10 miler to start my morning off. Been running on these loops for almost 20 years. I remember back in 2003 I was making a comeback after taking a break, at this point I hadn’t done anything since high school, I was 20 years old. I was trying to get back into school and get a scholarship. I was running here at night and I was just talking to myself, how I wanted to continue on with my running and I know I can be good at it, my times were modest 14:27 5k and 30:30 10k. January 2004 I got into the NAIA Division and that’s when life changed. 13:34 5k Pb at Mt Sac April 2006 and 10k Pb 28:25 in Oregon....Winning national championships in the division and then getting an American record and running a 2:12:27 Debut marathon the same year. When you think you are out of the game, hold on a little more, you never know what is right around the corner.

such a beast.

24 hours here now in #Warsaw. Reflecting how fortunate I am to be in my position. I was born into a situation that many do not succeed from, born and raised my first part of my childhood in southeast #Fresno, CA. Raised off the government, section 8 housing, welfare, wic the whole 9 yards. Father a heroin addict in and out of prison for over 20 years and continuing on this minute. The people I admired and looked up to where not the typical productive citizens of society....I was heading down the wrong path. Even though my mother had a 9th grade education, she still did what she could and moved me to a better part of our city (Clovis, CA), a place where I can grow up in peace. Nothing was handed to me and I still struggled growing up, but I worked really hard in my running and never gave up. I would not be the fastest at all in my school until 16 years old. By the time I was 24 years old I started to be noticed by the running world. 12 years later I am still traveling the world and doing what I love, racing. I have ran for 26 years and even though I am not rich monetary wise, I have fulfilled my dream by traveling the world and racing for a living. Making life long friends everywhere I go ❤️❤️❤️. Whatever is in your heart, it can come true. Keep grinding. Get what you know you are worth. Don’t ever let anyone label you. You can do it. With ❤️from 🇵🇱. .

he's interesting.. it's like he went straight from H.S. into the pros, skipping college etc, to try and make it/make money etc. I mean his stats are insane and he didn't run in college (i don't think).

insane stats. he's an anomaly?

Badass runner I found on strava who seems to just rock up to marathons and try to hold on to the Olympic Trial qualifying pace (<2:19 or ~5:18/mile) for as long as he can.

First half in 1:05:55, finish in 2:38 lol:

Held it for like 20.5 miles here before starting to fall apart:

And here for like a bit more:

Under a minute away from qualifying! What a badass approach

incredible find. this is my kind of dude. that's basically what I plan on doing.. amazing.

this whole blog is fucking amazing. Fast dude (2:14:56 marathon, 64 half, sub 30 10k and sub 14 5k) with loads of detail in loads of areas. Giving me lots of ideas for sessions going forward, now that I'm gonna be incorporating more of that!

Edit: and one of his favourite workouts (for basically any distance, from 3k up to marathon) is very similar to the session Matt Centrowitz posted the other day: 8x400m w/ 200m rest, where the 400s are ~3-5k pace and the 200s recoveries are done at fast training run pace (~85% marathon pace), where Centro did 300/100 at basically those sorts of paces. Might give this a go on Friday?

Interview with him I'll listen to at some point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4dE5qoQWlE

His Strava (he doesn't run so hard nowadays, it seems, but still cool): https://www.strava.com/athletes/678711

I think adarq will be a big fan of this dude for a couple of reasons:

1: in the interview he talks about making it to the US World Championship team despite not being part of like a big training team and not having his own support crew/physio: "a lot of it was just I'm gonna train like and animal and see what happens, and I came out the other side"

2: he's a fan of training the ability to recover while moving at a decent pace (like in the workout above), which I think me and adarq have chatted about.

Happy Thursday everybody. Finally caught up on sleep and regained a bit more confidence after my trip to Poland 🇵🇱 for the #warsawhalf. Excited for this weekend as I will get back to hard training and run some of my last big workouts prior to #LondonMarathon April 22nd. Let’s keep grinding. Let’s give ourselves a chance. Stay in it, never give up! Thanks for the support!

#tbt December 2004 USA Club XC Championships Portland Oregon. I was 22 years old and running with people who I looked up to big time, Jorge Torres, Adam Goucher, Jonathon Riley. I wanted what they had. I would get it too. Your dreams can come true as well, be relentless and never give up. 13 and half years later, still not giving up.

Kevin Castille's race history is awesome.

https://www.athlinks.com/search/unclaimed/?term=kevin%20castille&category=unclaimed

He just keeps getting better with age.. 46 now, dropping a 29:14 10k. unreal.

29:14 10k estimates:

Jon Mott workout

jealous of people who hit 4:4X paces with 180 SPM. I haven't figured out how to do that. My 4:5X SPM is like 190+. lame, need more power/efficiency.

the guy who got 1st OA yesterday .. so much for even pacing. holy shit @ this run.. IMHO, mindblowing. He was like 3:4X pace to start.. how did he recover? wtf?

400m: 60s
800m: 2:13
1k: 2:51
mile: 4:40

https://www.strava.com/activities/1534552785

insanity.

Like I said earlier (I think? or did I say it on FB).. fastest i've ever seen anyone start a mile race, or race period. Looked like he was doing a 100m sprint race.

adarqui · « **Reply #102 on:** April 30, 2018, 02:23:43 pm »

Eric Finan, who i've mentioned in here before several times.. man.. not sure how this guy does it. He hasn't been training hard for a while now, since his CIM marathon (olympic qualifier) .. but somehow he can still drop 1:05:47 in a half? I mean he's mostly been skiing and not training too hard. I just don't get it. lol.

Eric Finan in his HM race comments:

I feel that 8 miles at HM race pace effort about 10-14 days out is a pretty good indicator of what you should be able to do on race day
