Get in killer shape. Train in the winter and run some spring 1/2 marathons before the Ragnar Relay races.

Personal:

I've been running for most of my life. I ran track in college and got into long distance running a few years ago. I did my first marathon at L.A. in 2006.

I work full time as a race director for the Ragnar Relay team. We put on the Wasatch Back Relay, along with 3 other races each year in Minnesota, Washington, and Arizona. It's a challenging job- especially in the summer when so much travel is required.

Craig, my long-time training partner, has been trying to get me to join this site for a while. He keeps talking about Sasha, the "running prophet". So here I am.

I'm married (Trevor) and have a 3 year old boy (Jackson).

I am just starting with this blog today.  I have been training for marathons for the last four years, but I have not seen as much improvement as I had expected.  Through some friends, I heard about this site and have decided to run according to Sasha's standards, which is 6 times a week (I had been running the three times a week program, a hill workout, speed workout and long distance run).  I started running 6 days a week two weeks ago at 3 miles a day and I have increased this week to four miles a day. 

Today I met with my personal trainer this morning for an hour, then ran on the treadmill for four miles.  I increased the incline to 2% and ran at a 8:00 to 7:30 pace.  I hate treadmills, but I was in a hurry to get to work so I had to give in and do it.

Welcome to the blog! I think I met you at Top of Utah expo. I've been working with Dan and Tanner for the last couple years on the Ragnar course maps as a sponsor. It's great to have a Ragnar staff on the blog. Lots of us on the Blog run the races. I'm planning on doing WBR again this year, and also NWP.

Welcome, I really think this site can help with bring down that marathon time as well as give you motivation to train on those days you just don't want to because you know someone is watching your every move. Scary hu.
