Chris Solinsky made the most memorable leap of 2010. In the world of distance running, every year is a leap year. For a few people at least.

I wanted to share with you my experience at Big Sky in Bright, and how this experience is different from what I feel when at home in Sydney. My auxiliary training (everything outside of my sessions) in Bright was almost identical to what I’d do in Sydney. I had one run that was longer than what I’d normally do, but that was really it. However, there were two things that were drastically different during my time here- the altitude I slept and recovered at, and the different styles of session that I experienced as a result of being here. This feeds in to my discussion of altitude training versus the training camp effect.

The phone alarm goes off but I have been lying awake for the past hour - I’m not too concerned about my lack of sleep as I recall only getting a few hours of quality zzz’s...
A 3k race off no track work and marathon mileage wasn't a normal part of my marathon build-up but the end goal is the same - a hard run out to blow away the cobwebs and break up the training block.
Coming into the race I'd put 6 solid weeks...
