There's a weather pattern called the as far as I know called the bomb Cyclone bomb cyclone and what does that mean? basically the Barometric pressure I think or basically the the pressure that is like, you know, I have you you have low pressure and high pressure Weather systems well, we dropped 24 bars on the weather scale in the last 24 hours which qualifies this storm as a Bomb cyclone. So we got hit with wind. We got hit with snow. It was insane But I got I got my 10 miles in so let us know how your run was today. It was crazy It was absolutely crazy. You know what?

Absolutely strong. So Okay, moving on to some trivia. All right. I'm trying to continue to work on Trivia, so if you like trivia, you're in the right spot. And if you're really smart with running history I I studied history in college and so I really like a good a good bout of Of trivia. So here you go First trivia question and all so what I do with these trivia questions is they try to basically Get the wheels turning for all of you on the topics for the evening so right now we're gonna dive into some track and field trivia and Again just to get the conversation going around tonight's topic. So all right, here we go. Here we go Question number one And I'll keep monitoring the chat. So don't you don't you worry? I'll keep jumping over because Kajelka of Ethiopia Got within point zero one of the world indoor mile record last month just February at this Historical indoor track meet what what is the name of that indoor track meet? All right, I'm gonna monitor the chat who will get it first who will get it first This was just February 2019 so very very recently So here we go here we go Okay, let's see who's gonna get it who's gonna get it Kajelka of Ethiopia Ah Let's see here Okay, I'm monitoring here as anybody know what track meet was it in the indoor track meet and Milrose games Connor crushed it Connor you got it Connor was first Jordan Second Scott third nice work. Okay second question that just it goes right past It goes it builds off of the first question So did you know that the Milrose games they're held at the Armory in Washington Heights? So the upper portion of Manhattan, but where were the Milrose games held Before 2011. All right, that's the second question. You got it. All right good work. All right. I'm monitoring here monitoring here That's the second question. Good guy. Good job Scott Robert Thomas blue collar runner Jordan. I love it I love it. Good work. You guys you guys were on a quick Connor Connor was first though. All right. Let's see here Welcome everybody Suzanne is in the house. I just asked Suzanne you will you would definitely have known the first trivia question Let's see where where was before the Armory Where were the Milrose games held a monitor boom? Scott Madison Square Garden Madison Square Garden. It was at Madison Square Garden For decades just decades the Milrose games good work Jordan Joe Scott and Nice work there. Okay Question number three question number three and this is um, well, I don't want to give too much away I'm trying to phrase it the right way, okay When was the first? College track meet held and no Google no Google when was the first college track meet held and Bonus points if you know which university is competed. All right, that's the third question when was the first college track meet held and Which universities competed? All right, here we go. Here we go. Oh Man good work everybody Nice Nice, let's see here. I love it. Everybody's oh my goodness We're almost to a hundred people watching. Can we break a hundred in the first 15 minutes? Let's do this. Oh Anthony not quite not quite a Little older Anthony a little further in the past First college track meet and which two universities. It was not Harvard versus Yale It was in Europe correct blue collar runner. It was in Europe. Oh, man. I'm still waiting for it. No, no, ooh Close that was a close guess there. All right. Let's see mate. This is a tough one Okay, I'll say I'll say this. It was it was in England. It was in England. Does that help? It was in England. Let's see here 1864 1864 that's right between I still haven't seen it in the chat. Oh, I stumped you guys a little bit We must not have any Brits watching right now. There you go Oxford Versus Cambridge Oxford versus Cambridge in 1864 Based on my research that was the first official College track meet ever held like around the world Which if you think about it like we are in the United's well many of us are in the United States Not everyone but like that's right when the Civil War was coming to an end right around So it's just crazy to think like across the Atlantic They were hosting a track meet and like I'm a history. I love history So it's just crazy to think that we were fighting a civil war here in the United States When they were having a track meet so anyway, all right. Good work. All right Shall we do one more one more trivia question for before diving into some track and field topics? All right. This is a little a little difficult If you've seen the documentary it'll give it away and if you're local in the Colorado You might have a little bit of a leg up. Anyway, we'll see. All right in which in which town Did Jim Ryan? So Jim Ryan was a Myler Very famous American Myler in which town did Jim Ryan train to prepare for the? 1968 Olympics in Mexico City, so he went to this town to train To get ready for the Mexico City Olympics in 1968 Let's see here. Let's see here monitor and monitoring good work everybody good work Gonna take a swig of water as you think it over Not Boulder, Colorado Not Boulder not Durango. Oh, this is a good one. This is a good one man of two Springs That's a good guess, but no No, so Think about think about the elevation of Mexico City. I think Mexico City is about 73 7500 feet I think some spots maybe it gets closer to 8,000 Colorado Springs Boulder Flagstaff Orlando not quite. I might have to help out here. So believe it or not I will I'll help you out here This is a little obscure and I'll connect this into some other things as well Bracken Ridge. All right, so In cross-country in the NCAA Leadville note Estes Park note. So in the NCAA, you've got the University of Colorado You've got Stanford. You've got Oklahoma State as far as powerhouse collegiate cross-country teams Division one But then but then Division two so you got Division one and then Division two you've got some really really stout Excuse me Division two cross-country programs. You've got the School of Mines in Golden, Colorado you've got Western State in Gunnison, Colorado and then you've got Adam State in Alamosa, Colorado. So Alamosa, Colorado is right about 8,000 feet I think it's just slightly below and it's flat as a pancake great Great great farming land down there in the San Luis Valley So that is where Jim Ryan went to train for the 1968 Olympics like that area that general area There's also mountains he could train on in that Valley, but he lived in Alamosa. So Alamosa it is and basically That's a little a little tidbit of history for you when it comes to Jim Ryan and the mile and Basically, he knew and like it's amazing like even in the late 60s They knew they needed to train in altitude to get ready for that Mexico City thin air in the late 60s so anyway, Alamosa is it. All right, good work everyone. That was fun All right, so let's move on and I'm just gonna I'm just gonna check in here on the chat make sure I didn't miss anything So track and field holy smokes in high school for me like today's weather in Colorado like we got hit with this snow storm It's crazy and I distinctly remember many track meets in high school running in this not quite this bad But bad weather like wind cold Sometimes snow, but just like really tough track and field conditions. And so I don't know if you all have experienced I don't know if you all have experienced tough track meets in crazy spring weather But I feel like track almost should be Almost like a late April type. I'm then going into the summer. But anyway, so the the weather outside is reminding me of Of that, okay So I'm just looking at a few notes I took down today and somebody made me aware of this in the Somebody made me aware of this in the in the comments I think two days ago and when I want to talk about track like listen My first love is definitely mountain running Probably second would be road running and probably third would be track I like I think there's a lot of great things that happen in track and The four by 800 in my humble opinion is one of the most fun races in the entire world Like when you've got four guys who are decent at You know not sprinting but running a really solid 800 meters that it's just like so thrilling to run a four by eight but Obviously like it's not at the top of my list since I'm out of college out of high school and for all of you high schoolers out there just like Relish it like live it up and love The track because you know doesn't last forever even though you can do masters races sometimes for indoor track meets and outdoor track Meets especially on the east coast. I feel like the east coast is holding down the track scene really well out here in the west It's definitely just not as prevalent Like we do have track meets But it's just not like the as we just talked about the Millrose games are out there. They're like broadcast on TV I remember watching the Millrose games. I think on the ESPN I don't know if it's still stream or if it's still showing on ESPN, but anyway, that's a big deal. So so anyway, that's kind of the context of Diving into track tonight because guess what we are It's it's track season like track is kicking up for a lot of high schoolers out there college students And we're just kind of finishing up the indoor track season so I'm gonna read something here, and I want to make sure I wrote it down pretty well But and actually I did pull up so did you know and I'm gonna jump into the chat here in a minute And don't be afraid to ask your questions over there Basically did you hear that so the Tokyo Olympics? 2020 so basically 18 months from now the standards to Qualify for the Tokyo Olympics Just got quite a bit more difficult now from what I've read from and this just happened in the last couple of days basically the times to qualify Dropped pretty significantly compared to the Rio Olympics in 2016 and let me know in the chat if you heard about this in the news It was a pretty big deal on flow track on where else did I see it? I saw it on let's run I saw highly Gebra Salasi Who the famous Ethiopian runner? He was interviewed by Reuters about about this and so Basically, let me just read something real quick here Just a short little paragraph in the marathon in the marathon the qualifying standard for the 2016 Olympics in Rio was 219 for the men and 245 for the women for the 2020 Olympics those marks have dropped to 211 30 for the men and 229 30 for the ladies respectively This dramatic change reflects the fact that the upcoming Olympic marathon fields have been reduced to 80 runners Roughly half the field in Rio Meanwhile in the 5k the standards went from 1325 for the men and 1520 for the ladies down to 1313 for the men and 1510 for the Ladies and I'm just gonna pull up a screenshot here of a couple other like all of the time I could just got more difficult. Let me just pull up one more like let's let's let's throw out the 10k Um Yeah, now the 10k for the men is 27 28 and for the ladies 31 25 So we're talking about Um, we're talking about a pretty old man and over a hundred people watching Welcome everybody and thank you to luke for the super chat just for reviewing adidas today. No problem luke Thank you for that super chat two dollars. I appreciate it. So jumping back in basically It's gonna be pretty It's gonna be um Like actually somebody sent me a message on facebook. I think you know like For those that don't know I am striving to see how fast I can run in the marathon this year I think I can do well Um Can I qualify for the olympic trials in the united states? I'm not exactly sure but we're gonna give it a We're gonna give it a go. I mean I it's 219 sub 219 And then this guy sent me the message about the 211 30 and that's like just on another planet Of speed and it's it's simply Uh, amazing. So any thoughts about this drop? I'm gonna jump into the chat here if you have any questions um Let's see here um Oh and just makes a comment they definitely need to have easier standards because it allows those coming up to have a chance It makes it more interesting races if more unknowns are able to challenge for titles. Oh, and that's an interesting thought. So Yeah, basically, um, so the window to qualify Got is two months longer compared to the real olympics And so they're saying like that you have more chances to qualify So they're kind of walking the line there and then also the i double a f which helps my The i double a f basically creates these standards and um so I don't know. Oh, and I mean, I think like like for example a smaller country that doesn't have a have a lot of marathon experience like let's just grab one like Bolivia or um I don't know like a country Like the congo or I don't know just a country that you wouldn't typically see in the olympics Yeah, it does kind of make it very difficult if you don't have a ton of experience in the in those distances. So, um Kaley, do I have a good link to the standards? Oh goodness kaley. I will try and find one I don't think I can find it right now. I basically I actually found it on twitter So I don't know if that helps if you have twitter or not if you don't I will try to post it down in the in the uh description here after the live stream Um, so let's just see here. I know I missed a couple Uh, Sean says the new standards are Not so good to 1130 is so fast that only one american rup has ever done that in the last three years It's also faster than the national record for some even larger countries like india Whoa, that's crazy. So there's also I should qualify and say There are other ways to qualify for the olympics and let me just pull up um So the i double a f has a world ranking system And I don't under I don't fully understand how that world ranking system works But I I think if you you run a certain amount of races and You do well in those like there's other ways to qualify outside of those times But it definitely makes it very very difficult. Uh, I would say for a lot of people. So good Good point there. Um, josh says why would they do this now when some people already qualified bummer? Yeah Uh, yeah, I know um Let's see here. Um So trevor I I'm just I'm just reading through the chat here and oh my goodness. We are The welcome everyone here. That's that's here. Okay. Trevor says I don't really understand these standards in the past Anyone who had a 219 or better went to the trials in the top three went to the olympics. What happens now Trevor good question. Good question Trevor that's a very good. I don't I need to do some more research research. Um, Let's see here. Um Um So crazy crazy. Okay, so good a lot of good chatter happening. I can't monitor all of it, but Um Paraguay's national record in the marathon is 213. Nice very interesting I don't quite get it all. I don't know what they're thinking. Why so okay I'm gonna dive into the next topic which might ruffle some feathers even further. All right, so bear with me here Oh my goodness. This is all happening in like the last three four five days basically, um I'm gonna read something again as well the I the international amateur athletics federation the IAAF announced on monday In a year long review the international athletics governing body also decided that each Meet will scale. So there's the diamond. You got maybe you've heard of the diamond league So this is a series of track meets that happens every summer so The internet so basically they're scaling down The amount of track meets and the amount of events at these diamond league events And correct me if i'm wrong in the chat, but from what i've done based on the research that i've done They are eliminating I don't even want to I want to be cautious by saying and this is where highly gebra salasi was like not happy But I know I believe the 5k is done In possibly even the 10k Correct me if i'm wrong, but based on the research that I did today So the longest Event that will take place at some of these at these diamond league races Is going to be the 3000 meters What is going on here like that really ruffles my feathers because First of all, like I know like a 5k takes 13 minutes for the men and 14 you know sub 15 for the ladies and like yeah, it takes more time And you know what they're thinking they're thinking about dollar bills for commercials and keeping everybody's um Everybody happy that's doing the television. They want the meets to go faster and obviously like a 10k takes You know 27 minutes 26 minutes and then you know Around 29 minutes 30 minutes for the ladies. So it's absolutely insane Uh that you would ever consider eliminating the 5k and the 10k from an international track meet And again, correct me if i'm wrong Um, but maybe somebody could do some google searching right now, but uh, this is what I was reading today. So Basically, I don't want I don't want to be debbie downer when it comes to track and field But this is just kind of what's happening right now in the global track scene um Yeah, the global track scene blue color runner. Thank you as always for being here for the super chat Just trying just trying man trying to do that daily blog hustle, baby. So oh man shout out to blue color runner who's always here um Let's see here Let's see Let's see just checking in on the chat here So anyway bottom line, um, I love track I must say I I I probably love watching track more than I love racing track I will gosh if you get a chance Start saving money now To go watch The united states olympic trials When they are held at um in Eugene, oregon at the university of oregon It's really special. Um now the track has changed a lot. They've modernized the track a lot But it is, you know based on the lineage of you know, the docks and pre-fontain and just everything that um He did and and just like yeah everything that's happened up there in Eugene Like save your money now and try and buy some tickets and go watch Like the 800 and the 5k just like it's so fun to be there in those stands And I would do it in Eugene because sometimes they host the united state the us olympic trials in indiana Which is great as well nothing against indiana and indian apple in indian amp indianapolis But there's something really special about Eugene oregon and watching a track meet there at the university of oregon And uh, they have they still have some of the the the wooden the wooden bleachers And so everyone can stomp their feet and get loud as as they're coming down the back stretch kicking it in and so I watched some of my old Uh teammates from cu qualify for the olympics Uh at that track, so it's got a special place in my heart and I ran my 5k um And I ran my 5k PR at that track so uh hayward field I couldn't think of it for a minute hayward field So susanne says bs. I think it's because 10k takes too long and 1500 and 3000 is bogus full Yeah, I I mean it's it's crazy So It's crazy. I'm a little i'm a little perturbed. I'm a little perturbed Luke true love is not in the house tonight You know what she's actually watching uh peter pan with the boys inside so That's what she's up to uh, let's see Let's see Anthony asked what was that 5k pr it was a 14 46 which i'm pretty i'm proud of i'm proud of that Considering where I was in high school and what I was able to get down to But I had a ton of injuries in college and so I wish uh Anyway, I think I could have continued to drop that time if I would have stayed healthy I had a ton of stress fractures in college. Okay any other thoughts on track and field before we move it along and um Yeah before we move it along to Uh marathon discussion. I and again, thank you all for being here So let's see gabriel asked what is the amount of miles you do in a week when when getting ready for track I mean gabriel I probably should have been running more in high school Um, but I was probably around 30 miles a week in high school in college We bumped it bumped it way up because we were getting ready for a 10k race on the track Which is a lot harder than it sounds like going around the track What is it? Oh man now you're testing me 12 Yeah, it's like 25 laps basically 25 laps correct me if I'm wrong. I'm not the greatest at math, but um anyway, so Yeah, we we did high mileage we did high mileage um Trevor says track town pizza is a restaurant by the organ track that has a bunch of memorabilia. Yes, it is I've been there trevor. It's amazing. I heard the food is nothing special But the atmosphere is what people enjoy. Yeah, I don't really I don't remember the food at all I did. It's definitely just that cool atmosphere um, so Let's see here. Okay Let's move it along if that's okay. We uh, I did some good Preparation tonight, you know, I don't always have time to prepare my thoughts as well as I would like For the live streams, but tonight I today I had a some good time This is Ann you're probably right a lower mileage in high school probably did save my legs. Okay moving on to the marathon and Moving on to the marathon. So here we go As you can probably imagine and actually let me know in the chat right now if you are training for a marathon right now, um Whether it's in the next three months, maybe you're already prepping for like a late summer marathon Or who knows like you having the back of your mind?

Oh my goodness three high schoolers who sent me their stories and like really really needed Uh new like they have been running in the same pair of running shoes for Uh like 800 miles 900 miles Lots lots of miles on the same pair of running shoes and they couldn't afford new running shoes So thank you guys so much. All right, and a shout out to luke Um, thank you luke. Oh my goodness. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for these super chats Okay, diving in boston marathon. It is 32 days away It's on april 28th 2019 I am no, sorry. Sorry. Hold on. I'm looking at the wrong thing uh april 15th 2019 And basically i'll just put it out there. Maybe a little trivia. What year did the boston marathon start? Uh, i bet a lot of you know this answer but let us know a year in the chat And so last year, uh, it was a pretty crazy year as you many of you probably know A crazy storm rolled in Lots of rain cold weather. Um, as you know, the east africans Excuse me are dominating the world marathons around the world like the chicca all the all the major marathons and So it ended up being really cold. So the theory is that some of the, you know Ethiopians and kenyans and uh, who else uh, marocans and they just didn't have a great day So it allowed some other people to shine forth Perhaps we'll see what happens in a month from now, but desi linden Um desi linden from or desiree linden Um from the u.s. She ended up winning and then also I'm not going to say his name correctly yuki kawa uchi of japan He uh one on the men's side. So an american and a japanese Gentlemen, they were the winners of the boston marathon last year in 2018 Um desi ran, what did she run? I think she was like 233 Approximately don't quote me on that and then I don't see it here and then the japanese gentleman ran 215 So i'm very intrigued to see what happens in boston and another super check came in. Oh my goodness For helping so many people out. Thank you scott. Thank you scott. Thank you for that super chat So i'm intrigued to see what happens in boston and Some of our people here in this live stream are running it So if you are running the boston marathon, like what are your hopes tell us about your thoughts And i'm going to jump into the london marathon right now, but if in the chat Let us know and I should probably jump in. Yes 1897 was the first boston marathon and it was inspired by the 1896 london olympics, okay So 1896 the olympics happened over in london and then the people of boston were like wait a minute Well, maybe they wouldn't let let's do this. We got something here. Let's have a marathon in boston. So 1897 Was the Oh, so fred has won has ran boston. That's awesome. I've never been to watch. I've never been to run It is on my bucket list. Oh, so desi ran 239. Okay. Good to know good to know Let's see here. So Yes, yes. Yes. All right. Good stuff. Okay. So here we go london diving into the london marathon And I'll I'll continue to check into the chat Basically the london marathon is 45 days out Happening april 28th. So it's a sunday and I should just mention right now I'm hoping to do like a live stream Watch party somehow. Maybe we'll even do it in person for people in denver I don't know how we could wouldn't that be cool to like Rent not rent out but like get a spot with a tv Anyway, bottom line. I want to do a live stream I want to watch boston But I really want to watch london and you probably know why because kip chogi is coming back and yes He won the 2018 london marathon last year And on the lady side it was vivian chariot That was the 38th rendition or the the 38th london marathon So I thought london the london marathon was a little a little older But that means it started basically in 1970 so Kip chogi won and for all the londoners out there your homeboy Mo Farah He is going to be towing the line. I must say like I know I've been watching mo farah training I've been watching him training on instagram like I follow him on instagram and it looks like he's putting in some good work But it's kip chogi. So like can anybody take down kip chogi? I don't know. I don't know and actually let's get the discussion going right now in the chat Who you got in the london marathon? Does that sound good? uh, let us know so Anthony says london was hot last year. I think hopefully they get cooler temps anthony It was really hot and actually very dangerous. Like it ended up being kind of a disaster You're very you're right. You're spot on with that anthony. So um What else about the london marathon? So mary katani? Vivian chariot is going to be back uh bir han dibaba Those are on the lady's side and then on the I didn't write down actually all the men I just obviously kip chogi and mo farah. I'm curious about that battle Um, jordan says mo versus kip chogi is going to be great absolutely kip chogi all the way from benjamin democratic republic of chuck kip chogi No mo from susan It's going to be tough. It's going to be tough and there's some other listen There's like kip chogi and then there's mo And then there's like eight other guys that are like 203 203 204 204 204 204 205 So it's like it's a really Deep stack field. Um, anyway, it's going to be fascinating to tune in. Um Let's see here So Let's see here Yes, connor you are correct. Uh kip chogi it seems like he does kind of have super human powers and I'll just make the and I'm sure I'm sure many of you have already watched the documentary on the sub two hour uh effort or Challenge by nike where they tried to send some athletes under the two hour mark for the marathon if you haven't seen it It's done by national geographic and it was um, it was it's very it's very well done And of course it was you know promoting nike and promoting the four percent shoes. I get it, but kip chogi came close like he missed it by 26 seconds Breaking two hours and from what I've heard from what I've read from what I've seen and just it seems like kip chogi Is at another level right up here like a whole Another level like he's just like locked in and locked and loaded Between the ears when it comes to race day So it's going to be very intriguing and but I will say this He's not getting any younger. I think he's my age If not a little older and let if somebody knows I is he 34? I think he's 34, which I've heard 30, you know 30 to 34 is the kind of the nice window um, so Anyway, that's crazy. Okay. Any other questions about marathon racing coming up with boston with london Let me know in the chat. I will answer your questions about marathon Marathon racing and then we will um, we'll open it up to a live q&a But let's first wrap up the marathon if that's cool um Yes, the documentary is on youtube. Absolutely. It's like an hour maybe 55 minutes. It's really good. Uh, it's very good Um, he's 34 now. Yeah, I think I think thank you pat and benjamin. I think you are spot on with that Yeah, so you know time waits for no man as my uncle always says like we all Time moves along, but I bet he's still gonna be Uh, he's gonna be the favorite to win it. Um, oh, what is the documentary called? Sub 2 I actually don't know Sub 2 hour sub 2. I think it's something like that if somebody knows let us know um Yes, time waits for no man or woman. That's absolutely correct Um, fred says most important marathon workout question marks 16 miles at race pace fred I like I like that, uh, approach absolutely. So I mean fred you can answer this better than I can because I'm getting ready for my first marathon, but I would say, um I love I love I love tempo and threshold. I I'm not afraid to obviously do intervals and Uh track reap like hitting the track like I think that's important as well But there's nothing like a good solid Threshold run where you're just you're flirting that line of going Into anaerobic, but not too far like not definitely not pushing through and then yeah holding it for Man 60. I love your approach like 16 miles is basically what I'm It's like you're you seriously. It's like you're reading my mind because I'm doing three six nine 12 And then 15 basically for my approach to the marathon as far as a hard tempo run So anyway, good thoughts there fred. I appreciate it breaking to is the name of it. Okay. Good one. Thank you everybody um So yeah, james. I am hoping to break 2 19 I don't know. I mean I James it's a little bit of a dream, but like I did run 111 Uh solo at altitude last year Off of like 50 miles a week. So who knows we're just going to give it a go We're going to do our best and see what we can do um, okay, any other questions about Uh, an anthony asks anyone know how to watch london marathon in the united states. I'm very interested. I'm guessing anthony I'm probably going to pay for it. I'm guessing we're going to have to pay for it and stream it on our computer Um, is going to be my guess, but if anybody knows let me know that would be amazing um What kind of fuel and what amounts are you planning to use for cleveland seth Still experimenting for my marathon training and would appreciate your thoughts. So chris. I um I need to order some you can so i'm going to test out. It's it's there you Can um, and it's basically It's a drink. It's a mix and uh, like a gatorade powder And you put it in your water bottles and it's it's supposed to be a slower burning uh glucose based Uh powder So i'm gonna I need to really I need to order that in fact. Thank you for the reminder Um, I need to order a big tub of it or maybe I should probably start with a little one to see if I like it And then uh, but that's what I'm leaning toward as far as how often throughout the marathon See, that's what's nice about getting into the Elite field. Anyway, that's why I was really interested in grandma's because they set water bottles along the way for you And you can have anyway, but I'm just going to do my best with What they provide anyway, it's like cleveland marathon is not an elite Marathon so Yeah, I gotta figure that out. I gotta figure that out. Good notion Um, jordan says it will probably be on olympic network or embassy sports network. Oh, that's good to know That's a good that's good to know and I would like to watch it live Oh boy, that means it's gonna be late at night I just realized that because there is london's like six hours or four six hours ahead of new york city and anyway, um Let's see here Do you do upper body workouts for the marathon? I do I do I do some bench press I do some some uh, running arms in the gym. Um, so yeah, I even just do traditional I like traditional pull-ups just to yeah, get the uh, get the shoulders going. But yes, I do Uh, I do upper body work definitely not as much as core and lower body but good question and um Yeah, I'm actually going into the gym tomorrow. So who knows maybe I'll film Some of the uh, the upper body work tomorrow for you. Good question from fade dreams 97 Okay, so any other questions about the marathon? Let's see here Um, okay six. That's good to know susanne Um, josh says I take gels at mile eight 15 and 21 works for me plus gatorade gatorade. That's right. Nice. Okay Moving on. Let's open it up anything you want to ask me I've actually got a bunch of running shoes in the studio tonight. Um, and should we just do it right now? Okay, no, let's do questions first open q&a then I'm going to get to this box in just one minute Talk to you about that. But any questions you want to ask about training about shoes about nutrition about life about What's going on here in denver right now? And thanks for sticking around for uh, this live stream tonight Let's see um Marcelo My pr's, you know what there's a vlog if you go search on the home page of the youtube channel There's a vlog that talks about my pr's and just type in pr into the search and you'll be able to find that So, uh, oh my goodness here come the questions. Oh, man Okay, what's your favorite site for vlog music? Oh, okay. Nice I use art list Blue collar runner. That's my but you have to it's you have to you have to pay for it So art list is the one I like Um, angios. How's the merch coming angie? It's coming. Um, it's coming I just am running out of time is the bottom line. So thank you for Continuing to remind me. It's just kind of rough Trying to find time with everything is I need At some point. I know I'm gonna need some help, but um, what shoes do you plan on using for boston? Um, so I'm actually not racing boston and tom, but I am trying to figure out the shoe that I'm gonna wear um We've got we've got these two right here. Oh my goodness, wasn't that I had a good time Taking the oddy zero adios fours out Yesterday before the snow storm for 20 miles and um, yeah, I think probably many of you already saw that My thoughts on that shoe. Um, I'll just put it up there for a minute. Okay So let's see here Richard ask which colorado 14 or would you recommend as someone's first? Richard? I would do Excuse me mount beer stat or Or graze peak mount beer stat or graze peak for your first 14 or both are beautiful Both are pretty easy to hike mount Beer stat is I think four miles round trip or like four and a half mile. Hey, it's a it's a snow. Maybe it's five Okay, maybe it's five miles round trip. So it's not a big hike. Good question Uh, let's see here. Oh my goodness I'm just seeing that those super chats and again, jordan and luke and everybody else. Thank you for those super chats Okay, I'm trying to hear So fred says when is the sjd run camp in colorado, right? Fred, you know, what's crazy is I've actually thought about you know I've thought about like basically guiding Mountain runs so not really a camp but just like guiding, uh people on mountain runs I don't know What let me know what you think about that idea like if people wanted to come to colorado or even just people in denver That don't know how to quite get into the mountains and do trail running and like packing food and water and Anyway, it has crossed my mind fred. All right. Good one. All right How do you keep yourself focused on long runs? Oh man democratic republic of chuck I I often I tell myself that If I want to have fun on race day, I mean, this is one thing I do But I say to myself if I want to have fun on race day I know that I need to be here right now doing this long run And like I love to have fun on race day. I love to be as fit as possible and Just rock and roll But I know it's like race day can be kind of abysmal if you don't put in the work So that's like one thing I tell myself. Hopefully that helps answer a little bit um Let's see And alex I believe is in the house. Welcome alex. Good job getting out in the goggles today Will you run boston in 2020? I'd like to run boston or new york Or both because spring and fall right? Hey So let's do both. I would yeah, I mean, I think boston and new york for sure Um, could I do both? I'd be up for trying. Um, Let's see here What do I think about biking? I think it's good. I think biking is good good cross training I don't do it. Um, I do it. No, I don't really do it in the gym either But I think it's listen, especially as we get a little older and we need to save our knees a little bit I'm I would say I'm a little more of a fan of the of the uh the pool over biking But okay moving on here I don't um How important is it lifting for the 800 and 1600? And if so, what body areas should I be hitting? That is from donovan another lifting and gym question for the 800 and 1600 I think lifting is absolutely critical and I think almost even just as critical are explosive Plyometrics so like and then putting on a weight vest You know, I don't know how old you are donovan, but putting on eventually doing it with weight a weight vest and doing jumps and explosive exercises absolutely, um important Donovan so, um, good question Let's see here. All right. I know I missed some questions Um, estaban has your plantar fasciitis gotten better Yes, it has it's it's totally gone Now I I did do I I did it was released as many of you already know it was released in a race um, I felt it kind of give and go and And so, you know, I think I was actually pretty fortunate that that happened because I know plantar fasciitis can drag on and on and on and on Okay, so before we go Um, Scott asked how many running shirts is too many. I'm asking for her friend Never too many running shirts, right? Never too many Um, actually good question Scott. My brother, um His mother-in-law just made him a quilt With all of his old running t-shirts Isn't that a good idea? Like he had so many running t-shirts that she's like, hey She sews I guess and so she made him a quilt With all of his old running t-shirts like cut it up and put it on a quilt. Isn't that brilliant? I think that's a great idea um, okay So I'm actually going to give away a pair of running shoes. That's right So a pair of my old running shoes So guess what? Oh man, hold on. Whoa, hold on Don't want to knock that over. Okay, basically Here's how it's going to work Only If you are a seven and a half Only if you are a seven and a half men's shoe size Everybody else you have to be quiet. I'm sorry. I'm a seven and a half if you are a seven and a half men's Um, you're in luck because for the rest of my life I'm probably going to be giving away shoes, right shoes that I just Don't need and um, I have I had two pairs of these And I like these shoes, but I just I just don't need them and I'd rather somebody else use them, right? And they're brand new. They're brand new like I don't even think I wore them around the house I didn't even take them outside. So here's how it's going to work Um, here is how it is going to work. So if you are a size seven and a half men's And I don't know what that converts to ladies Because I've heard different things. Um, obviously lady's shoes usually run a little more narrow But anyway, everyone's foot is a little different I guess if you're a lady eight and a half You know I'd be open to it, but um So if you're a seven and a half get ready Um, I'm gonna type in the chat I'm gonna say go and basically the Hold on Basically the Fourth person Go the fourth person to put their name With seven and a half gets the shoes name Seven and a half gets the shoes Okay Name seven and a half gets the shoes the Did I say the fourth? Yeah the fourth person fourth person Fourth it's get you got to be seven and a half no range no range got to be seven and a half Got to be seven and a half seven point five in the chat. I don't see any yet. I don't see any yet Okay, there's there's one fourth person fourth person fourth Oh, maybe we don't have oh there's two I'm gonna be quiet for a minute. I'm gonna be quiet Okay Let's see Oh, okay next one. No, no, no, no Marcello Marcello, you were the fourth because we can't do repeats can't do repeats. Sorry if I didn't qualify that Marcello You win you win Uh, because it was ideal Sorry, it was uh, it was ideal ollie and then um It was ideal ollie and then it was uh Hold on and then how about how about tamu? Sorry if I'm not saying your names correctly. That was fun. Okay, Marcello You are seven and a half and listen that was just like something I came up with like 10 minutes ago So these are on cloud shoes and I will mail and so here's the deal Marcello You got to email me your mailing address. I will drop these in the mail for you tomorrow. They're on cloud shoes Um, they'll do the trick for you know, I'd say 200 miles you could easily get out of them I like the shoe and um You know, it's a good shoe. It'll do the trick for a little bit. Okay, so thank you guys for all that I know that was a little crazy. Um Uh, so nice, okay So I love you guys if you don't have any other questions I think we'll wrap it up here in a minute but if you do shoot any other question that comes in I will answer and um So cool, but Marcello again, you just got to email me Your mailing address and I will send those out to you tomorrow. All right Um, so Marcello, it is let's see. All right, I'll post I'll post it here I'll post it here Because because because I love you because I love you Sometimes I put my email out and uh, it gets a little crazy in the inbox if you know what I mean If you know what I mean So Mechanical asks, what are those nike halftights you always wear? my mechanical Basically, I got those halftights for free in college like they gave they gave them to us I have no clue what the model is. I apologize um Let's see Pat asks, how many pairs of shoes do I have? I don't know including the used old ones that are kicker kicker rounds I don't know probably like 25. I know it's a lot. I know it's a lot Um, estobon asked. Oh estobon. I already I already answered this. Yes planter fasciitis is good to go It's all gone all gone Uh, chris asked you ever get a haircut to help repair mentally for a fast race chris Absolutely, you want to know something else weird that I do and some of you this is actually a tip of the day I cut my fingernails and I cut my toenails But cut your toenails like two weeks before because you don't want to mess up your toenails The night before the race and get like a nasty like that could be really bad turn into a blister But I do take care you got to take care of your feet runners. We got to take care of our feet So that is a tip. That's a little uh trivia for you for down the road about how I get ready for a race but do it two weeks before so Anyway, not to go into too much detail, but so your toenail can grow grow back a little bit So this is so cool So cool. Thanks for being here everybody. Let's see Okay Thanks fred. I appreciate you being here Justin asked can you quickly explain how to run intervals? Oh boy, um, and susanne. I'll get to your question as well um Let's see how to run intervals so Justin I I must say I usually prefer to jog In between the intervals like like really really slow. So if I'm doing 1k repeats I don't like to like some coaches have the athletes stop I prefer to jog around, you know, if it's a minute or two minutes and um Just to keep the legs moving a little bit, but I realize some coaches want like complete recovery So if you're doing mile repeats and you take like four minutes in between each repeat or three minutes Usually you can become, you know, completely recover almost by then. Anyway, if that's what I do I like to keep keep moving a little bit um, anyway, that's a That's a tough question to answer unless yeah, but good email me if you have any other questions about interval training Suzanne when is my next race? So susanne, you're going to be proud of me um, so I'm going to be doing a 5k a 10k and a 10 miler before the marathon I was looking at some half marathons, but basically there's a 10 miler in three weeks Exactly before the cleveland marathon and it's got a lot of great competition So that's why I'm going to do that and then my next so I'm going to do a 5k But unfortunately, we just don't have a lot of great competitive 5k road races in the spring here in denver because there's so much like March in denver is the snowiest month of the year. It's not december not january It's march. So anyway, I'm going to jump in a 5k. I don't know what the competition will be like But I'm just going to jump in and let it rip. Um, I don't I'm looking right now So like all the st. patrick's day 5k's are this weekend But I think I want to wait till next weekend or the like march 30th approximately Um, good questions. Okay So you're welcome, justin Let's see jordan asks seth Do you always set up the camera then run back to it and pick it up then keep running? That seems a little inefficient. So jordan, I have a couple tricks that I do When it comes to filming the runs and um, it also depends on the day like I Okay, I I love I'll just tell you I'll tell you what I did. Yes today's vlog. Did you see it? Um, let's see. What was it about? Yeah, it was about the throttle and the uh, It was about opening up the throttle a little bit in these guys. So basically Jordan I I did 20 miles And then after the run I uh, I went back and filmed the shots. Okay with the big camera So it was like so I didn't I didn't uh, does that make sense? So there's there's ways to to get creative to to create the daily vlog. Anyway, um Thank you susan for being proud. Okay anything else that I missed here Oh, thanks everybody for being here. I know that was a great live stream And I just had a great time talking about track talking about the marathons and thank you all again for um The super chats helps a ton Absolutely inspiring. We're gonna keep giving shoes away over time. We'll do another shoe giveaway soon probably not next week, but soon and um Let's see here Let's see. So greg I will answer one more question greg. He asks uh Injured college jr. Been out of the game since last june have been getting down and antsy about my time in the nc Double a running out any tips on staying motivated through long-term injuries? Oh, so sorry greg. I literally Lived that when I was at cu. I what you just said there um, I mean greg I must say like For cross-country what kept me motivated was you know competing for the team You know trying to help the team that helped me a lot Uh, greg I'll just put it out there. I kind of wish I would have taken Post collegiate running a little more seriously I took like four or five years of just chilling out Meaning like I think I could have Anyway, I wish I would have explored the marathon distance a lot a lot sooner You know in my mid 20s as opposed to like early 30s. So greg Like I don't know don't be afraid to um Don't be afraid to you know, keep the long-term game plan At the you know in your mind like yeah collegiate, you know It's like you want to do well in college, but also Don't don't forget like life. There's still a lot of running after college is what I'm trying to say I I I'm sorry you're injured and um, so hopefully that helps a little bit. All right. Love you guys. You're the best Thanks for being here. Thanks for watching signing off in the studio and uh seek beauty work hard And love each other and I don't know how to turn this thing off I love you guys.
