Prior to finding Barry Heyden, Former Director of Fitness and Conditioning for the New York Mets and founder of Full Spectrum New York, I thought the Alter-G treadmills were only for the pros and if there were any available it would be wildly expensive. I was able to run a 5:20 mile pace, something I have never done on land. It felt like I was running really fast on the track. I was light on my feet yet felt the full extension of my legs and the balls of my feet hitting the ground and pawing back.

Posted in NYRR, marathon training, running, tagged boston marathon, Hilary Lorenz, New York city marathon, NYC marathon, Pete Pfitzinger, Rehab., running, Running Injury Prevention, stress fracture on July 21, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I am very happy when I hear from people who are running after 5 or 6 weeks of their stress fractures. The short times saves oneself from accumulating adipose tissue while simultaneously losing their mind. I am on week 8 and suffering from both. In all fairness I did start running; rehab running with the [...]

I put off updating my blog because I did not want to admit that I ran myself into the ground and have been given a forced leave of absence. One thing I have never really worried about is stress fractures. I am not sure why I did not worry, a huge number of my [...]

I just got home and I am grinning from ear to ear. Today was my first mountain trail race the 1/2 marathon at Bear Mountain, part of the North FAce Challenge Series. There is a five star ranking series on this race, elevation change 4 out of 5, technical terrain 5 out of 5, overall [...]

Pouring rain, 46º and over 7,000 runners. I do not know the total because the results are not posted. I raced today in New York City’s Central Park for the Scotland 10K. It was a giant mud bath in the baggage area and pretty darn cold, but overall a fun day.
A lot happened in the [...]

Racing Extravaganza

Last weekend there were two NYRR races, a 4 miler and 15K. Early in the year, January 1st I signed up for as many open races as possible since this year NYRR is put a cap of 5,000 people in each race. Most of the races filled a couple weeks before the race, but all [...]
Back at It

Oh, not a pretty picture! This is the finish of New York Road Runner’s Coogan’s 5k. It is a very hilly out and back 5k, and on this day it was barely 30 degrees. I still do not think it was 30 as reported with 10 mph winds. I think it was about 15. [...]

I am laying in bed, two dogs stretched out around me and I am coughing like crazy. My brain is in overdrive with teaching too many classes, taking too many classes, my exhibition opening and obsessing about running. So one at a time.
Exhibition. On Saturday I am showing at a new gallery in Brooklyn New [...]
