Sleep Deprivation in Overnight Events

I was recently asked by my friend Ron about how to deal with the problems of 24 hour (or longer) events. While I now deal with sleep deprivation much better than I once did, I do not have a clear reason for my improvement. I've given some background and some suggestions at http://fellrnr.info/Sleep-Deprivation-in-Overnight-Events, and as always, I welcome input or suggestions.

2009 Statistics

With my running over for 2009, I thought I'd look back over the year by pulling up some statistics - http://fellrnr.info/2009-Statistics. Overall, 2009 has been a very successful and enjoyable year for me. My primary goal for my 2010 training is to continue with the pattern I've established. I would like to do a run of 26 miles or more for 50 of the 52 weeks, something I started doing in the last few months of 2009. I plan to increase the level of interval training, and possibly include a few high mileage weeks (150-200 miles).

Tangent - Back Surgery

I was recently asked about the back surgery that I had in 2004. As I am a believer in "constructive laziness" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Enough_for_Love) I spent some time going over my training logs and wrote up my reply for the running tips site. As always, if anyone has any questions, just let me know. http://fellrnr.info/Back-Surgery

Toughening Feet

For many years I've been looking at ways to toughen the skin on my feet. I've put together a short entry describing the things I've tried, and how well they worked for me. http://fellrnr.info/Toughening-Feet

Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness

Do you find yourself sore after a marathon or long training run? You are probably suffering from Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS). It's useful to know the difference between DOMS and other muscle damage, and how to limit or prevent DOMS in the future.

Tangent - Thoughts on pacing a marathon

Having just paced the Charlotte Thunder Road marathon, I thought I'd make some notes for myself and others about how best to act as a pacer. I polled the other pacers from Thunder Road and got some great extra tips; if you have any suggestions, please let me know. (BTW, I am always looking for feedback, suggestions, or disagreements - just let me know.)

The Golden Rule of Tapering

I wanted to distill down my advice on tapering to a single, easy to remember 'golden rule'. I intentionally left this until after this weekend's marathons, as I wanted to give people time to muse on this before their next race.
