My quotation wasn't meant to be Clay bashing. It was meant literally. He basically confirms that things get in his head and interfere with his pitching. This has been a constant theme with him. The old days of the OCD moves to first base with men on etc etc. He does a lot better when the...
"The last three or four starts, I've been around long enough to know if you're not doing your job it's a business and they have to find somebody who is going to do better. So that weighs on you a little bit knowing that every day you have go out there and you have to throw better than you have,"...

I'll be...

It's a 12 week schedule meant to get you ready or keep you sharp before commencing an 18 week Marathon Training schedule.
I like Higdon's plans. I'm using his advanced 1 marathon plan to prepare for...
I think we will be seeing the modifier normalizing again in a few years. My observations have been that Marathons are almost all adding a half marathon distance and it is by far the most popular distance. Also it is the race component that generates the most income. From a quick check of the KC...
I have run the half before. It's Kansas City and it has three 200 ft gradual ascents 3 10 and 20. I've been training on hilly terrain with one run where I get two shots at a 300 foot ascent over 8 miles. It's not the friendliest course but I am cautiously optimistic. I have a backup attempt in...
Been a while but I am about to start my taper for the Kansas City Marathon. This is a Boston Qualifying attempt for me. I will be 55 in 2017 so my qualifying time time is 3:40.
I've been training with Pfitzinger and Douglas Advanced Marathon with up to 55 miles a week with a goal of 3:30. The...

Recently I have changed up my eating and running routines. Eating more often and smaller throughout the day. If I am running in the AM I usually have a bagel and cream cheese about 90 minutes prior. If it's a lunch time run I usually have a banana and a big handful of plain mini shredded wheat...
Ran the Great Plains 10k on the 8th in Kansas City. I ran a 51:50 for an 8:22 pace. Also a post 50 PR. The course was nice and flat the weather was perfect. I was using the race as a fitness check. My Idea is to carry the 8:22 into my half marathons. I am running a 39.3 challenge with races on ...
