Hello People! This is my first time starting a Blog, so please excuse my NOOB mistakes. (Please excuse my grammer/writing also)
WELL!! I wanted to create this to help myself get more serious but also to help anyone that would like to join me on this wonderful journey to help themselves or for just knowledge to improve a runner (s).
MY BACK GROUND: I started running serious my sophomore year of track. High school didn't start until my soph. year at my H/S. My freshman year I ran the "fun run" for my PE class which was to run a mile all out effort and when the PE teacher saw that I liked to push myself (even to the point of puking) he said I should try out for running. Well I didn't really take it serious so I tried out other sports then ironically I started back into running. But I have to say I think my Dad & Mom being great runners (my dad was a world class runner) also helped me choose what I wanted because I really give running a lot of heart. I have been running ever since but not consecutively over the years and that has hurt me to becoming a great athlete. But you have to learn what is more important in life and just go for it with 110% which is why now I have chosen to BLOG my work outs and additional info. I do pick up along the way.
Well I did go on to become a regional champ in 2001 for cross country, then I got 4th at state in Utah county(16:01 5k). Then skip back a year I got 5th in the mile for track (4:26 1600 meters) then my last year of high school I got 5th in the 800meters(time:1:56). Not outstanding like my Dad (State champ in the mile, 4:12) but just giving a little history of my background.
Then in college(2002) I got a little better at a junior college, 5 mile All American first year with a time of 26:12. Then I got distracted and stopped running as serious and that went on for the next couple years where I would go back to college(2003/04) to run then found a job etc....etc....
Well I guess let me start present now. I am about to try to make some big decisions of either going Pro or try to get into a NAIA university. But my times have been improving majorly and I have been consistent almost of all this year and sorta last. This year looks VERY promising.
(Just a little note)
My feedback of the information i will be gathering is from my experience and will also be coming from very successful & still improving runners. coaches (I follow Ryan Hall & also have studied a little bit on his experiences & Mo Farah/Galen Rupp)... but from the mass of unique differences from person to person(runners) it won't always be correct to say it will work for you SO PLEASE! experiment yourself and see what works for you for whatever it may be (food for thought).
THE Q's & A's: What will I be posting on here?
Well I will post my workouts sessions on here, I will put every little detail I can so you won't miss a beat. Also I will be posting how I felt, what I eat, how it effected me if I will be trying something new nutrition wise (which is just as important as the work out). As well as what is important and not (please take this part into consideration if you are a firm believer in something I disagree with which might happen)
WELL LETS GET STARTED!!!
This is going to be a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteBryce, I enjoyed reading your blog. It was written well and very informative. I think it will be a helpful site for anyone interested in running or any other sport. Just staying in shape for that matter. I will try to follow your blog as often as I can. It is amazing all the running you do and that I did when I was alot younger.. It is hard to find the time to do everything we want to do in ONE day but it you put yourself on a schedule and stick to it--just like exercising you can accomplish a whole lot. It's the sticking-to-it that's hard.. LOL Well good luck with all you do and with your blog... :)
