Looking forward to the 50 Miler

The club had a couple of runners run in the Flying Pig Marathon, congratulations to them both as one ran a 2:50 and Jason, who ran his 3rd marathon in 20 days, ran a 2:47.

Shout out to Tyler who also ran his 3rd marathon in 20 days, pacing the 3:30 group.  He is pacing another marathon in 2 weeks. 

Nick, Jason, and Tyler will be running the North Country 50 miler on Aug. 24th.  We soon will begin our training for that, mostly by concentrating on back to back long runs on the weekends, 20-30 miles on Saturdays and coming back with 15-22 miles on Sundays. 

Post Boston, Pre Flying Pig

Matt and Nick were not able to run so Tyler and Jason were the only two to compete for the club. Tyler ran a great race, finishing in 2:50, a new PR for him by over ten minutes. He ran a smart race as well with extremely consistent splits. Jason on the other hand had an ambitious goal of breaking 2:38 and he ran a gutsy race to try to accomplish that. His first half marathon split was a 1:18:41, but he wasn't able to maintain that pace and ended up finishing in 2:48, six minutes behind his current PR but still a solid time for him overall.

The flying Pig is this sunday and we have a couple of runners competing in that, so stay tune for that recap.
