@MikeAsti11 You can’t give the other team’s offense 2nd-and-2 all night long (well…second half, anyway) and blame it on your offense.

[John Franchetti @JAFranchetti]

@smithhmackenzie Food quality is much better in (most of) Europe; plus you are always active. It can be easy if you allow it.

@DavidDack No… didn’t get shot. Just a hot and humid half marathon in Morgantown, WV…

[John Franchetti @JAFranchetti]

@DavidDack Crushed myself at the Gettysburg marathon. Probably not in my top 5 “fastest”. However, it was a beautiful (hilly) race thru hollowed grounds. Sometimes the clock doesn’t tell the story.

[John Franchetti @JAFranchetti]

@DavidDack Definitely depends on the distance. For marathon training, it shows up in race pace and “strength” intervals. For half marathon I’d say it shows up more in long runs where I’m practicing a “fast finish” where the last couple of miles get close to race pace.

A beautiful fall morning, a fresh cup of coffee and a full slate of sports.

What a glorious day.

@DavidDack lol…I’ve learned this the hard way. Spending a week walking around Disney (25-30k steps per day) is NOT a “week off”.

@DavidDack x 1,000,000 for cyclists

@Hybridathlete 💯 I love “changing up the dials” every few months to focus on something different (while never abandoning either fully).

[John Franchetti @JAFranchetti]

@RyanHoliday True but I’d even expand this to your immediate family. When everyone is on the same page, you can’t be stopped.

@runliftrunlift 🎯 - particularly the 4th and 5th paragraphs.

[John Franchetti @JAFranchetti]

@DavidDack Because I’m a nerd, I usually mimic a familiar run. For example, I have a 6 mile loop I know very well. High, short incline at mile 1.5. Long, 3%, incline from 2.5 to 3 and so on. Just no downhills.

[John Franchetti @JAFranchetti]

@DavidDack I wouldn’t necessarily say “fitter” but, at 56, still maintaining good fitness. Definitely fresher.

[John Franchetti @JAFranchetti]

@DavidDack At this point…mostly training. I will shoot for 1 “goal” race per year where I will push myself a bit but, at this point, I’m just looking to stay consistent - also why I’ve added more cycling and reduced run volume (with the exception of the “goal” race).

[John Franchetti @JAFranchetti]

@DavidDack Yeah, I think because it’s longer than a 5k, you lose people there (too long) yet because it’s not as revered as 13.1 or 26.2, it gets brushed off by others (too short). I agree with you…hits that sweet spot.
