How much more than that did you run in 2016, and what’d you average per week during the Houston training cycle? Your 12 months abroad you ran 3,504 miles, so roughly 67 miles/week. My favorite places to run in Boulder are Davidson Mesa and Coal Creek, both of which are short jogs from where I live in Louisville.
Having trained in Houston for 9 great years, after last summer’s track season, I felt magnetized by the mountains and hopeful from the summer I spent here in college that its beauty and energy would reinvigorate me after a tough 2016.
Of all the places I’ve been, Boulder is among the top in terms of trails and running community and sunshine, which are all huge to me. You’ve been all over the world, how’d you land in Boulder? Are you able to run full-time, and what’s your favorite place to run in Boulder? While it would have been fun to be rewarded with a fast time, I’m pleased with how the race shook out and thankful that I felt so controlled and joyful throughout the race. He wanted me to stay within a conservative range for the first 20 miles and then pick up as many places as I could. Based on my build-up, I felt primed for a PR (currently 2:30), but my coach Jim Bevan and I adjusted the race plan to match the conditions and to be more like a competition rather than a time trial. Thank you! The humidity at Houston was right around 100% throughout the race, so that affected marathon times significantly. Was 2:35 the goal then? And it wasn’t a PR, but I think it was your second-fastest marathon, so are you feeling pretty good with it? Becky Wade and her Runner Box prize.īecky, congrats on finishing third in 2:35 at the Houston Marathon! It looks like you split it almost dead even.
