Newton Gravity
Tremendous Run!
Raced the Garmin Virtual Guy tonight over a 13 mile course….and beat him! The plan was simple – just run 7 minute mile pace for as long as possible. Here’s what happened: Splits: 6:55 6:52 6:45 6:52 6:51 6:40 6:45 6:38 6:32 6:29 6:23 6:12 6:09 for a total time of 1:26:10 and average 6:36 [...]
Eight Miles In The Newton Gravitas
After yesterday’s easy nine miles it was good to get out there and run a bit of a tempo run today. The weather was a lot cooler (about 58°) and the forecast for light rain in the afternoon was spot on and just in time for my lunchtime run. You may remember on Saturday I [...]

Now that I think about it, I may have stumbled on finding the “Newton Sweetspot” without really trying. Early training runs in the Newtons were fast, [...]
Indoor Spin Followed By A Progressive Run

Sunday Run To The Pool
Felt pretty good after yesterday’s half marathon, so decided to run to the rec center for a swim. Wore the Newton Gravity training shoes and couldn’t help but run fast again! I started fairly conservatively with a 7:41 first mile and steadily got faster and faster for the remainder of the run: 7:02 6:54 6:51 [...]
Pre-Frederick Marathon Yasso 800s In The Newton Gravity
After yesterday’s failed attempt at the Yasso 800s – a popular pre-marathon test which allegedly will accurately predict your marathon finish time – I was keen to have another go today. Also, with Saturday’s Dismal Swamp Stomp Half Marathon fast approaching, I wanted to keep Thursday and Friday free from any quality runs to leave [...]
