    Ethiopian Olympic Marathon Drama and Cocodona 250 has started.

    Ethiopia has a 35k to pick their Olympic marathon on Saturday and on Monday they say “not too fast”. The Cocodona 250 mile starts on Monday and athletes are “surprised” by the heat. Hello it’s Arizona! It’s not just the heat it’s the constant sun exposure. Plus a lot of climbing in the first 50k. https://linktr.ee/AND3RSON

    Birthdays, Empty Nests and Hamlet Again

    Why are birthdays a thing? I prefer Carolla’s Achievement Day instead. On top of birthday musings, add on a dollop of coaching empty nest and the annual start of another trip around the sun is rather dour. But at least the old to run or not to run questions is back especially since I am looking at 4 months of 70 plus mile weeks if I hope to do another Double crossing of the Great Virtual Race Across Tennessee. https://linktr.ee/AND3RSON

    Day 2 of the Great Virtual Race Across Tennessee was a solo one on the bike path with plenty of urban outdoorsmen.  Many athletes would also go out for late afternoon excursions on the roads, squeezing in a few extra easy kilometres. This loose planning was something that really struck us during our time with the group. Their typical schedule included workout sessions on Tuesday (track), Thursday (long run) and Saturday (fartlek/intervals). Many of the athletes are devoutly religious, hence —Sundays are usually taken as a rest day. https://www.sweatelite.co/eliud-kipchoge-recovery/ Shura Kitata & Tigist Girma won this morning's Ethiopian Olympic marathon trials.  Ethiopian Trials Results (Unofficial***):  Women:  1st Tigist Girma 1:59:232th Birhane Dibaba 1:59:453th Rosa Dereje 2:00:164th Zeyneba Yemer 2:03:41 By the men of the men. 1st Shuta Kitata 1:45:552st Lelisa Desisa 1:46:153st Sisay Lemma 1:46:184st Chalu Deso 1:46:33 Early morning 10ks in California have me more awake than coffee!  @NAUTrackFieldXC brought the Fire Abdihamid & Blaise both running well under the Olympic Trials times (27:47 and 27:56)!!! And @Nico__Young__ w/ some phenomenal pacing   Following in the footsteps of Beth Potter, Norway's Karoline Bjerkeli Grovdal ran 14:39 for 5k on the roads in Norway today. That's faster than Beatrice Chepkoech's 14:43 world record, but it doesn't look like Grovdal's time will be ratified as a WR.  Zack Beavin from Lexington Kentucky finished the 43rd annual Strolling Jim 40-Mile Run (41.2 miles)- in 3 hours, 55 minutes, 44 seconds to eclipse Canadian Olympic marathoner Andy Jones' previous record of 3:59:26 on a near-perfect day.  Jones was the only runner to break 4 hours in the 43 years of the race - until today. Jones set his record in 1991. Zack averaged a 5:43 per mile pace over the 41.2 miles of the course, which traverses some of the hillier terrain found in rural middle Tennessee.  The race begins and ends in Wartrace TN, the home of the Tennessee Walking Horse.  Invitational 5,000m at West Coast Relays  7. 15:41.33 Katie Izzo [No. 4 UA] 12. 15:48.38 Lauren Gregory 15. 15:57.66 Logan Morris [PR] 20. 16:05.62 Abby Gray 22. 16:06.83 Devin Clark  Congrats to @taggartvanetten who just broke the 100 mile treadmill world record with 11 hours 32 minutes and 5 seconds, unofficial. https://twitter.com/AndyNoise As of mid-April, Nepal had issued 338 permits for Everest climbers, spread across 36 teams. But more climbers are still arriving, and the count is expected to approach the 2019 record of 382 permits. Including Sherpas and other support staff, Everest Base Camp will grow into a small city of over 700 people in the next few weeks. Meanwhile, China has chosen to extend its 2020 closure and plans to keep the Tibet side of the mountain off-limits to all foreigners this spring. Chinese national teams are allowed, however, and one is already at base camp on the Tibet side. https://www.outsideonline.com/2422460/everest-covid-2021 https://linktr.ee/AND3RSON

    April 30, 2021 / Training Day

    Up late and it’s the weather is heating up! Two workouts and two naps and bed before 9pm because tomorrow I start my second Great Race Across Tennessee.  The goal is a faster RAT and BAT this year in the GVRAT. Need the motivation and hopefully build some fitness if I do 1200 plus miles in 4 months.  https://linktr.ee/AND3RSON
