Elite ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() jfought - 2012-01-08 6:52 AM Thanks, you guys! It was an absolute blast...there were less picture opportunities at the beginning which was kind of sad, but a ton at the castle and I even got a pic with Winnie the Pooh, my favorite and a huge kiss from Minnie. I think she liked my shorts! Before anyone gets the crazy idea that it was a casual stroll, strike that, the last 6 miles were hard like they always are in a marathon, even run walking to mile 24.5. That said, i think the strategy of run walking was solid and my foot is none the worse for wear. I highly recommend the races here, they really do a good job. I was kind of shocked at how little I noticed the ears, except that I got cheers the whole way! Off to eat a Mickey Ice Cream head! SSMinnow - 2012-01-08 9:18 AM 3:40:25!

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() SSMinnow - 2012-01-08 4:08 AM I woke up to Minnie Mouse on my Iphone! Go get 'em Kim! Hope those ears stay on as you blaze through Disney!!! Sh'e right on her 8:11 pace through 10m to deliver a 3:34 marathon, with walking! Most of us dream about being that fast running at 110%. Kim!!! You are adorable and you have GORGEOUS legs!! Way to crush the marathon -- you are so fast, strong, and awesome beyond belief! Here I thought I'd wake up and have to wait awhile for results, but nope! You've wrapped it all up neat and tidy! (That's what I get for being a sleeping-in slacker!) Congratulations on an awesome weekend of running! Hope the heel is holding up OK and you are having a blast. Cannot wait to hear more about everything! YOU ROCK!!! |

![]() | ![]() Way to go that is just Frigging AWESOME...
Being back here on BT and in this mentor group has me stoked to keep at my workouts and get back on track now. It is great to come here and read things like this everyday when I am surrounded by so many negative people at work... You all Rock. |

Champion ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Deb I saw your question on the TM. I really don't find that I have to stop on it periodically, but I do find it hard to get used to after being off it for a long time. I haven't had to use it much this off season because of the stellar weather, but when I ran on it a lot I would vary the speed for my long runs which seemed to help (e.g. 5' at one speed, goose it up for 5', take it down, etc). There is a decent article in Triathlete mag this month that talks about what is happening with your stride on the TM versus outside. Might be worth reading. Suzy

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Following Kim's success with run-walks in the marathon, what do the other marathon runners here feel about a run-walk strategy? I've used them for long runs for a few years and found my race times have improved and injuries have decreased but in the actual race I've just walked the aid stations. In my last HM I had to stop for a prolonged period twice when my knee gave way but still hit my target time (1:49) so it makes me wonder if running non-stop is overrated! |

Member ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() tricrazy - 2012-01-07 9:37 AM Hey all. I have had an interesting 2 weeks. I didn't run at all and then went out still did my 14 miler today. It wasn't pretty the last 2.5 miles but it is done. On a sad note, my cousin buried her 9 year old on Thursday. It was so tragic. They lost a daughter to cancer 4 years ago and are expecting their 8th child in February. If you could all include them in your prayers they could certainly use them. Their last name is Strauss. I really cannot fathom how you breath after losing one child, let alone 2. I am sorrry for your loss. Prayers and sympathy. |

I've used them for long runs for a few years and found my race times have improved and injuries have decreased but in the actual race I've just walked the aid stations. In my last HM I had to stop for a prolonged period twice when my knee gave way but still hit my target time (1:49) so it makes me wonder if running non-stop is overrated! I haven't run a stand alone marathon in a several years, but like you I did walk the aid stations in my IM marathon both times. I think it is the only way to get through it at a reasonable pace. My everyday running includes periods of walking in almost every run. I may walk for 3' as part of a warm-up or cool-down, do 10" strides with a 30" walk after each, walk 90" between mile repeats, walk down a hill after hill repeats, etc. This approach was introduced by my new coach as a way to get in great intensity while preventing injury. It seems to work well for me. When it comes to stand alone running races, I run 100% of the time though. |

I'm a little late, but congrats Kim! Glad to hear that the foot is feeling no worse and you were still able to crank out that 3:40 after doing an HM the day before. Simply awesome!! |
