Blog 16: 2-hour Meeting Answer #2
1. What is your essential question?
What is key to completing a marathon?
2. What is your second answer to your essential question (write your second answer in a complete sentence)?
The key to completing a marathon is to train for 6 months before with a routine that includes long miles, short miles, cross training, and hill repeats.
3. What are three details to support or justify your second answer (details are examples or facts)?
-Injuries caused by over training, and going beyond your boundaries.
-Getting in shape for a run in order to finish. You body can't just go out there and run, it can lead to death or heart attack.
-Everybody is different, you have to get to know your body and how it works, no everyone can have a personal trainer.
4. What source helped you prove this answer is justified for your essential question?
Currently I have been reading Marathon by Jeff Galloway, this was my first introduction to proper marathon training. I am hoping to find other books that have similar training plans.
5. What do you plan to study next with your second answer and why? (You would say "I plan to continue my study of answer 2 by doing ____________"?)
I plan to continue my study of answer 2 by researching what makes a good training schedule, as well as how to create your own. I think this is important because once you know how to run properly you need to know how to create something that works for you and your body type. I also find it important to create a plan that you find interesting. This will keep you motivated to run through 6 grueling months.
On Friday February 8th, you will be going into 2-Hour houses. In your 2-Hour house, each student will be presenting the following:

Blog 15: Independent Component 2 Plan Approval
CONTENT:
(1) Write a description of what you plan on doing for your independent study component.
(1) Write a description of what you plan on doing for your independent study component.
For my independent component I would like to train someone else to run a marathon but include a diet portion. While working on my first component I didn't use a diet plan. I can then compare my progress with my subjects progress and see whether or not diet is a viable answer to my essential question. I will train the person up until the project is due, but since it is not a sufficient amount of time to train properly they will probably not complete a formal race.
(2) Describe in detail how you think your plan will meet the 30 hours work requirement.
I will need to do plenty of additional research on diet and different types of diets. I will have to teach my runner how to adapt each diet, as well as personally train them. I will make them a diet plan and a schedule. And they will keep track of both in a journal.
(3) How does your independent study component relate your eq?
My eq is, what is key to completing a marathon. Personally I feel diet is very controversial in the running world. But I want to find out whether or not it is important, and if it does make a difference. It can help me come to a possible answer or stray from a not so good answer.

Blog 14: Independent Component 1
Content:
- LITERAL
(a) “I, Bobbie, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.”
- (b) Galloway, Jeff. Marathon. Atlanta, GA:Phidippides Pub., 1996. Print.
- (c) https://www.google.com/calendar/render Oct 28 2012- Jan 13 2013
- (d) For my independent component I trained to run a half marathon and a full marathon. It was a different experience than if i had just trained for a full marathon alone because it would have involved doing less long milage training. Every weekend I would do long distance miles, no matter how long it took. This helped me on race day because I felt prepared for the long milage ahead of me. My final result was running in the Mickey Mouse Walt Disney World Marathon, and half marathon.
- INTERPRETIVE
My project demonstrates 30 hours of work because it takes long hard house to complete, and train for a race like this. In order to build up your milage you must practice and train. Each week you run over 40 miles. Which accumulates a lot of time over several months, especially when the longer miles become more frequent. - APPLIED
This helped me understand more of what i already know about marathons. They arent easy, but they can be a fun experience. All the knowledge that I had accumulated prior to the race helped me get through it. It also showed me what I personally need to work on and what other people can work on. It is a clear answer to my EQ. Through my experience I feel i can better answer my EQ by using research as well as first hand knowledge.

Blog 11: Mentorship 10 hours check
1. Where are you doing your mentorship?
My mentorship is currently being done at a running club located in Pasadena.
2. Who is your contact?
Nick
3. How many total hours have you done (total hours should be reflected in your mentorship log located on the right hand side of your blog like your WB)?
24 hours
4. Summarize the 10 hours of service you did.
Every tuesday for 2 months I went to visit the Dogg Haus running group to conduct my science experiment. I would take the info from runners before they left on their 3-6 mile run. Then I would record different measurements when they got back. I spent roughly three hours there each tuesday because all the runners had their own pace.
