Interval training

Has anyone seen a good interval training program online? I think that will be the trick for me to get faster but I am looking for something well defined and geared for a marathon.

Runner Number

I figured that I would post in the main part instead of the comments. I want to be runner #1. Unless I have to fight someone. Then they can have it. Brian was looking at something in Van 1, and we would like to be in the same chase vehicle.

Runner Numbers

Happy Independence Day everyone. Melissa and I finally got a flag. How patriotic are we, almost 8 years of marriage and we just now get a flag.

So we should probably be thinking of what runner we want to be. There is a pdf that can be downloaded of the legs from the ragnar site. http://www.ragnarrelay.com/lasvegas/racebook.pdf

I want to be runner 7.

Also, what is the plan on van 2? Are we gonna try dads van again?

real distances

So I plugged the GPS coordinates into google maps on my second leg and it says it was 10.3 miles, not 9.6.


It still felt like 12.

Lets go again

I am still flying high from last weekend! I had such a blast! I would have to rate that in the top 10 of my personal experiences. My only regret about the weekend was not getting to spend very much time with van TOUGH (i think that's how they spell 2 in some foreign countries?). I think I may be addicted and will soon be going through withdrawal. I can't wait for Vegas, but after looking at the routes and legs I can already tell that I prefer Wasatch! We have to plan on partying at the finish line next year. It would have been nice to sit down and compare notes and experiences. I definitely want to run van 2 next year. Hopefully my wife will run with me.

CONGRATS

Congratulations to everyone for such an amazing and trying experience. I know that Jeremy was watching over us and probably laughing at times. I thank all of you for your inspiring stories of training and triumphs along with the hardships that we all faced. It is hard to think that it has actually come and gone already, although I am sure that I will know for sure that it is over tomorrow when I try to get out of bed...hahaha. Thanks again for all the memories created and for the closeness we share as a family. I love you all and look forward to seeing as many of you as can make it to the reunion. Hopefully we can keep our parents from killing each other.

Adrenalin

Every time I think about the race I get a little adrenalin rush. I love that feeling! I hope I don't runout of adrenalin before my last leg:) I will probably need it. Can't wait for tomorrow!
