It’s a very Salty special edition of the Roundup and Roundtable, BOSTON MARATHON style! Where do we begin???

Des. We believed. It was hard to have a “favorite” going into this race but man, we’ve got a lot of Salty love for her. This time last year, we published “That Desiree Linden, She’s Second to None.” And now — finally — she’s first. Winning Boston is her first marathon win. Ever.  Read more >>

The women’s-only half marathon record dropped to 66:11 this weekend at the IAAF World Half Marathon Championships in Spain. Ethiopia’s Netsanet Gudeta defeated race favorite, Joyciline Jepkosgei (Kenya), by 43 seconds. Jepkosgei holds the mixed-gender women’s WR of 64:51 but was dropped by Gudeta around mile 8.5.

For the U.S., Emma Bates set a new personal best of 71:45 for 27th place. Becky Wade was 41st in 72:31 and Elaina Balouris Tabb 64th in 74:55.

“For sure the coolest race I’ve run yet and a big honor to wear the USA in a world-class field,” Becky posted on Instagram. She’s racing the London Marathon in four weeks.

One of my all-time favorite races was this weekend — Shamrock Virginia Beach. Kara Goucher was there using it as a training run and generally being super-awesome — check her Instagram for cute posts of Colt doing the kids’ run!

Ah, March, when the racing circuit heats up but apparently not the actual temperatures. We’ve got some big-name results this week, including the USATF 15k championships and a couple of our own Salty speedsters in the mix!

If you were a tad disappointed by the ol’ US-of-A’s performance at the Winter Olympics, the IAAF Indoor Track World Championships should leave you yelling “‘Merica!” again. The U.S. brought home 18 medals — no other country earned more than five — including six golds.

Just want to point out that halfway through this week we’ll be halfway through February which means we’re close to March! I have noticed a marked difference in when the sun is up in the mornings, which brings me joy because this running-in-the-dark-everyday thing is wearing me down.

Meanwhile, the marathon scene is heating up in the southern states — quite literally. The 26.2 with Donna brought racers 71º temperatures, 13 mph winds, and 91% humidity on Sunday. (And our own Angelica still prevailed!)

Readers Roundtable: How Do You Train During the Holidays

Readers Roundtable: How Do You Train During the Holidays

Angelica Posted by Angelica on December 18, 2017

Holiday Running

For many of us, the holiday season coincides with our off-season, when we enter post-race maintenance mode, giving our bodies and minds a much-needed break from hard training. While Santa Claus is checking his list and tuning up his sleigh, the rest of us find ourselves mired in extra concerts, party invitations, and frankly, a lot of extra work: shopping, wrapping, baking, planning. A more flexible and laid-back approach to running can be a great match for all the activity.

But for some – here at Salty Running that includes Sesame and Angelica – have decided on January or February races, so we find ourselves in the thick of training during the holiday season, and squeezing the marathon miles in is tough!

There is a range of approaches to holiday disruptions. Is it better to run long on Saturday morning and get it out of the way? Two weeks ago, I tried that and was a zombie at the Saturday night PTA-mom party. Running long on Sunday means shutting down Saturday night festivities on the early side and probably passing on the cocktails. Finding time for 15 miles the weekend before Christmas was like trying to do a jigsaw puzzle with too many pieces – one event or another kept slipping out of the picture. I’m crossing my fingers about the weather because there’s no room on the agenda for a blizzard!

We want to hear from you! How do you handle holiday disruptions to training schedules? Is your off-season meshing with your holiday season? Or are concerts, cocktails and cooking-baking throwing you off-kilter?

How do you balance training and celebrating this time of year?
