I'm trying to get a few longer runs in during the week in the Santa Monicas where I do 2-3 climbs of 2-4 miles at a time, not nearly as steep. I'll probably do a few 25-30 milers in the SMMs before May as well - one being PCTR's SMM 50k. That said, there really is no substitution for the wicked shape climbing hard at elevation gets me in; so personally, that will still be the bulk of my weekend training. Right now, I've got a bone to pick with Bear Canyon:) It's funny how much my pace drops on the less steep climbs now - I surprised the shit out of myself running up Westridge yesterday, going a full minute per mile faster than normal.<br /><br />Finally, I have no idea where boomshakeday came from, but it's more appropriate than walking around saying, "FUCK YEAH!" 'Cause it means the same thing.<br /><br />See you soon! And who cares about miles..... it's about the vert, man.katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03367153184816375965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474770936671895749.post-52946673396277787702012-02-01T07:24:40.207-08:002012-02-01T07:24:40.207-08:00Good stuff Katie.

Most of my training, and a lot of yours is spent going straight up, Front Range or similar type stuff, then coming straight down. The climb on the way up is a lot steeper that what we'll be running in our upcoming races, you: Miwok, WS, me: Ray Miller, Miwok.<br /><br />Do you think we need to sneak in running up and down in the flatter mountains on shorter climbs? I'm kinda wanting to do this a little, but of course I enjoy steeper longer climbs so I don't really do it much. While I do think that climbing stuff steeper than you race will be good for you on race day, I would also like to throw it down on less steep stuff to confirm to myself that I will be able to do it on race day.<br /><br />Whatchu think about that?<br /><br />Oh, and where's boomshakedaddy come from? I'm more familiar with boomshakalaka.<br /><br />You ran more miles than me in January... show off.<br /><br />Take care now.Chris Pricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14380928191719965853noreply@blogger.com
