What Does A Speed And Endurance Test Run Get You?

ByTim Nolte July 26, 2018

No training with my running partner this morning as he is doing a 5k this evening. Not a huge problem since I was needing to do a short speed & endurance test run this morning. We’ll see how it affects the rest of the training plan. Unfortunately, these sorts of runs end up resulting in me focusing only on the run and not much else. Since I got up at the normal training run time I should have some extra non-running quiet time to morning. #HWI #GRMarathon #Run4Water

Short Easy Tuesday Training Run
ByTim Nolte June 11, 2019June 11, 2019
The #Endomondo training plan called for a short easy run this morning, which really meant for a much slower pace then I ended up averaging. Of course I started out on the right track but as my running time increased so do my speed. It still felt easy, and my heart rate reflected that. The real take away is that I need to work on controlling my pace. I’m pretty sure I can’t sustain that sort of pace for a full marathon. During my run I was reminded of the friends and family I know with medical needs, and lifted them and their families up in prayer. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRMarathon Donate to Clean Water: https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr

Breaking Out The Facemask For A Chilly Interval Run
ByTim Nolte January 9, 2020
With as cold and windy as it was the previous day, for a short 3+ mile run, today’s temperature and longer run definitely called for putting on the facemask. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus Almost a couple of years ago now, I had the honor to travel to Sierra Leone Africa, and witness first hand the impact that clean water has. If you ever have the opportunity to take a trip like that it’s one you can’t pass up. In some ways, unless you’ve actually been there first hand to experience it, it can be very hard to really understand what it means, and the life change that occurs, from access to clean water. Can you imagine the possibilities of a world where everyone has access…

A Quick 5K For The Children
ByTim Nolte July 3, 2019
Every mile the #HWI Team runs is a commitment to bring clean water to those in need in Africa. Villages like Ronkorhun where there are not only families but a school. However, children can’t attend school if they must spend their days walking to gather water. #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRMarathon Donate to Wells in Africa: https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr

Two Weeks Since Groundhog
ByTim Nolte February 16, 2019February 16, 2019
It’s hard to believe that it was 2 weeks ago that I did the Groundhog Day Marathon. It’s been nice to get back into a running routine this past week. Do to so e family things going on I wasn’t able to make it to run with those from the #HWI team. Hopefully I’ll be able to make some time soon. This morning while I listened to the worship music I was thinking about the next #SierraLeone team. I prayed that God would bring just the right people together for this trip. #Run4Water #WhyIRun #RiverBankRun

Kicking Off A New Training Plan
ByTim Nolte November 25, 2019
After still not quite getting much in for running the last two weeks I decided to just start a new training plan. For me, I need the motivation of a plan. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a matter of if I don’t have a plan I won’t run, it does make it harder, but it really comes down to just not wanting to have to figure what I’m going to run every morning. With a training plan there is no question of what am I going to run, I don’t have to think about it, I just get out there and do what the plan says. Besides starting a new training plan, something that was said to me the night before, in regards to…
