Episode notes
Mile PR Attempt That Blew Up Late
- James G. Williams attempted an all-out mile after years off the track and ran 6:17.17 while aiming to break 6:00.
- He went out too fast (about 5:00 pace early), hit heavy legs by lap two, and nearly quit in the final 100m, making it a clear mark to improve.
Pace The Track Mile With Measured 400m Splits
- Track one-mile efforts with conservative pacing and structured splits instead of all-out guesses to avoid blowing up.
- James reflected that an optimal plan would be consistent 400m splits (e.g., 67s) rather than sprinting the first 100m at 3:40 pace.
Half Marathon For Cancer With Weather Challenges
- Cameron Hanes ran the LA half marathon to raise money for cancer support and helped a fundraising team that hit over $15,000 toward a $20,000 goal.
- He navigated heavy course traffic from the marathon starters and used a wet bandana plus electrolytes to stay cool on an 85°F day.
