Boston Lessons, Muy Extremo, Coaching Clinic



Boston Lessons
After the horrible events in Boston, there was at least the positive of the participants, spectators and first responders coming together to help, followed by the collective responses of the city of Boston, the running community and the nation in solidarity.  Here are the Boston runners from our group, all of whom finished and returned safely.

Chris Garges – 2:53:15, 1,086th
Jim Mastrianni – 3:00:42, 2,205th
John Heely – 3:24:23, 6,944th
Rob Gallagher – 3:38:02, 10,661st
Jerry Rossetti – 3:52:08, 14,313th
Dean Dimmig – 3:57:08, 15,612th
Neil Policelli – 4:00:27, 16,143rd

Extreme, Even for an Ultra Runner
When your idea of a schedule is doing thee 100+ mile trail ultras in four weeks, flying from Europe to the US and back to run, then your name must be Lizzie Hawker and your endurance is off the charts.  She’s also done a mind-numbing 247km in 24 hours on a one-kilometer asphalt loop.  (It must have been even more mind-numbing for those counting the laps.)

Today in Boston

We're all Boston runners today.  Our thoughts are with the runners, their families and the people of Boston.  Let's hope that this tragic and criminal event does not inhibit participation in Boston and other races.  Otherwise the bombers will have accomplished their goal.

Boston Bound, Racing Around, Time Dor Shorts?



Beanie Babies
It’s Boston Marathon weekend, the running community’s version of Festivus.  Congratulations to those who both put in the effort to qualify and to brave the gauntlet of the registration process.  Fortunately, the weather is more inclined to clam chowder than a clam (or runner) bake.  Good luck to all who are making the trek to Boston for the grand-daddy of all 26.2 mile races.

Many Results
Every year, I forget how easy I have it in the winter with just a handful of race results to track down every week.  Then we get to the end of March and the beginning of April and there are more races than a dog has fleas.  It says a lot about the number of runners in the area and their enthusiasm for the sport that there are enough participants to support these races. 

My firm belief, however, is that you should avoid the big overhyped races (Boston being the exception but it’s also a moot point for me) and patronize the local smaller races.  Unlike the big races which only cater to sponsors and elite runners, the organizers of most smaller races are runners themselves and appreciate the need to put the runner first.

On or Off-Part 2?
Last time the off or on question was around minimalist shoes.  This week the question is whether long pants have been ditched for the season or not.  Are you out in shorts as soon as it’s above freezing or do the long pants stick around until the temperature is reliably over 70°F?

Club Races    
Two neat races on May 4 but be prepared to have your legs get a workout as both races have nice extended uphill finishes.
