Kofuzi Run Club

I went to Strava Camp. AMA

got a new shoe in from La Sportiva. I might actually be able to run in this one

I ran Tiger Claw 50k 2024. It was hard.

London Marathon didn't quite go as I had hoped, and I finally sit down with my coaches to debrief and troubleshoot. The early elevated HR definitely signaled that something was wrong. What exactly it signaled, I'm still not sure. But we go over some things that it could have been that, either alone or taken as a whole, could help explain what went wrong. 0:00 intro 2:59 headspace going in to the race 6:38 working during a taper 10:30 how I felt during the race 14:53 elevated HR 18:14 feeling cold 20:20 I'm a half tights guy 22:40 poor meal planning 27:54 too many beers? 30:59 tweaking the training plan 35:35 plan moving forward For further detail: Strava: https://www.strava.com/activities/11231514057 London Marathon Race video: https://youtu.be/flAQNO5CGJ0?si=y9Ip2z9QS_jlTDaO London Marathon Runner's Weekend: https://youtu.be/ClfMSlVzi64?si=CmNmyeds1NkBIn0F Find Sage and Sandi: Coaching at Higher Running https://higherrunning.com Sage on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCh_w_vLvlZNBeTAP8qaWhoA Sandi on IG https://www.instagram.com/sandinypaver/

they sent a large box

Mizuno sent an unusually large package.

slowly getting back to normal

so many packages

this one is a big one. literally.

No trivia today, but I've got a backlog of packages. I really thought the one would be a camera, but it wasn't.

Just got back from a very long trip of Boston Marathon, London Marathon, and Road to Records in Germany.
