<span style="font-size: large;">Do you have a race review for a half marathon in North Dakota? If so, feel free to submit a half marathon review for consideration! Here are some great topics runners like to read about in your half marathon review:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Was the race website organized and informative? Distances visible on home page, full address of location for out of state visitors, city and state visible of non-local participants, details about course, critical info easily found, etc.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Was the race well organized? Packet pick up, expo, start time, timing, support?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Did this race have an expo, or just a small packet pickup?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Were enough volunteers recruited? How was on course support? Enough food? Enough water?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">How was the post race party? Good food? Music? Enough food? Enough refreshments & recovery food or drinks? Describe.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">How was the medal? below average? average? excellent? beyond excellent, pretty cool?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Do you have a photo to share of your bling to include?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">How was the swag? Any awesome swag? Brand of shirt?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">How was the cost of the race compared to most half marathons? about average, a great deal, way too expensive for the swag, bling and support that was provided, well worth the cost for the swag, bling, post race party and support received?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Was this a small race, a medium sized race, or large race?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Was the course scenic? What was the highlight of the course (or highlights of the course)?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">What made the course fun (or totally boring)?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Do you have any good scenic course photos to send us?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Describe the course. Was it flat? Rollers the whole way? Flat with one big monster hill? All up? All down? All up then all down? etc. Was it shaded? Trees, dessert, mountainous, city streets, all neighborhoods, through a park, etc?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">We love to hear from our half marathon runners about all the half marathon races out there that you love, like, or didn't care for, and appreciate your feedback. We may share your review in multiple locations such as our half marathon blogs, or possibly even on <a href="http://www.halfmarathonsearch.com/" target="_blank">Halfmarathonsearch.com</a>. You can ask to be published anonymously if you'd like, but we do need your information in order to publish.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Happy Running!</span><br />

<b>Cold Weather Training<br />Article By: Paul “Crazy Legs” Stofko RRCA Running Coach <br />November 3, 2011</b><br />
<br />
Cold
weather training requires a little extra planning and protection before
you head out the door. Your body loses heat quickly in cold weather due
to convection (heat loss due to motion), conduction (transfer of heat
due to temperature changes), evaporation of moisture, and radiation
(transfer of energy caused by the difference between skin temperature
and ambient temperature). The right layers will protect you from the
elements without weighing you down. Cold can take it toll on your
performance and comfort. And frostbitten skin is always a risk. But if
you take some simple precautions, you can maintain your mileage in
anything weather winter bring your way. <br />
<br />
The challenge
in dressing for winter training is not only to keep the winter chill and
wetness out, but to manage the heat and moisture your body produces as
well. Even in subfreezing temperatures your body produces a lot of heat
and sweat. You can produce up to two liters per hour when running. Water
conducts heat away from your body 25 times faster than air – great in
summer, but dangerous in cold temperatures. Staying dry under your
layers is critical and can impact heart rate, as well as comfort,
dryness, and warmth. <br />
<br />
Here are some tips for dressing in layers: <br />
<br />
<b>First Layer </b><br />
<br />
Forget
cotton. It holds moisture next to your skin. Choose the new
lightweight, moisture-wicking fabrics that hold a very small percentage
of their weight in moisture. Performance microfibers hold less than on
percent of their weight in water compared to 17% wool or 8% cotton. <br />
<br />
<b>Second Layer </b><br />
<br />
If
you running in very cold weather, you may need a middle layer to trap
the warmth your muscles generate. Choose a layer that produces maximum
warmth with minimum bulk. Synthetic fibers have an advantage of staying
drier than natural ones. <br />
<br />
<b>Outer Layer </b><br />
<br />
Fibers
have been developed that block the elements without trapping too much
heat and moisture underneath. Look for waterproof fabrics that vent. <br />
<br />
<b>Hands and Head </b><br />
<br />
Up
to 40% of your body’s heat loss occurs from the head due to a large
blood supply, extra surface area, and the mucus membranes of the nose
and mouth. Choose thin microfiber hats and lightweight gloves liners for
your hands. <br />
<br />
<b>Don’t forget your feet </b><br />
<br />
Cotton is a bad choice for socks. Look for synthetic socks that won’t hold moisture and become packed down when damp.</div>Half Marathon | Half Marathons | Half Marathon Blogs | Halfmarathonsearch.com | Fifty 50 States Half Marathon Clubhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07586481839714641248noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1068519189218427191.post-69881000421308142982011-06-04T17:37:00.000-06:002011-06-04T17:37:10.409-06:00North Dakota Half Marathons, Half Marathon Runners, Race Directors & Event Organizers<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <br />
