This is what I’ve been working on with Art, Joe, and Loren last 7 months, we
launched 2 weeks ago, just days before YC W15 Demo Day. We were featured by
Apple as a Best New App. Here’s a blog post written by Loren introducing Priime.

HAL’S BOSTON BOUND 2015 TRAINING SCHEDULE CALENDAR LINKS

Leave a reply

I usually use YourTrainingCalendar to generate my training schedule, but this
time I’m following Higdon’s Boston Bound program instead of his Advanced 2, and
YourTrainingCalendar doesn’t have that program yet.

I actually bought Hal’s program at TrainingPeaks, but to sync to Google Calendar
I need to upgrade to Premium. So instead I created my own calendar and made it
public. Here are the links to add to your own calendars.

URLS

* XML
* iCal
* HTML

To add to Google Calendar, find the “Other calendars” drop down menu. Select
“Add by URL” and copy and paste this link into the field:
http://bit.ly/bostonbound15

And if you want to change the calendar color to the Boston yellow, the hex code
is #ffde00. (at least what’s what they’re using on their website)

Good luck!

THE SAN FRANCISCO MARATHON 2014

1 Reply

I’ve always wanted to run the SF Marathon, so when we decided to move back I
signed up for it right away. They had a 3:00 pace group, so I started the race
with them. We were clocking 6:40 miles and had more than 30 seconds to spare
after the downhill sections after coming back from the Golden Gate Bridge. A
friend from my running group joined me in Golden Gate Park and paced me for a
couple of miles, it was awesome and resulted in a pretty fast mile 18. I started
to fade at mile 19, at around mile 20 the 3:05 pacers passed me. I think sub 3
at TSFM was a bit aggressive especially with inadequate hills training. Since I
already got my BQ, I just took it easy on the downhills in the last 10k. I was
mindful with my quads and didn’t want them to cramp up. I also didn’t want more
black toenails. I ran high-7 and low-8 min-miles only and it was a pretty
comfortable stroll to the finish line. I finished with a 3:11:00, which I’m
pretty happy with.

DETAILED RESULTS

Time 3:11:00 Overall Pace 7:11 Overall Place 138 out of 6580 Gender Place 132
out of 4287 Age Group (M35–39) Place 15 out of 648

GEARS

I have a decent collection of running shoes:

* Saucony Peregrine 4 for trails, really love these, I got about 142 miles in
them
* Adidas Energy Boost 2.0, ran Grandma’s with these, racked up about 240 miles
in them, mostly longer runs
* Newton Distance S III, ran SFM with these, was curious about the brand,
decent shoes, only have about 128 miles on them so far
* Altra One2, just got them, very light weight, zero drop, the sizes run a bit
small so maybe get a half size bigger than usual

OTHER GEARS

* RooSport pouch, I picked up one of these at the Grandma’s expo. I used to run
with running belts and switched to this. The RooSport doesn’t bounce at all,
and it holds my phone and a few Gu packets. I’ve done many long runs and ran
SFM with it, no chaffing at all
* Feetures socks, only socks I run with now, super comfy, no chaffing or
blisters after over 1k miles in them. They’re also available for cheap at
Nordstrom Rack
* Meelectronic M6P cans, cheap $25 cans with volume slider and button, solid
inexpensive running cans
* I picked up an Elevation Training Mask, will start training with it on

RECOVERY

I picked up a pair of SKINS RY400 recovery compression tights before Grandma’s.
I put them on shortly after the race and had them on 24/7 for 3 days. They
helped a lot. I now sleep in them after harder workouts. If you want to recover
quickly, I highly recommend them. I hydrate with Nuun tablets after workouts,
the flavors are tasty and sugar-free. I take Gu Recovery Brew after long runs,
and after races I drink Hammer Recoverite.

I just got a Roll Recovery R8 massager, it’s pricey but works really well. I use
it in addition to my Tiger Tail and Grid foam rollers (yes I have 2, the
original 13″ one and the 5″ one for travel).

ONWARD

I will attempt sub 3 again at CIM. Maybe one of the Tahoe marathons too, but
should probably just focus on CIM. I’ll do Boston 2015 and probably the Boston 2
Big Sur Challenge, that’s to run Big Sur, a pretty hilly and difficult course, 6
days after Boston. I already signed up for TSFM 2015, I should be much better
prepared for it next year.

2014 GRANDMA’S MARATHON, BQ

Leave a reply

I run about 40 miles per week since I moved back to SF. Every Thursday I run
with ARM SF, a local running store in Presidio Heights. They have Thursday 7pm
and Sunday 9am group runs. I also started hitting trails and hills more, but I’m
still really bad at hills.

I signed up for Grandma’s shortly after moving back to the states, my parents
live in the Twin Cities and my aunt lives in Duluth/Superior, so logistically
it’s super simple to run this race. It’s also one of the best races to BQ. I had
June 21st on my calendar, but didn’t really put together a day-by-day training
schedule like I did with my marathons last year. I knew my base was decent, and
I just needed more speeds. I loosely followed the “Coach” training schedule in
the Nike+ iOS app last 5 weeks before the race.

My dream goal was to go sub 3, but the fastest pace group they had was 3:05. I
figured sub-3:05 (BQ+5) should be enough room to get into Boston, so I ran with
the 3:05 pacer. I pretty much ran in front of the group until around the 20-mile
mark, I started to fade when I hit Lemon Drop Hill, at which point the pacer
passed me and I chased him til the finish line. It was fun to hear the foot
steps of the entire pace group behind me almost the entire race. I finished with
a chip time of 3:04:49, which qualified me for Boston.

DETAILED RESULTS

Time 3:04:49 Avg Pace 7:04 Overall Place 407 out of 6212 Gender Place 346 out of
3494 Age Group (M35–39) Place 47 out of 463
