I am following a path similar to yours as next year I would like to focus on doing a couple of ultra running races. I told Mel I am doing the Death Race in 2011. <br /><br />Best of luck with yours!Shannon Wickshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00623368715172830587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5397003614825146216.post-19998222171219717462010-01-05T15:42:45.134-07:002010-01-05T15:42:45.134-07:00If you are looking for some inspiration for your month of running, pick up &quot;Born to Run&quot; by Christopher McDougall. It is an awesome story interspersed with some interesting research. A word of caution though, my year of Ultra Running is a direct result of this and a couple other books I read the past few months ;) <br />PS I got mine at the Library, so you should be able to as well.Amber Dawnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02495066839937055346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5397003614825146216.post-44294319205629262010-01-05T15:28:49.708-07:002010-01-05T15:28:49.708-07:00Oh, and I love numbers.Keithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09364395150014197905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5397003614825146216.post-35143228083576277842010-01-05T15:28:33.636-07:002010-01-05T15:28:33.636-07:00Glad to see that you&#39;re feeling better and back to blogging.<br /><br />I check running cadence every now and then, and I&#39;m about 85 or so. But then, I&#39;ve been told I have tight hips, and run like I&#39;ve got a corn cob somewhere sensitive, so I&#39;m not taking big steps. And with my conditioning so far I&#39;m not going all that fast. Maybe things will change as I train more.<br /><br />It would be nice to see the data on &quot;optimum&quot; cadence, both for biking and running. There was some discussion during Kona about a slower bike cadence. There&#39;s some Czech girls who&#39;s coach advocates a slower cadence on the bike. Maybe it depends on your own physiology?Keithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09364395150014197905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5397003614825146216.post-53170357178871278552010-01-05T15:24:02.928-07:002010-01-05T15:24:02.928-07:00numbers drive me bonkers...i now am avoiding them.
