High school (in San Diego) I ran a 16:40 5k and a 4:33 mile. Have run 11 marathons.
PR - Ogden 2009 - 2:55:10
Haven't done a 5k or 10k or half in a long time. I just enjoy doing my regular daily runs and then hittin' the Marathons. I might slip in some shorter/faster races this year.
Short-Term Running Goals:
Drop some more weight (get down to 150), keep Pr'ing, and try to stay injury free. Get a 2:46:42 or better in a marathon - I wanna beat Lance's PR!!
Get out on more trails around the valley and enjoy the scenery.
Long-Term Running Goals:
Focus on marathons and possibly ultras? Keep healthy and lean.
I will be running it. I saw your post in the discussion forum and did the same thing the other day (look at the slam results) I too was shocked by the discrepancy between the times (vs. ogden) and what Sasha's estimate shows. I'm guessing Sasha is figuring that somebody who is well trained for Des. News should do 3-4 min faster (and most aren't/weren't). I'm trying to figure out some runs to do to help my legs get ready. I might try to do some long runs down Provo canyon (or any long downhill) on Saturdays. If you or anybody else is interested, we could use two cars to make most of our run downhill and then drive back up?
That's a good idea on the canyon runs, but my first opportunity to do that wouldn't be until at least June 28th.
I just looked up Sasha's times for both races over the last 3 yrs. In 07 & 06 he was slower at DesNews by 1-2 minutes. In 05 he was faster at DesNews by about 9 minutes. Maybe the calculator is using an average of his finish times?
