A Little Bit of Hill Training

ByTim Nolte

I haven’t run into a race course yet that didn’t have some hills. When you are training it’s important to do some hill training if you don’t want to get caught off guard with hills during your race.

Between sidewalks and paved trails, we are pretty blessed with the conditions we have to run in. In stark contrast, for most in the road to water is dangerous. When a well is put in a village it brings the water to a safe place for all.

    When A Run Turns Into A Fight, With Yourself

    ByTim Nolte
    This morning wasn’t hard because of the weather, the terrain, or my physical state, this morning my run was consumed with a battle of my emotions and an ugly part of me that rears it’s head every now and then. Unfortunately, I spent little time during my run in worship or prayer, most of it was spent asking God to change my heart. I have struggled with grace taking a back seat when life gets tough, when I’m faced with the reality of an imperfect world. I quickly turn to frustration and anger. It’s a side of me that I’m ashamed of and generally ends up turning my thoughts against myself with feelings of negative self worth and the desire to just run away from…

    A Little Early Morning Half Marathon

    ByTim Nolte
    Sticking to the #Endomondo training plan meant getting up before 4am to get 13 miles of running in before my wife needed to leave the house by 6:15. I can say that I was overjoyed having to get up so early, but the alternatives were even less appealing. One thing that something like a time commitment, making sure I was home so my wife could leave, does is give you extra motivation to keep up the pace. And that was definitely going through my mind several times. I’m not 100% certain why but my pace slowed slightly after I hit about mile 9. I do think I made it harder on myself because I didn’t take salt tablets before the long run, nor during. I…

    Doing The Long Winter Run

    ByTim Nolte
    Got in good long run in this morning, with the help of my running partner. I was thankful to not have to do the whole 18 miles alone. It felt good to know that even in the winter I can do that long of a run. The last couple of miles was a push, but I was also about out of water, so that didn’t help matters. Looking forward to more winter runs in the future. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus

    Back In The Saddle After Marathon Rest Week

    ByTim Nolte
    So I wasn’t sure where to start after taking a week off after the Groundhog Day Marathon but I did need to get into a 25K training plan to prepare for the River Bank Run coming up in May. Naturally I took to #Endomondo to outline a customized training plan, so 8.8 miles for today is what was called for. It felt great to be back out putting some miles in again. I was missing the extra quiet time, and the extra time to just be in worship and open dialogue with God. It’s a lot easier to hear God speak when you are out early in the morning, in the dark, on a run with none of the hustle and bustle of life at…
