Yesterday (Saturday) I ran a HURT loop by myself. I know others were out there however I was running later due to watching my daughters soccer game. The trails were extremely dry–possibly as dry as I have ever seen them. Unfortunately the air was wet–thick with humidity. It felt good to put in a full…
Just a heads up. A local women and her two dogs are frequently on Moleka in the evening. I have had 5 encounters with her. The first three encounters, the dogs were unleashed and all over me, actually knocking me off the trail and down an enbankment (#3). At this time I politely asked her…

I came across this article at Runners Web that got me thinking about the training we do for H.U.R.T. events. I have been kicking around some of these ideas for my own training as well. The author talks about adding speed workouts for endurance events–though not in the context of 100 mile runs, and I…

This past weekend for me personally consisted of zero training. Not good! I did manage to get 20 road miles in at the Ho’omaluhia Botanical Garden on Friday. I can’t remember the last time I have run 20 miles on the road? My training schedule was pre-empted by coaching our two daughters in a soccer…
This past Friday evening several of us met for a night training run on the H.U.R.T. 100 course. I should have known it was going to be one of those nights when I called Cheryl as I was leaving Kailua and she told me it was already raining pretty hard in Manoa. It was a…

Just wanted to thank everyone who contributed to a great weekend of training. Of course, when I say everyone, I’ll probably accidentally leave someone off, my apologies. First, thanks to Paul Sibley for including me in a run from town (Honolulu) to Kailua Friday night. We had less than ideal conditions–it was raining and foggy…
Over the next several weeks, the Saturday training runs will start to become longer. I talked with several people this past weekend at the Firecracker Race and I know there are runners who are interested in joining in on some of these weekly training runs. I want to encourage you to do so as it…
