		<description><![CDATA[I noticed from my web traffic logs that a lot of people were coming across my blog while searching for urbanathlon training tips. My existing articles didn&#8217;t really touch on how to train for an urbanathlon so I thought I would write something up for everyone out there. I remember back when I was prepping for the race reading the Men&#8217;s Health Training Guide and thinking that it seemed pretty ridiculous. After having actually completed a race I would say the training guide is a cut and paste job. Unless you have an extra hour a day to waste on stretching and weight training then [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well the day finally came and twenty six miles later I finally get to lay claim to the title marathoner. The race was another fantastic event with a vibrant crowd, supportive runners and a well organized event staff. Joel cleaned up in the half marathon and Dan beat his best marathon time by about five minutes. I did not run as fast as I had wanted to, but I did have to overcome a cold and a hamstring I pulled while climbing. I even have the injury on video so check it out now. The race started out well enough. Weather was just the way [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So I am officially in coast mode. After four months of training (not counting the three months of training for the Urbanathlon) I am finally prepared for the big show. Honestly I wasn&#8217;t sure at certain points whether or not I was going to make it. Training for a marathon is hard. Really hard. Way harder than I ever expected. Frankly a half marathon is cake. A walk in the park. I look back at my original marathon training post and think of the crazy goals I set for myself and wonder how I could have thought that was possible. Too much too fast. Eventually [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dan Corbera of Urbanathlon fame, Joel Desjardins and myself have all set a goal to tackle the Hyannis full marathon come February 28th, 2010. I am following the Runner&#8217;s World sixteen week training program and I am off to an ignominious start.  I visited the track on Tuesday for my first day of training. The training schedule called upon me to run two miles at race pace, 1 mile at 105% of race pace and finish up with two miles at race pace again. It had been three weeks since my last run which was the Urbanathlon, but I felt good and hoped things would go well. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So I am finally back from Chicago where I finished my first ever Urbanathlon. I beat my personal goal of an 8:30 mile with an 8:22 and I am super stoked about the result. The best part was that I felt great at the end of the race and I know I could have run it even faster! The obstacles were great motivators. I could feel as I closed in on them the urge to run faster and pound through them. As I tackled an obstacle a surge of endorphins rushed in and catapulted me onto the next one. I can see these types of races [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wait, a what? An urbanathlon? What is that? &#8211; I get those questions a lot when I tell people I am training for a race come October. I was inspired to enter by my friend Dan Corbera who participates in marathons, triathlons and more. He has a competitive spirit that is inspirational &#8211; it certainly has to be considering what he got me into. Check out these followup articles! Urbanathlon Training Guide My Race Day Experience Dan got me started in racing back around New Year&#8217;s Day 2009 that when he asked if I wanted to run in the Cape Cod half-marathon with him. Well [...]]]></description>
