The going up is a challenge but the going down is where I feel freaky; do I go all out to build strength and speed or do I take it easy and let my body ease into the training. I feel like it's still a little early for me...anyway, I loved your details on Big Sur, that's one I definitely want to try! Hope your week went well!!!<br />megsieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00129091073767399081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925925396644006805.post-50286538105345997042010-02-04T20:11:06.320-07:002010-02-04T20:11:06.320-07:00I remember reading a runner never gains back the t...I remember reading a runner never gains back the time running downhill that he/she lost running uphill. I didn't know the numbers behind that, however, and now I feel a lot smarter. Shame that upgrade in intelligence won't translate immediately into physical ability to run up those hills. :)<br /><br />I loved the Big Sur story and you painted the perfect picture with your words. The photos, as always, compliment the tale nicely. Thanks for sharing.<br /><br />I think you learned how to prepare well during Tucson's run, so I have no doubt your next marathon will be attacked with all the vigor your body and soul can muster.<br /><br />By the way, you are the ONLY reason and person who could convince me to sign up for Chicago.

Did you seriously say 83% gradient? Holy cow. I thought Colorado hills were bad. <br /><br />I really like your hill facts. I find it incredibly interesting that people slow about .082 m/s for every 1% change. Living in CO, there are so many gradient changes, no wonder I'm so damn slow. I am also working the opposite way of the "memory effect" of gradients. Hmmm...interesting.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08824035353538721352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925925396644006805.post-87206471117588080612010-02-04T11:31:37.811-07:002010-02-04T11:31:37.811-07:00New reader, here.

After an uphill, it took an average of 78 seconds on level ground before runners resumed their normal speeds. After a downhill, runners maintained higher speeds for an average of 23 seconds. The goal should be to distribute effort as evenly as possible. So you might want to go a little slower on the uphills and then focus on resuming your “normal” pace as soon as possible after the hill (precisely the opposite of the way I’ve always raced, I’m sad to say!). And go a little harder on downhills instead of letting yourself recover"<br />Sorry to cut a paste such a large section, but this really, really got me thinking! WOW! I am so a product of all of this. No matter how hard or well I do on an up hill, it still takes me while to get back to pre-hill pace. I have some work to do!<br /><br />I loved reading about your Big Sur journey - but it also got me a bit nervous! I bit off a big chunk, didn't I! But your post gives me strength...I am sure I will be chaneling my inner-Jill out there! You have a remarkable way with words - thanks for sharing :)<br /><br />I cannot wait for Boston! I catch myself daydreaming about it alllll the time! It seems so far away, like it will never happen, but then I see our ticker on our blogs and it says less than 75 days! OMG!<br /><br />And yes, we will have a huge party at the finish for you!
