “The Internet Archive” (https://archive.org/web/) and any notes I can find.  Note: Prior Race experience will be a heavy work in progress.  I plan on logging as much details as I can through Eastern States 100.  After that I will have to revisit my commitment and see where where my passion lies.

  • Wed Lunch Tire Workout

    admin

    Making the decision to skip leg day in the gym due to my next race, Bad Marsh 50K, this Saturday I figured I needed to get in some additional leg work out so on a

    90° day at 50% Humidity while pulling a tire I am Putting the “If it does not kill ya, it makes ya stronger” saying to the test.  It was hot and decided to pull the tire through the little hills around work today, really trying to fatigue my legs and cause the muscle spasms to appear as they did yesterday after my run.  Interestingly enough that did not happen.  However here are the list of changes from Yesterday to today.

    1)      Took in 16 oz of water + 1 Lemonade Nuun Tab at breakfast

    2)      Ate breakfast with lots of Garlic Salt, 2c Coffee

    3)      Took in 16 oz of water + 1 Lemonade Nuun Tab during training.

    4)      Took in less than 16 of water + 1 Lemonaid Nuun Tab

    5)      Ate a good lunch (1 hamburger patty, 1 Chicken leg / thigh, 1 mixed salad with oil & Vin)

    6)      Drank 1 Red Bull + 1 c Coffee

     

    I’m a little tired (4:10 PM) and feel a bit dehydrated but no spasms at all.

  • Tribe Tuesday / Tire Tuesday

    It was pouring down some of the BIGGEST rain drops I have ever seen but Tribe Tuesday was still going to happen.  Today we had several people show up despite the weather and had a great run.  I had made the decision earlier in the week that I was going to pull the tire for the 1st two miles and then see how I felt.

     

     

     

     

     

    20140617I don’t know if it was the rain making it easier to pull the tire of if it was the drop in temps but I really had a hard time keeping my times down around 9min/m while pulling the tire and afterwards I felt so good that I decided to run an additional four miles and ended up negative splitting each of them.
