A bigger group differents paces

The Tuesday group of running is become larger. Now it's 4 person group, what is nice. The problem is that the 4 of us have different paces. To try to solve this I bought a bike to my wife, and so, the two girls today shared it. The result is better, but is not good: my pace still to be greater! When I run alone with my wife it's very good, I run at the pace I choose and she follow me. With the bigger group we need to find a better solution, maybe create to groups...

Pay per Post news

Pay Per Post is announcing big news in their service. For now they add recently the feature of each PPP user can request to other to review each post of this own blog. The blog owner just put a code (image + link) and visitors can register on Pay Per Post and review the post. The post owner earn money.
For now they are announcing some grater changes, some big news. This could be, like this post says, to pass a bigger chunk of money to blogger, to the reviews become more attractive, but this will be made of some innovating way...I don't know how.
But I expected PPP will try to put the service more professional to call more advertisers, allowing advertisers to choose somehow the blogs/place where they are buying the review...
Another issue I expect that could be changed in the next times is the opportunity to write posts on blog native language, and the that language could be anyone. This will allow to much more people to join the program and also bring more adversity's that want to create buzz one some country local issue.
PPP is also focused to publish to all the people how easy is to earn money: they should also keep some opportunities or tools to improve this, as this will bring more users. The better way to pass the information is user for user!

Radcliffe back in training, aiming for World C’ships

One of the greatest female athlets of all time is backing to the road...

LONDON: World marathon record holder Paula Radcliffe is back in training, just two months after giving birth, and planning to compete at the World Championships in August.

Radcliffe, her husband and coach Gary Lough and daughter Isla, who was born Jan. 17, relocated to Boulder, Colorado this week for a training camp. Radcliffe said a June comeback was still planned most likely a road race and she would also run either the marathon or 10,000 meters at the August 25-September 2 World Championships in Osaka, Japan. “I’ll be in Boulder until the end of April, building up my training,” Radcliffe was quoted as saying in The Daily Telegraph on Saturday. “Recent tests I had done at Loughborough University showed that I was close to normal fitness. If things go well, I hope I will be racing again in June. I will definitely be OK for Osaka.”

Weekend report

Only one run, at Saturday: 50 minutes, easy pace. Too few motivation to run again at Sunday...

Gebrselassie – One eye on World Marathon record, another on Osaka

Addis Ababa, - Even by his own admission, Ethiopian
distance running legend Haile Gebrselassie was a mere pupil of the
Marathon before his two recent victories in Berlin and Fukuoka.

“It is not easy,” he says. “But I am improving. I used to get tired
in the final parts of the race because I use most of my energy in the
beginning.”

But after a successful 2006 where he smashed two World records over
the 20km and the Half Marathon in Arizona and improved his own national
mark over the Marathon in Berlin, the 33-year-old says that his days as
a student of the marathon have come to an end.

“Berlin was a big lesson and a learning process for me,” he says. “I
did 95 percent of the things correctly. I need to get that five percent
right next time.”

2007 focus on London and Osaka

Following a successful 2006, Gebrselassie will begin 2007 in at the
London race where he is once again slated to run against the world’s
top marathon runners. “I will not run any shorter races before then,”
he says. Gebrselassie is also hoping to make it third time lucky after
two winless appearances in London in 2002 and 2006.

“I do not want to speak about my London prospects,” he says. “I just
want good health this year. I hope I can run well if I am healthy.
There will be no excuses this time.”

Marathon running trio cross Sahara

They started with a dip in the cold surf of the
Atlantic on a white sand beach in Africa's far west. A little over
three months later, this week they were swimming above coral reefs in
the Red Sea.

In between lay 4,580 miles of
heat-blasted and empty Sahara, which, unlike anyone before them, Ray
Zahab, 38, Kevin Lin, 30, and Charlie Engle, 44, ran across.

On average, the Canadian, Taiwanese and American ran two marathons a
day for 110 days, in temperatures of up to 104F, ripping through a pair
of trainers in 48 hours.

Weekend report

Saturday last week - Easy run plus strength exercises for legs. Very good to improve legs strength to help climbing.

Monday (yes, still weekend because Tuesday holyday) - Easy run, 30 or 40 minutes, always raining. It was nice to run at rain, and at night. Of course with a wet bath immediately after the run.

Yesterday an easy run interrupted with the rain. Because I'was not close to the home and so I haven't the wet bath :)
