Hi there — I’ve enjoyed reading your site, after I saw a link to it on the NY Times — and I am a runner myself. Not a marathoner (had a significant hip injury so I’m not encouraged to run on hard surfaces, where most races take place!) but I am an avid exerciser and fitness enthusiast. When looking at your race recaps, specifically your splits tables, I’m wondering what the elevation entries refer to and why they’re important? Also, where did you find these tables/splits calculators?
Thanks, and congrats on your accomplishments!
The elevation is the elevation of the course–how flat or not it is.
The splits tables come from the Garmin website where I upload my stats.

Hi Theodora!
I’m training for half marathons right now and will begin training for a full marathon in December 2011. Can you give readers any advice on controlling appetite while long distance running? Since it’s very easy to eat back (and then more) of the calories you burned while running, many runners actually find that they gain weight, or at least not lose any, while training. Did you lose the weight while training for your first marathon? If so, what was your net calorie intake on medium, rest, and long run days?
Hope to make it to the city sometime soon!
hey! I’ll try to write a post on this soon. I definitely did gain a few pounds last year–but not until after the marathon, when I was still eating like I was training for a marathon.
