Brothers Inspire and Share Life Lessons Through Endurance Sports: Kyle and Brent Pease of the Kyle Pease FoundationToday, we have an especially inspiring episode in our Year of the Zebra series on rare conditions featuring Kyle Pease and his brother Brent, who recently helped each other complete the 140.6 mile Ironman World Championship in Hawaii, a challenge they also took on together in 2018. What makes their story extraordinary is that Kyle, who was born with cerebral palsy and spastic quadriplegia, participated in these races with Brent's assistance, making them the first push-assist brother duo to finish the grueling competition. With over 125 endurance races under his belt, Kyle has become a leading disability advocate, demonstrating resilience and breaking barriers through sports. “Competing really reminds me of my life. I go through many ups and downs throughout my day just as I do in this sport. You get through a lot of different challenges throughout the competition by just focusing on the idea that anything is truly possible,” he tells host Lindsey Smith. To amplify their message of inclusivity and determination, the brothers co-founded the Kyle Pease Foundation which sponsors races and other awareness building events and they deliver speeches to a variety of organizations to share the lessons they've learned. “We want to encourage people to figure out what their finish line looks like. What are the things you work for and how do you get there,” says Brent. Tune in for an uplifting conversation to learn about the Foundation's workforce inclusion program, their book, Beyond the Finish, and the “secret weapon” that makes their racing and other endeavors possible.Mentioned in this episode:Kyle Pease FoundationBeyond the Finish
Born with cerebral palsy, Kyle Pease knew his life was different and understood he would always need help but believed he could do everything others could do. His family believed the same and chose a mindset of relentless optimism to focus on what he can do vs cant't do. He graduated from Kennesaw State University with a degree in sports management and partnered with his brother Brent Pease for a creer total 125 races including making history as the first push-assist brother duo to complete the IRONMAN World Championship in Kona, Hawaii. While Brent's resume includes 11 Ironman events and several 70.3 and Olympic distance triathlons, he shares countless examples of being physically broken needing his brother, Kyle to work even harder mentally to inspire them both to realize, “where there's a wheel, there's a way!” Like many siblings, Brent and Kyle tease eachother, yell at eachother and show unconditional love for eachother. Through their nonprofit, the Kyle Pease Foundation, they have championed more than 100 athletes across 1000+ events and raised more than $10 million in aid. They have offered support through programs such as scholarship opportunities, purchasing adaptive sports equipment and participating in educational campaigns about cerebral palsy and other disabilities. By going through this journey together, they have both become better brothers, better friends and better men by becoming better, “one mile at a time. “ @bpease9, @thekylepeasefoundation

When two worlds collide in the realm of endurance sports, extraordinary things happen. Such is the case with Kyle and Brent Pease, brothers who conquer Ironman challenges together despite the hurdles thrown their way by Kyle's cerebral palsy. Our conversation with them isn't just about athletic prowess; it's a profound narrative of inclusion, family bonds, and the tireless pursuit of breaking down barriers. Witness the Pease brothers transcending the expected, transforming the endurance sports landscape, and their heartfelt tribute to the legendary Hoyts, whose legacy paves the way for athletes with disabilities.The Pease brothers take us behind the scenes of their meticulous preparations, from emergency simulations in the water to Kyle's tailored nutrition strategies. Their shared experiences, from childhood inclusivity to trailblazing roles within the endurance community, illustrate the power of unity and persistence. These narratives resonate with anyone who faces life's adversities head-on, offering a masterclass in resilience.As we pivot towards the role of inclusion off the race track, the Pease Foundation's mission comes into focus. They're not just about supporting athletes during competitions; they're changing lives by providing financial empowerment for those with disabilities. And when the Pease brothers talk about the anticipation leading up to Disney races and the significance of amusement mixed with competition, it's clear that sport is more than just a physical pursuit—it's a celebration of human spirit and shared victories. Whether you're lacing up for your first marathon or simply cheering from the sidelines, this episode showcases the true essence of inspiration and determination.Let Registered Dietitian Carissa Galloway lead you through a science-backed plan to transform the way you think about your diet.

It's a really long episode, so it's ok if you need to break it into parts. Haha!

The Atlanta Story podcast features meaningful stories of Atlanta's builders, creators, and entrepreneurs. In this episode Jon Birdsong sits down with Kyle and Brent Pease of the Kyle Pease Foundation. Born and raised in Atlanta, Kyle Pease never let being diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy get in the way of living a normal life. Baseball, wrestling, and swimming were some of the many activities Kyle and his two brothers all grew up doing. As his older brother, Brent, started competing in triathlons, Kyle asked him: “Can people in a wheelchair do triathlons?” The answer was a resounding “Yes!” Since then, Kyle and Brent have run triathlons, marathons, and more. The climax was crossing the finish line in Kona -- the SuperBowl of triathlons. In today's episode, Kyle and Brent share insights into perseverance, training, growing awareness around athletes with disabilities, and more. The Atlanta Story is put together by the folks at Atlanta Ventures -- and we can't wait to share some of the personalities behind the brand. Atlanta Ventures invests in entrepreneurs through community, content, and capital -- most notably through our Studio with companies like Greenzie and Intown Golf Club.

“I started crying. It was so intense. I was shaking with fear. And I just look up at Kyle, and I say, ‘I want you to know that being your brother has been one of the greatest joys of my life. And I promise you, no matter what happens today, I'll give you every ounce of energy that I have. And all I ask is that you do the same.' And he looks back at me and says, ‘You got it.' And then the cannon fires.” —Brent Pease In 2010, Brent Pease completed his first Ironman triathlon. That night, his younger brother, Kyle — who was diagnosed with cerebral palsy as a child — asked if someone in a wheelchair could do an Ironman. Brent said yes, and the rest, as they say, is history. Growing up, the Pease family was insistent that Kyle be able to do whatever his brothers were doing. They would play games, make up the rules, and adjust them as they went along, making sure the game was fair for everyone. Inclusion, the brothers say, was always a part of their lives. (One of their mottos is "where there's a wheel, there's a way.") Today, Brent and Kyle are known around the world as one of the most competitive duo teams at triathlons and marathons. They've completed major marathons (they talk about the 2015 New York City Marathon on this episode — have your tissues ready), and they've competed together at the Ironman World Championships in Kona. (They became the first push-assisted team of brothers to do so. Proof indeed that someone in a wheelchair absolutely can do an Ironman.) They are also the founders of the Kyle Pease Foundation, whose mission is to improve the lives of people with disabilities through sports. It's an honor to have them on the show, together, today.

It is the ultimate story of brotherly love. One brother is completely disabled, but the two of them together are athletic champions. Kyle & Brent Pease are this week's guests on Amazing Americans. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
“Every PR I've set has been behind the wheelchair with my brother, you know, and absolutely, I'm 100% a better athlete because of him. He was already something that motivated me my entire life and every area of my life. Kyle talks about wanting to leave things better. He made me want to be a better person.”—Brent PeaseOur guests today are Kyle and Brent Pease, two brothers who do triathlons, including the ironman distance, as a tandem. Brent and Kyle are many things: brothers, Ironman triathletes and philanthropic leaders. What makes their athletic feats so special is their partnership as brothers committed to a journey meant to inspire everyone they meet along the way. Kyle, who has quadriplegia with spastic Cerebral Palsy, uses a wheelchair full-time and competes with his older brother Brent in endurance sports. Just as their memoir title states, their story is a reflection of passion, brotherhood and relentless determination. It's easy to assume that Brent is the one who pushes and inspires Kyle, but that the reality is they seem to inspire each other equally. Their story and this conversation will reinforce the notion that sports is a powerful change agent, empowering all who participate. And that we are more unlimited than we often allow ourselves to imagine.Show Notes(3:32) Three brothers growing up on Sports Center…(7:06) A wide spectrum that falls under Cerebral Palsy…(9:03) Mental energy required for Kyle to compete…(11:09) Buildups and breakthroughs—two brothers training together…(17:52) “Triathletes that compete at a high level are doing some type of strength (training), but for Kyle and I, that's critical.

Griz Greats: The Silver Anniversary of the 1995 National Champions
Brent Pease was a record-setting quarterback during his time playing for the Montana Grizzlies. During the middle and end of his professional playing career in the early 1990s, the Moscow, Idaho native returned in the off-seasons to help coach various offensive positions on Don Read's staff. Pease, who went on to become an offensive coordinator at several Power 5 schools including Kentucky, Baylor and Florida, primarily worked with quarterbacks during Montana's 1995 run to the national championship, meaning Pease had a key hand in developing Walter Payton Award winner Dave Dickenson.
Meet an inspiring lady who accomplishes much in her day and authored a book —Fear No Distance— to share her story that you can redefine yourself many times throughout life. Labeling yourself in just one way can be a danger zone in life because if that label gets taken away, then you are left with nothing. We get deep into the emotions of an athlete in this episode. Wife, entrepreneur, and athlete makes a busy day at the start. Meet Danielle (Dani) Grabol. This episode is the perfect inspiration to get moving as we end one year and head toward another. The world changed for Dani, both personally and professionally, and we dive into the emotions of the day to day. She’s in a business that helps older adults to live more independently and this year proved a challenge. If you have an older parent in your life, you’ll find interest as we talk about the geriatrics field and some of the motivations. Dani took her own health, not just how she looked externally, rather she thought of her work and people who have taken care of themselves and that’s when she had a major shift on what she wanted her life to look like. When Dani began she wasn’t confident enough to go to a gym, but she’s worked her way into triathlons and she pushes to the next limit. Motivated and driven—pushing and competing with herself. Reframing how she saw food, Dani began to see the relationship between food and how she felt helped her break through the barrier of deprivation. As an athlete, she is fueling her body with food as she puts good things in her body and expects it to perform. The focus is on balance. Want to figure out how you will age? You can look at your parents and see what the likelihood of your health will become. There is a lot in life that we can’t control, but you can control what you put into your body. We might not have eating disorders but we might have disordered eating. As an athlete, Dani is the first female to participate in the Epic Five. The race is five days, five islands of Hawaii and five full iron-distance triathlons. 12 miles of swimming, 560 miles of biking and 131 miles of running over five days. There have been more races and she shares the thought process and training regimen and priorities. Committed to the Kyle Pease Foundation, Dani serves on their board of directors. Kyle Pease Foundation was founded in 2011 by brothers Kyle & Brent Pease after they completed their first triathlon. Kyle says that there are no excuses and he uses his life to accelerate other people and we can all do so much. How we frame situations is in our control. Tune in to this episode.

This week our Guests include Charles F. Peebles, DPM, a podiatrist, and partner at Atlanta Foot & Ankle Center. Also joining us is Brent Pease, Founder & Executive Director, Kyle Pease Foundation & Camp Wheel-A-Way.
Kyle and Brent Pease are Ironman triathletes, authors, and co-founders of the Kyle Pease Foundation. The pair competed in the 2018 Kona World Championships - becoming the second ever able + disabled duo to cross the finish line. The Pease brothers started racing together in 2011 with the St. Anthony’s Triathlon in Florida. They raced for 7 years as a pair before competing in Kona, completing 3 Ironman races along the way. They discuss what it’s like being on the journey together: “That’s what we love so much about this. We get to be on that journey together, and training is a big part of it. We decided early on that this was not going to just be: ‘How strong can Bret get to carry a human?’ but: ‘How strong can both of us get mentally and physically?’” Brent trains 25 hours a week, training over-distance to account for the extra time it takes on race-day to complete the course together. Tune in to hear how Kyle prepares for race day, and how he takes on the role of coach to support and encourage his brother across the finish line. Kyle and Brent founded the Kyle Pease Foundation two months after completing their first triathlon. They were overcome with the feeling of crossing the finish line, and immediately began thinking of ways to support others to join them. They have since supported 84 individuals across 500 finish lines. Listen to hear what is next for the brothers, how their journey has impacted their lives beyond sport, and what is making their hearts beat faster. “Worry about 9 seconds at a time.

In this episode I have the privilege to interview two amazing brothers. Kyle and Brent Pease. These brothers completed the Hawaii ironman in 2018 in a time of 14:23. What makes these guys incredibly special is the fact that Kyle is a spastic quadriplegic with cerebral palsy. When big brother Brent completed his first ironman....Kyle asked Brent if people in wheelchairs could compete in Ironman....Brent said absolutely and the rest is history. I hope you enjoy this podcast as much as I enjoyed chatting with these 2 incredibly special people. Enjoy! Todd

We've never sat in the same room with anyone more inspirational than these two brothers - Brent Pease and Kyle Pease. Theirs is a story of PASSION, BROTHERHOOD and RELENTLESS DETERMINATION. Today's episode will make you laugh, cry and ultimately leave you inspired. Inspired to strive to be better no matter what challenges and obstacles you are faced with. Kyle Pease was diagnosed with cerebral palsy as a child - While his condition limited his ability to play sports, it didn't dampen Kyle's passion for them, nor did it stop the Pease family from including Kyle in various excursions. After witnessing Brent complete his first IRONMAN competition, Kyle asked Brent a life-changing question: Can people in wheelchairs do IRONMAN? Brent never hesitated with his response. The answer was a resounding YES. Now after competing at the IRONMAN TRIATHLON WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP in Kona, Hawaii they visit SPATIAL AWARENESS to share their story of their journey, what inspired them to create their foundation THE KYLE PEASE FOUNDATION and all of the ups and downs they've shared together.

In 2018, Kyle and Brent Pease completed an amazing accomplishment, becoming the first brother duo to complete the Hawaii Ironman. Diagnosed with cerebral palsy as a child, Kyle Pease had grown up supporting his athlete brothers Brent and Evan from the sidelines. While his condition limited his ability to play sports, it didn’t dampen Kyle’s passion for them, nor did it stop the Pease family from including Kyle in various excursions. From rolling his wheelchair up Bridal Veil Falls in Yosemite National Park to zipping down Colorado snow slopes, there was never a dull moment with the Pease brothers. Where there was a wheel, there was a way to adventure. Upon witnessing Brent complete his first IRONMAN competition, Kyle asked Brent a life-changing question: “Can people in wheelchairs do IRONMAN?” Brent never hesitated with his response. I watched these two brothers cross the line in Kona last year and while I was emotionally touched and astounded by their achievement, I hadn’t really contemplated exactly what sort of challenges they face during any triathlon, let alone an Ironman in Hawaii. If you listen closely you might hear my voice break up a little at the end and I think it’s hard not to be a bit emotional when you listen to this conversation. This truly was one of the most rewarding and insightful podcasts I have done to date. We talked about a lot of things, including: How Kyle had to tell twin brother Evan that he was “holding them back” Swimming the 3.8k Ironman Hawaii course in 1:07 towing a small dinghy with your brother inside Just how much power do you need to pedal a bike that weighs 180kg (Bike + Brent + Kyle) How Kyle keeps Brent focussed during the bike and run Why Kyle need to focus on nutrition during an Ironman just as much as Brent The emotion of crossing the Kona finish line Writing a book and having to wait until you race Kona to get it finished To find out more about these two amazing brothers please visit the website for the Kyle Pease Foundation Read about their incredible life story in their new book “Beyond The Finish” ** When you buy a copy all of the money goes to the foundation.

Kyle and Brent Pease are the ultimate "no excuses" brothers. Kyle was born with cerebral palsy with spastic quadriplegia, but that did not define anything in his life.

That's right - they completed an IRONMAN triathlon together (that's a race consisting of 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike ride, and a 26.2 mile marathon). In this heart-warming and inspiring podcast, Meredith sits down with the brothers in a story that will inspire, awe and make you belly-laugh.

Our interview this week is with coach Billy "The Kid" Edwards who joins us to talk about the https://www.sostriathlon.com/ . A few weeks ago we had a discussion about whether athletes preferred the standard distance and sequence triathlon races, or if they preferred the less standard races - races that are more unique and creative. Well SOS fits the bill of the later for sure. The SOS is an eight stage triathlon held in New Paltz, NY every September. Consistently ranked among the best adventure triathlons in the world, and among the most scenic, the SOS has become so popular the event sells out in minutes.

Billy also coaches and consults competitive and beginner triathletes all over the country. His professional coaching background includes USA Triathlon and USA cycling certifications. As a Marine infantry officer, Billy spent much of his time getting his Marines mentally and physically prepared for their tasks in battle similar to prepping athletes for races and meets. Billy believes in consistency in every aspect of life in order to become a better athlete. Sports should become not just a hobby but a positively integrated aspect of your life. He also considers triathlon much more than swim, bike, and run. It is the obstacles in your life, in your training, and then on race day that you have to learn to mentally, emotionally, and physically hurdle on the way to your goals. http://billythekidtriathlete.com/coaching/ Welcome back.

The following from Meredith Kessler's FB Dear Mak: Sometimes cherished dreams come true and other times they repeatedly slip away. This picture symbolizes both. You and your dad are my most sacred dream while a dream of a quality race with gusto in Kona fell yet again by the wayside. Today your mom couldn’t finish what I started. It was not my best nor proudest moment in sport. While this may continue to haunt me, as Kona usually does, I will keep learning, growing and recalibrating from it all. On repeat! And always relentlessly hug you in between

“Where there is a wheel, there’s a way.” This mantra is at the forefront of the Kyle Pease Foundation, whose purpose it to “create awareness and raise funds to promote success for persons with disabilities by providing assistance to meet their individual needs through sports.” This incredible organization was founded by the brother team of Kyle and Brent Pease. Growing up together in Atlanta, Georgia, sports were a huge part of their lives. Kyle has spastic Cerebral Palsy and quadriplegia so he usually watched his brothers play from the sidelines in his wheelchair, but that never quieted his drive and desire as an athlete. As the two grew older they began taking part in races together. From the marathon to the Iron Man, they’ve conquered them all. Kyle knew that he was never limited by his wheelchair and wanted nothing more than to spread that positive message to others with disabilities. Kyle knew that he and Brent were on to something in their paired racing, thus the Kyle Pease Foundation was born. From 2012 when they sponsored their very first athlete to race through today, the foundation has grown to enormous heights and will continue to thrive underneath its unrelenting founders. I have never spoken with two such driven individuals who absolutely refuse to give in. Their energy is contagious and they have touched so many already with their organization and will continue to do so. Kyle and Brent Pease embody the essence of the Keep Moving Podcast in that giving up really is for rookies. They know that you just have to take that first step, and your possibilities are limitless. I can’t thank them enough for taking the time to speak with me and I hope that you all enjoy my interview with the dynamic duo of Kyle and Brent Pease. If you would like to learn more about the Kyle Pease Foundation head over to http://www.kylepeasefoundation.org and check them out on Facebook and Twitter @Walking with KPeasy and on Instagram @WalkingWithKP. Always remember you can beat the odds and go the distance, if only you keep moving forward.
In which we interview Brent Pease and Paul Linck about the great things they have done for physically challenged athletes with the Kyle Pease Foundation.

Wherever and whenever this ghost of my voice finds you I hope you are well. Welcome to the RunRunLive podcast Episode 4-327. Today we have a great talk with Kyle and Brent Pease who are a team of brothers that run races. I think you’ll dig their story and get a kick out of their running adventures. In the first section I’m going to talk a bit about flexibility and range of motion. In the second section I’m going to talk about Dr. Carol Dweck’s book, “Mindsets”. …It’s been a good couple weeks since we last chatted. I am recovered from my rolled ankle and running well. I’ve got a bit of a head cold today so I apologize for the sexy voice. I’m heading down to Atlanta this weekend, actually tomorrow, to run the Jeff Galloway half. It will be a good test race for me. I’m planning to go out at marathon pace, try to pace it well and close strong. Weather looks reasonable. It’s a hilly course, but that’s ok, I need the work and the practice. I raced the Mill Cities Relay last weekend. It’s a 5-leg, invitation only, local club relay race. I was the captain of a senior team. The legs are all different lengths but there’s one long one, leg 4, which is a 9.5 miles and that was my leg. We got perfect racing weather. It was mid-30’s and sunny with no wind – so it ran warmer than the temperature. I raced in short shorts, a long sleeve tech with my club singlet over it, a fuzzy hat and light cotton gloves. I carried a bottle of UCan. Leg 4 is an entirely slight downhill route that follows the Merrimack River. It’s additionally challenging because the leg before it is only 2.5 miles so you really don’t have much time to warm up. You basically have to jump out of the car and go. My plan was to pace it at near my target marathon pace of 8 minute miles then close hard at the end to mimic a step-up or negative split. Me being me, instead I lit out like a cat with its tail on fire and was racing in the low 7’s from the start. Once I got a couple miles in I managed to calm down a bit and came in with an overall average of 7:26 for the leg. I was happy with the time, because, like the Thanksgiving 5k it shows me that I have gotten some of my speed back. My legs were the constraint. I was hurting in the last couple miles with dead legs and wouldn’t have made it much farther. Someone took a picture of me on the course and my form is crappy. In the picture I’m over-striding. My quads were dead and it wrecked my form. With this additional data point I’ve pivoted my workouts to longer tempo training away from the speed work. I got 2 more 9+ mile step-up runs in this week going into Sunday’s race. I’ll see how marathon pace feels on the legs for the half and that will give me a good idea of where I am. If all goes well I’ll try to target a race in January to see if I can stretch it out to the full 42k. All good. I feel strong. The heart is hanging in there. …I drove up to Buffalo NY last week from where I live in Mass. It’s interesting to drive through upstate NY and Western Mass. 100 years ago this area was the center of industry and commerce. Each valley has a town with a brick factory, a rail line and a court house, but there’s not much industry anymore. I drove by the Erie Canal and many tumble-down farms and old buildings. It’s not to say that the area is super depressed or a wasteland, it isn’t. It just isn’t industrial anymore. It’s like a museum to the industrial age. But, when I see one of those finely crafted brick buildings in the landscape I see a person’s dream. Someone had the dream and the persistence to put a factory there or a house or a barn. They dreamed big of a better future. They bet big on a big future. They took leaps of faith and built without knowing what was going to happen. I wonder where those people are today. Where are they that believe in growth and abundance? Who among us has the curiosity and drive to build something new on the landscape? Maybe it’s me. Maybe it’s you. On with the show.

Keep an eye out for Kyle and Brent when you’re out at races, say ‘hi’. I’m racing this weekend at the Galloway. Then I’m going to load up a couple cycles of high mileage to bulk up my distance on top pf my speed and tempo and with that, who knows? Maybe I’ll be ready to requalify. It’s a scary thing for me. Now that I find myself on the precipice again it scares me. But, you never know how a race is going to turn out until you stand on the starting line and take the test.

When I got on the plane I mistakenly sat in the wrong seat. I knew I had an aisle seat, but I sat in D when I was supposed to be in C. This odd gentleman sits in the C seat and is looking at his ticket confusedly. He mumbles something about ‘I think you’re in my seat’. I check my boarding pass and say ‘you’re right – but it’s the same seat if you just want to stay there’.He says ‘no’ and he wants his seat. I’m like, ‘OK buddy, no problem’ and we do the dosey-doe and swap aisle seats right next to each other. The other passengers are giving bemused smirks and ironically raised eyebrows. The thing is, now that I’m in my correct seat, the C seat there’s an empty seat next to me. It’s the only empty seat on the whole plane. Karma. I try to be super nice to people this time of year because everyone is so stressed out. If you follow me on social media you might notice that I don’t jump on any of the hate and religion and politics stuff. It doesn’t affect me one way or another what you are angry about. You see, I figure I can really only control my side of the relationship. And even if you are doing a really bad job of executing your side of the relationship by, let’s say, being a dick, I still can only control my own thoughts and actions, and that’s where I focus my energy. So as we stroll through the end of the year why don’t you try to be the best customer that sales clerk has ever had? Why don’t you try to be the partner that your loved ones deserve? Why don’t you try to be that member of your community and society that holds up your end of the relationship? Because that’s under your control. And while you’re noodling that, I’ll see you out there.

Wherever and whenever this ghost of my voice finds you I hope you are well. Welcome to the RunRunLive podcast Episode 4-327. Today we have a great talk with Kyle and Brent Pease who are a team of brothers that run races. I think you'll dig their story and get a kick out of their running adventures. In the first section I'm going to talk a bit about flexibility and range of motion. In the second section I'm going to talk about Dr. Carol Dweck's book, “Mindsets”. …It's been a good couple weeks since we last chatted. I am recovered from my rolled ankle and running well. I've got a bit of a head cold today so I apologize for the sexy voice. I'm heading down to Atlanta this weekend, actually tomorrow, to run the Jeff Galloway half. It will be a good test race for me. I'm planning to go out at marathon pace, try to pace it well and close strong. Weather looks reasonable. It's a hilly course, but that's ok, I need the work and the practice. I raced the Mill Cities Relay last weekend. It's a 5-leg, invitation only, local club relay race. I was the captain of a senior team. The legs are all different lengths but there's one long one, leg 4, which is a 9.5 miles and that was my leg. We got perfect racing weather. It was mid-30's and sunny with no wind – so it ran warmer than the temperature. I raced in short shorts, a long sleeve tech with my club singlet over it, a fuzzy hat and light cotton gloves. I carried a bottle of UCan. Leg 4 is an entirely slight downhill route that follows the Merrimack River. It's additionally challenging because the leg before it is only 2.5 miles so you really don't have much time to warm up. You basically have to jump out of the car and go. My plan was to pace it at near my target marathon pace of 8 minute miles then close hard at the end to mimic a step-up or negative split. Me being me, instead I lit out like a cat with its tail on fire and was racing in the low 7's from the start. Once I got a couple miles in I managed to calm down a bit and came in with an overall average of 7:26 for the leg. I was happy with the time, because, like the Thanksgiving 5k it shows me that I have gotten some of my speed back. My legs were the constraint. I was hurting in the last couple miles with dead legs and wouldn't have made it much farther. Someone took a picture of me on the course and my form is crappy. In the picture I'm over-striding. My quads were dead and it wrecked my form. With this additional data point I've pivoted my workouts to longer tempo training away from the speed work. I got 2 more 9+ mile step-up runs in this week going into Sunday's race. I'll see how marathon pace feels on the legs for the half and that will give me a good idea of where I am. If all goes well I'll try to target a race in January to see if I can stretch it out to the full 42k. All good. I feel strong. The heart is hanging in there. …I drove up to Buffalo NY last week from where I live in Mass.
