Notes from Coach Downin
- Don't go longer than 35 minutes when it is over 85 degrees. NO EXCEPTIONS.
- If it is really hot, stay in the shade...the track is mostly shaded; the trails are shaded.
- HYDRATING: you have to drink all day, not just when you run. Hydration is a way of life, not an exercise ritual.
- If there is any sign of heat-related issue, call the ambulance. It is better to be wrong at the hospital, than to be wrong at home.
Downin's Training - Updated August 14
128.85 miles since July 8
I started training for a marathon again. I will try to track my mileage on my user page, starting on July 8.
I got lost in Belmont last week! Check out the route here.
I WON my weight-class in the Big Man Run in Worcester, last Saturday. WOO HOO for me!
Training Tips
- Bring your own water.
- Drink lots of water during the day.
- We meet for training in ANY WEATHER. If there is lightning, we will train inside. Make sure you dress accordingly and bring clothes to change into.
- Make sure you wear sun screen.
- Bring bug spray for the am sessions.
- Get a cheap digital watch.
Mileage Tracking

Coach Downin's Favorite Quote:
"If I am still standing at the end of the race, hit me with a board and knock me down, because that means I didn't run hard enough."
