I ran 3 in 7.5 hours. For real.


And how did that work out for you?

I'm running Hood to Coast starting tomorrow. Which is basically 3 10Ks in 19 hours. So yes, I would.

I would probably pick one to race, and one to RACE. Oh who am I kidding. 2 5K's? I'd race both of them.

I'd run both if my intent were not to race either. I'd just treat them as an easy run with friends or maybe a tempo, but I wouldn't race 2 5ks - any distance > 800 actually - within 2 weeks of each other unless i absolutely had to.

Yeah, just think about the HS kids who will be doing a 5k race each of the next 11 weeks (at least the ones in Maine who get through regionals, state and New England). Yikes.
