I've always been told that racing is a part of training. So, many athletes run races while not in the best shape to get used to racing and build up to something better.
I've never understood people who refuse to race unless they are in top shape. Is it an ego thing?

TRAINING or MARATHON TRAINING? This is a huge Alberto problem. They are not the same thing. You may have noticed that Wanjiru did not do a build up race in preparation for Chicago. Neither did Shobukova. The only reason to race during a marathon build up is for the payday. From a training point of view, it is foolish.

re: breathe thermo

The time is slow but Kara won! That means if there was someone to push her she could have run even faster.

I don't see the need of her killing herself in a small race like this, just to prove to some few stupid guys that she is in form.

Also for the guy who said that using a race as a workout is an excuse, it seems the person who said this doesn't even know anything about elite runners.

Using a race as a workout is very normal, and not only used by elites but also college students.

Cheers Kara!! Keep going!

re: Kenyano

Saw on her blog that she ran (what I'm assuming to be her long run) 20 miles alongside Adam pushing the stroller. Is this another sign that he is totally done? Interesting to me anyways.

The stroller had 200 pounds of sandbags in it. Adam's an iron man!

re: Heard through the grapevine

You are wrong. The stroller was full of Rolling Rock and he downed one every mile. He puked twice and knocked Kara off her feet three times but finished strong!

re: true or maybe a little false

You gotta race while you're training. Don't you know anything?

re: Your typical poster

I am a new mom, and I can tell you that Kara is a star in my eyes. Yeah 16:11 is not great for her if she was in the best shape of her life (pre-pregnancy)...BUT SHE JUST HAD A BABY!!! That was a great tune-up for her!

How many of you negative posters have had a baby and then tried to get back into running...let alone race shape? It is NOT easy!

And how many of you have run pushing a stroller...let alone for 20 miles??? That too is NOT easy!

Go get 'em, Kara! You have the support of every running Mom out there!

re: recent mama...kara is a star!

I think she can pretty much do whatever the hell she wants to do without any input here - she does have a coach and a brain, right?
