Training Advice From Peter Gilmore

"If you want to improve your performance in the marathon, stop worrying about minimalist shoes, caveman diets, and new-age running form, and start worrying about getting out the door and running a little more than you did last week. High mileage works!  It is the single best method for the greatest percentage of runners to improve in the marathon."

Haile Is Not Retiring

 The big running news this week has been "The Great One Retires".
Puh-lease. Haile is not retiring. He ran a 59:33 half marathon a couple months ago. Obviously he had put a great deal of pressure on himself to come to NYC and prove the critics wrong, showing he can "race" a marathon and win. And he failed.

He's the greatest runner of all-time. He's tremendously disappointed. He said he was retiring based on emotion. It smelled like BS right away. What champion type athlete has ever retired after they said they were retiring? They can't quit. They don't know how. Already he's said "he need some time to think about it".

"The Great One" will be back. Mark my words.
