Hi folks,

Looks to be a fairly doable week for our training groups as Sandy has progressed enough that I can be away from home for a period of time. She was able to walk with a cane on Wednesday- good progress!

KONA IRONMAN HAWAI 2026: Quite the event this year with choppy ocean water for the 2.4 mile swim, fierce winds during the 112 mile bike portion and very high humidity plus heat during the marathon. VINCENT LUIS,37 of France took the win in 7:47:27 time that included a 49 minute swim, a 4:15:42 for the 112 mile bike and 2:38:36 marathon ( just over 6 minutes per mile). Remarkable! Norway’s Gustav Iden came in second with a 7:49:03 time and from the USA, Mat Marquadt still got on the podium in third place – after having to wait out a three minute penalty. He would have won it were it not for the drafting penalty. I’m always impressed how these top athletes can navigate the conditions, terrain and nutrition challenges; some eleven pro men and 11 women had to drop out of the race.

WOMEN:

10/13/26. TUESDAY. TEMPO run pieces over a flat to rolling course on smooth dirt or pavement terrain run at 10K race pace effort interspersed with short easy jogging breaks. After the half mile or so warm-up pick it up to 10K pace, “threshold pace” not too slowly and not too fast, but a controlled high aerobic pace.

5′ Tempo (1′ easy) – 15′ steady tempo with no breaks so you acclimate to the non-stop nature of a race.

Hi Folks,

Today got away from me because Sandy had quite a day of visiting medical personnel, PT session of exercises, walking with her walker, right leg, left leg in place marching (hip flexors), all followed by icing, a pain pill – and a nap. It’s a busy time for a care taker as a number of you know: meal prep, pick stuff, laundry, reload the icing machine and visitors which helped raise her spirits. A number of you have been so kind to bring food during those first ten days: a big help to us both. Now it’s easier because I can go out and do errands as she’s become more independent. She is encouraged with her progress though it is a difficult to get her exercises completed: it’s her job now.

I’m having trouble updating the blog on the laptop, so I’ll be writing on my IPhone for now..

More updates to come.

10/6/26. TUESDAY. TEMPO RUN pieces over dirt or pavement terrain on a flat or undulating course at 10K race pace effort, i.e., at a high aerobic but controlled pace with short recovery breaks.

A gp: 2 x 150(50), 10 x 400 on 2’ if 5k pace is sub 6’ pace , so you get 30”-40” recovery. If your actual 5K pace run is slower do on the 2:15 or 2:30.

Hi Folks,

it was two weeks ago that Sandy sustained a major leg break from slipping on a set of carpeted stairs; she is in full recovery mode with navigating meds, OT, PT, sleeping and keeping positive.

Hi Folks,

SATURDAY HR/XT workout is on for 8/29/26

Some SATURDAY HR/XT sessions will be cancelled in mid-September:

Looks like we will have a regular week of training this week; however NO SAT/HR/XT on 9/5/26; A number of the group will be cycling in a fund raiser called TOUR de FUZZ (9-5/26) in, Santa Rosa, Healdsburg/ Dry Creek areas. We’ll be on for Saturday, 9/12, but then we’ll be away from 9/17-10/2; I’ll update if we have a Saturday workout on 10/3/26.

NEW WR was run in the HALF MARATHON in Buenos Aires last weekend, by YOMIF KEJELCHA of Ethiopia which is about 4:20 per mile! His 5K splits: 13:44, 13:34, 13:21, and a final 2:49. His 10K splits: 27:18 and 28:44.

You’ll be running the familiar 400 repeats at 5K race pace with about 30-40″ pause between each rep.

If the pause is too short implement a slightly longer one so you can maintain the reps without struggling.

Hi all,

It will be a hot week so take the appropriate precautions when doing endurance training. If you get behind with your hydration and nutrition; you’ll pay the price.

TDF FEMME avec SWIFT: if you can watch the replay of a truly remarkable long climb by KASIA NEWIEDOMA PHINNEY on stage 7 up the iconic Mt. Ventoux that features the last 10 miles of 9-11% unrelenting grade. She never let up on a fast cadence that crushed the opposition! Simply amazing… KASIA’s parents are Connie Carpenter ( 1984 gold medalist cyclist , national champion road racer and Olympic speed skater. Her Dad, is Dave Phinney, who raced on the US 7-11 Cycling team years ago . Genetics carried through!

TRAINING TIP on HYDRATION: Before you go on your run, bike ride or longer hike is drink half a water bottle of water prior to going out the door. It will give you the much needed kickstart to hydration without suffering a side ache or gastric distress, but it will avoid suffering from lack of hydration towards the end of your run or race. French researchers found that with practice that their runner subjects could drink 21, 26 and even 30 ounces prior to a run without problem and performed better. The runners acclimated to drinking an increasing volume of water prior to starting their run. I’ve found that by “tanking up”, i could skip the first crowded aid station in a race at 5K and still have enough hydration until I reached the 10K aid station.

Research by Dr. David Costil of Ball State University when he tracked all fluid intake and output for a solid week or so that the runners were not replenishing their water levels on a daily basis. The data showed a steady decline in fluid balance even though the runners thought they were hydrating properly.

8/4/26 TUESDAY. TEMPO run pieces at 10K to 15K race paced depending on your weekly mileage. After the warm-up run, pick it up to a controlled 10K race pace over a flat to mildly rolling course holding the effort steady at threshold effort.
