astronomy, photography, marathoner forever...dreaming and training my way to my first BQ.

[Pete @pmumbower]

I am going to train today and each day for the next 19 weeks so I can have the fitness to qualify for Boston. I don't have that fitness currently, so my workout today will not discourage me. #bqchat #marathontraining

@EmilyCWaldon That is bonkers, though I do really enjoy the stadium.

[Pete @pmumbower]

@EmilyCWaldon You got this! I need to do the same.

[Pete @pmumbower]

@AJamesMcCarthy Cannot wait for Mercury to join the scene!

People who laugh at slow runners usually have no idea how hard it is to keep showing up while feeling slow.

That part takes nerve.

@des_linden @karagoucher re:hobbyjogger doping, my 2c that no one cares about: who cares really. Most taking that stuff will never really impact the overall podium or get a OTQ. Seems most are “masters” that cannot give up the competitive edge. I would rather spend on super shoes

if aliens are real why haven't they been to kfc yet?

[Pete @pmumbower]

So the USATF 25k champs fields have been release and meh…not deep, a couple names hobbyjoggers will recognize. Being so close to Boston/London kills this elite field. Thoughts @karagoucher @des_linden ? Honestly, a great chance for up and coming to get their name out there.

@EmilyCWaldon 🙏❤️🙌🏻 so great to hear!

The gym bros lifting in carbon-plated running shoes must be stopped.

@AJamesMcCarthy @astro_reid Have you ever thought about presenting at NEAIC/NEAF? That would be fascinating and a great opportunity!

[Pete @pmumbower]

@UltraRunner26 Kick the tires and lite the fires 👊🏻

[Pete @pmumbower]

@greg16676935420 another cousin?

Vincent Mauri debuts in the marathon and runs his recovery days at 5:40 mile pace.
John Korir is a repeat Boston Marathon Champ and has some recovery days 9:00 mile pace.
The takeaway is that both can be successful and ignore those that try to push one way or another.

@Brady_H Which model is it? I have the Garmin BP monitor, but it seems all over the place at times. Even when I follow their protocol for use.

[Chris Chavez @ChrisChavez]

On Sunday, I was surprised by Vincent Mauri’s 2:05:53 marathon debut at the Glass City Marathon in Toledo. The fastest ever by an American.

Then, we dove into his Strava and I spoke to him about his self-coached training today. I’ve never been more fascinated by someone’s approach.

Some things that stood out…
-5.6 miles at 5:48/mi the day before his marathon
-Ripped a few 200s closing in 26 five days before
- 19 miles at 5:31 seven days out…on the treadmill
-Wasn’t even planning on Toledo until Carmel was canceled
– Does almost all his training in non-carbon-plated shoes

Gosh, the marathon is such a cool event. So may different approaches to run fast.

@stentordoc Look forward to seeing how it goes at Charlevoix. Hopefully a solid redemption from Boston. Side question: do you use bicarb?
