Have not written about them, but have been treated with them. I agree - great stuff.

Firstly, congratulations on the book!
Secondly - glad to see you getting back out there! I am thinking of the Cape Cod marathon as a fall 26.2 (it is sort of a back up as there is a small chance that I could still get a NYCM number).

p.s. I think you meant to say that you ran Boston in 2011 vs. 2012 as it states in the post, but I could be wrong and now feel sad that I didn't see you run by (but by the gist of the post I figure you meant 2011).

Thanks Curb! It can be tough sometimes, but summer is my release so I'm happy :)

Apparently the book has not arrived in the Canadian distrbuting warehouse yet, hopefully soon.

Depends on what happens with NYC - ideal would be to run fast in October, pace in November :)

Pete, ever blog about ART, mayofascial release and Graston. These forms of therapy keep me in my running shoes.

Thanks Alett! Yes, meant 2011, need to change that. For Fall, there is a chance I may do NYC, or maybe back to Smuttynose.

So true! Way to go! A Fall Marathon you say? To PR or pace?!

Hey Pete, I hear ya! I’ve been a trainer and coach for 12 years so people expect that I’m always going to be in great shape. But during some busy periods it’s tough to maintain a decent level of fitness. About 8 years ago I did a Master’s degree while still working full-time and boy did my fitness plummet. In the end it was worth it but tough to let go of so much hard earned fitness. I’ve found adding a 2-3 times weekly bike commute helps a lot when I can’t get as much running. Anyway, glad to hear you’re back at it. BTW I pre-ordered your book weeks ago but don’t think it’s been released yet in Canada as I still haven’t received it. Looking forward to reading it as I’m sure many runners are so your sacrifice is appreciated!

I agree with you, exercising 2 or 3 times a week is not going to make a big difference.. I usually get focus and my body response more when I workout 5 to 6 days a week.. Now I am back in to the gym 5 days a week, and looking forward to run my first 5k soon!

Pete,
I have never heard or remember reading if you have done much HR monitoring to build and maintain your aerobic base ala Maffetone. You are a much more developed runner than I but I really have enjoyed the transition to running in zone 2 and slowing building out the base.
