Denver

Now that's more like it! 10 miles of hard fun at the Aetna Park to Park
Posted by simon on 9/4/2008 on simon's blog

Definitely from the ridiculous to the sublime: the getting-a-bit battle weary Colorado Runner Racing Series points chasers moved to Denver to find a welcome contrast to our last race, which was such a fiasco that the "results" were dropped from the series.

'It's only a mile': underperforming at the Mile High Mile, Denver
Posted by simon on 6/1/2008 on simon's blog

Honest, it wasn't just me who came away dissatisfed from this race.

The course looked fast: straight out for half a mile from the Capitol Building in downtown Denver, slightly uphill, but not so's you'd really notice; two right-angled turns then slightly downhill all the way to the finish with a minor lump inside the last 100 to the line. But it turned out to be slow.

So "slow" that I can only claim "job done", getting under 5:30. No "very pleased" 5:20 and no ecstatic sub 5:15. Worse still, I "should have" won :)

altitude adjustment
Posted by run away on 4/9/2007

Any specific suggestions for preparing for a marathon at a higher altitude than one is used to? I live, train, and run about 35 miles a week at sea level, and will be participating in the 2007 Colorado Colfax Marathon. The air in Denver is, of course, much thinner than here. I'll arrive in Denver three or four days before the race. Generally speaking, is that enough time to acclimate? Anything else I can do in advance to prep? Thanks!
