The key effects of endurance training are the increased muscle efficiency and extended heart range. The heart range is the difference between you minimal heart rate and anaerobic threshold. Training increases the heart volume, thereby lowering the minimal heart rate. It also increases muscle efficiency thereby increasing the anaerobic threshold from 65% up to 91% of the maximum heart rate. This is why trained people can maintain a higher pace longer. «read more»

Portland (OR) is a great location to run. A summary of my running routes and maps can be found below. From April to October, I do my longer runs with Portland Marathon Clinic. During the winter one of the PMC coaches (Jim) leads a 12 min/mi group. We alternate our runs between North Portland, Willamette park/Sellwood and 23rd/waterfront. We all run the same pace, but distances vary widely from 8 mi up to 20 miles. «read more» 
This is still on my wish list. This trail is characterized by the many lakes it touches. Initially it climbs up to Kearsarge Pass (3607 m). The view from the pass looks promising on the map. The trail then leaves the bear territory (take canisters) as it leads down into another basin dotted with little lakes. Leave early to avoid the crowds, as the first basin is within easy reach of day hikers. The Onion Valley (2804 m) trail head. Go west from Independence 15 miles to the road-end parking lot. Description, elevation and map. «read more» |
