AM – jogged some with TZ and then made my way over to the BHS track. Did 10 x 300m, 200m recovery, with the 300s at slightly faster than current 5k pace and the recovery as slow as I wanted them to be (fwiw, this was pretty close to a minute on, minute off). 12 miles.
91 miles on the week, 13.5 hours. 27 miles on May, 1377 on the year and 197.25 hours on the year. Decent week, as I got two days of fair vertical (excess of 2500), and got a little turn over today. Need to keep that sort of mix in there and also build into the longer (3 plus hour) run.
Tons of results to dig into (or not, if they are not posted yet). But it is Sunday, so I have work to do first. Definitely a very interesting story with Solinsky taking down the 10k AR. All the attention was on Rupp, who changed race locations late to assure the best conditions to set up for an AR run. He got the AR, but Solinsky ran for the win, got it, the AR and is now the fastest non African at the distance ever.
Plus he wears knee high compression socks that are WHITE.
Add in Miwok, CP, and the IM action … good stuff. Some people had great weekends. Some folks did not. But all that is why we run the race … some Miwok video:
I wonder if Chris is also the biggest guy to ever run under 27? The guy looks huge... in the pic of him hugging Chelanga it looks like he's holding a child. Nice pacing too with a solid negative split.
ReplyDeleteCheck out this video ... it is an interview with his training partner Simon Bairu and Chris comes jogging up in it about halfway through. They joke about Chris's size, how the Kenyans are going to be pissed that a fattie ran sub 27.

That's the fastest pit stop! This is becoming a good race season! Fast times and broken arm's! It's all in fun Karl!

ReplyDeleteI thinks that's even bigger than Dave Mackey who almost made MC crap his pants a few years ago.
Dave Mackey is much rounder.
