Staying On Track With My Training Runs

ByTim Nolte February 4, 2021February 4, 2021

It was a typical short and easy training run this morning. I’ve been able to keep things on track this week. I still need to work on getting to bed earlier so I can get more sleep. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #RiverBankRun

Preflight Long Run
ByTim Nolte December 28, 2018
Since our family was flying to Minnesota very early the next morning I decided to get my long run in the night before. It started out very strange because as I ran I felt like I was slowly trudging along but when my audio coach gave me updates it was saying I was doing a pace under 9 min/mi which just didn’t seem possible. Then for the first half of the run I was just cruising. The second half of the run was a very different story. I’m not sure why I just hit the wall but it happened. I eventually decided to cut the run short at a half marathon distance. Giving how slow my pace was the last few miles I expected a…

A Little 14 Mile Run Before Starting The Day
ByTim Nolte November 9, 2018
With a 5K race on Saturday morning, and a breakfast meeting cancelled, I got my 14 Mile long run in this morning before work. I’m glad to have gotten it done and will have a bit more of a break before the 5K. It did throw off much of my morning routine so we’ll see how the day goes. #HWI #Run4Water #GroundhogDayMarathon

The Return Of The Running Selfie

Donate to Clean Water: https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRMarathon Things felt good this morning, especially with the cooler temperature. I’m hopeful that today’s run is a sign that my Saturday long run will go better this week. No matter whether we have a “bad” day or a good one, just getting out there and putting in some miles shows our commitment to the cause. Ultimately, more wells in Africa is the real goal regardless of how a training run goes. I haven’t seen any donations come in for my $1000 goal yet but I’m hopeful that someone will be inspired and moved to join with me every time I share.

Warm-up and Cool Down For Running – Video
ByTim Nolte March 9, 2017
These are all things I need to start doing. By God’s grace I haven’t got any injuries yet but if I keep pushing myself and don’t do the things I should I’m going to hurt myself and then I’ll be out for running altogether.

Wee Early Morning Run
ByTim Nolte December 19, 2018
Well, this morning was not a typical training run. With having to start work at 5:30 in the morning my focus was mostly on getting done as quick as I could. I did take some time at the end of my run for some prayer time, so it wasn’t a total loss. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus Donate to Clean Water – https://timn.me/2t9D4ne

Running Your First Marathon
ByTim Nolte February 8, 2017February 8, 2017
While I’m not actually training for a marathon right now, as my first actual race is to be the Fifth Third River Bank Run 5K, I think this is good stuff to start thinking about. I am looking to do the Grand Rapids Half Marathon in the Fall and I will need to work on a lot of these points.
