Running Seneca 7

The Seneca7 is an amazingly fun relay race that covers the entire distance around scenic Seneca lake.  The number of teams has grown quickly and a lot of familiar faces showed up which was nice to see.  It is an all day race…our team took about 8 hours to run the 77.7 miles

I was in the first slot this year, leading the charge out of the gate.  We took 5th place overall, and 2nd place int the mixed team standings which meant that we got goodies at the end!

Each leg was profiled on Seneca7.com

There was a lot of fun to be had.  Some teams ran in skirts.  Others planted chicken feet as a message or warning…im not really sure.  Our team had fun passing most of the competition!

My team was filled with real runners.  Track athletes in college.  We had a track coach, and a Boston qualifier who ran in the Boston Marathon the weekend previous.

They have track workouts on Tuesday and Thursday.  And when you are around people who are really into something it makes you think, hmm…I should do more.

I signed up for the YMCA Sprint Triathlon on June 8th.  Its a race that I ran a few years ago in my first triathlon ever.  I’ve also started following the Advanced training plan from Hanson’s Marathon Method.  I know what my VO2Max is and that it is useless to me except to gauge some form of progress.  More worthwhile is knowing the difference and purpose of Speed, Strength, Tempo, Long, and Easy runs that compose a complete marathon training program.  I’ve an idea the different types of muscle fibers and what happens when Anaerobic Threshold is reached.  With a plan, and software to keep me honest, I will chase a 3:30 marathon and then look ahead to an Ultra sometime soon!
