Beach to Beacon 10K

But yeah, I did a lot of like the summer road races here in New England over this past summer as I was building up to Berlin, which I think was helpful in this training cycle in terms of just like, okay, like hitting two, three weeks of like really hard high mileage and then coming down for like a down week and doing a race, I think helped.

actually helps me stay um a little bit fresher um just incorporating those kind of like natural down weeks around the races and um because i love to train and i think the only thing that'll that'll get me to back off the mileage is um i also want to race well so running a race and um a lot of fun too as well if if anyone's from like the new england um summer road racing circuit um It's a great atmosphere, like Beach to Beacon and Falmouth.

And so, yeah, I did some shorter races as well, too.

So classic, like it's just historic in American distance running.

He

was like on a tear after his like 206 and then he was top American at Beach to Beacon this summer.

And I think good 10Ks bode well for good marathons.

Beautiful.

This guy was not a, like, a superstar in Kenya, and now he's wiping the floor of guys that were Running 13, 12, uh, he's wiping the floor, but he's beating them, so

One thing to note, Robert, is that Katonga had run Beach to Beacon last month.

He, along with Pamela Kosgei, Habtem Samuel, who's now a pro, some of these New Mexico runners actually went out there and raced it.

So he was already in pretty good shape, whereas I think some of the OK State guys like Dennis Kimbketich, Brian Massall, they're more focused on November and really getting ready for nationals.
