Hopefully you get great conditions at grandma's it is a GREAT course as long as the weather is good, and it generally is. If you are in the same shape you'll kill it.<br />Natenateruns@hotmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851427962048556845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2274438111706927359.post-68274427855615216012016-01-28T13:15:40.749-08:002016-01-28T13:15:40.749-08:00I Nate, I wrote you last year in an attempt to do ...I Nate, I wrote you last year in an attempt to do a long run last March on the Boston course. You were racing a HM if I remember...I was in Boston last spring and was in the same pack as you for quite a while. Finally finished in 23rd place in 2:21:16 (goal was to go sub 2:20 but conditions, as you know, didn't allow to go fast).<br /><br />Anyway, I am doing Grandma's this spring, you should definitely think about it! I'm gonna give a shot at around 5:15 pace. Always nice to read you.

I know you've included, and discussed, many of the elements in your past training logs(Aussie quarters, Mona fartleks, etc.) but it'd be great to have a post dedicated to the subject. <br /><br />Also, it's great to have you posting again. <br /><br />Thanks, RHRich Heffronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08499916562429040312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2274438111706927359.post-10197804114555437672016-01-15T09:19:03.021-08:002016-01-15T09:19:03.021-08:00I like the schedule in the summer for training but...I like the schedule in the summer for training but in terms of a fall marathon I would still being doing the hardest stuff in during the school year unless it was a very early fall race. Also in the summer it is hot and doing hard long workouts in the heat is very tough. It is one thing to do 12x400m in heat and humidity. It is a whole different ballgame to try and do 6x5k in the same.<br /> I guess they both have challanges and advantages. I don't really prefer one or the other. <br /><br />Jim- If Loon has big checks I may have to give it another go.<br />Natenateruns@hotmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851427962048556845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2274438111706927359.post-10718135482019778402016-01-15T09:07:44.776-08:002016-01-15T09:07:44.776-08:00Nate, glad to hear the training is going well and ...Nate, glad to hear the training is going well and sounds like some great goals for the year! Question- would a fall marathon be easier to train for given your teaching schedule? I'm in the same boat of living in Northeast US and teaching and it's been so much easier getting in the training and doubles over the summer. But, based on last winter's training, it seems that you find a way to get it done regardless of the schedule and the weatherAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01351891168039483703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2274438111706927359.post-64045988594691427052016-01-15T04:44:02.154-08:002016-01-15T04:44:02.154-08:00Haha you got me!.

I was going to throw in the obligatory Washington or Loon reference (Loon being the US Champs again this year) as something you can push for...I do believe there are some oversized checks after Loon maybe...I'll have to confirm. ;). I also noticed the lack of snowshoe races on your goal list. That bodes well for me. Good goals though Nate. I hope 2016 works out for you just as you envision it can. Staying healthy is key #1.
