Blackstrap Hell: The Red Queen
http://blackstraphell.blogspot.com/2012/11/the-red-queen.html
Saturday, November 3, 2012. Well, in our country," said Alice, still panting a little, "you'd generally get to somewhere else — if you run very fast for a long time, as we've been doing.". A slow sort of country! Said the Queen. "Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that! Last 0.2 at 5:38 pace. 4th place. 2nd Master. About 3:30 behind than the 1st master. Ouch cubed! And whenever you w...

Blackstrap Hell: October 2012
http://blackstraphell.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 10, 2012. Ever since watching Floyd Lavery race sockless, I've always wondered how much the weight of socks matter to race performance. Haven't you? That gave me the estimated VdotO2 for a given race performance. Here is what I found. 10K time VdotO2 %larger than VdotO2 @ 37 min 10K. 36:300 53.14 1.68. 36250 53.29 1.97. I don't know if that's 100g in total shoe or per shoe. Let's say its total shoe. This means the difference in wearing say Asics Piranhas. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Blackstrap Hell: February 2012
http://blackstraphell.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 29, 2012. I've decided to exploit the local terrain around my house more by using the hills even for ez training. I had largely been doing this with hill repeats but now I've decided that even my easy runs I'm going to pack with the local hills. No more (or at least, much less) back cove! I've also done a hill repeat at faster than easy pace on a more local hill than Skillins. Its on the road but the traffic is pretty minimal and its a longer climb than Skillins. I'm hoping that by in...

Blackstrap Hell: Trail to Ale
http://blackstraphell.blogspot.com/2012/09/trail-to-ale.html
Sunday, September 16, 2012. Today was a perfectly stunning day to race. 36:57 10K PR. Greatly aided by 1) perfect racing weather, 2) net downhill, and 3) an uncertified course that was maybe a tad short : )? It was also a cut-back week, so I was fresher than for the bruiser. A common site at road races the past 2 years - me 3-4s behind Brett. September 16, 2012 at 7:08 PM. September 16, 2012 at 9:33 PM. Sweet PR man, own it! September 17, 2012 at 7:06 AM. Love it when the wildebeest comes out! Simple tem...

Blackstrap Hell: June 2012
http://blackstraphell.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 17, 2012. Mount W and FD5K: Not your doctor's management plan. And Kate, who were also hiking to watch the race. The last little push to the top (rock hoppin' the boulder field) required a surprisingly high effort given that we were walking but I guess the trail is kind of steep in that section! We reached the summit sign in 95 minutes and in one piece. We also ran into Chuck and Katy heading up! Monday, June 4, 2012. Were out to play). I stayed with a friend in Concord NH the night befo...
