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 10: Senior Project Update
(1) What are you currently doing in your independent component?
Right now for my IC I am training, following along with my set schedule. I keep track of all my runs and injuries in my running journal. I also use that as reference for how to adjust my training.
(2) What is a recent piece of research (article, interview, or audio-visual) that have you reviewed you would say was significant in helping you understand where to go next in your senior project? The piece of research should be something you reviewed in November. Please explain what you learned and where are you going next because of this piece of research.
Well, I got to the part in my book, "Marathon" where they talk about proper dieting. From here I can contact a nutritionist to understand their point of view and get a further idea of what a proper running diet looks like.
(3) Provide evidence from your independent component or the piece of research as something you recently did. For example, a photo of something you working on for your independent component or your notes from the video you watched.
Did 13 miles! Fun times.

Blog 2: Long Distance Marathon Running
My topic for this is will be long distance marathon running. I chose this because running is my life, it completes me. I've been running since I was 13. At first I just did a few 5k races here and there, but after a couple of races i found a strong liking to it. I was never competitive, it didn't matter it I finished first or last. Running is about the journey, what it takes to reach that finish line. Since I started running 4 years ago, I've completed several 5ks, 10ks, and half marathons. My hope for this year is to accomplish my very first full marathon. Although this does not directly relate to the Ipoly ESLRs, my journey there will lead me on a path to being an effective Ipoly Citizen.
Studying the road to becoming a marathon runner will help me become a better Ipoly citizen because already several people have come to me asking about training schedules, and running plans. I know that this is the kind of information others will be interested in, and I can even help them achieve their goals of finish their first run. I can also work with other people who enjoy runs and put running groups together to participate in fun team relays. This topic will also make me a better communicator because no one can finish a marathon alone. In order to reach that finish line you need help from others, people who have been there, and even people who are just willing to support you. I plan on talking to current marathon runners, and using their knowledge to create my own personal running schedule. By listening to what experts have to say will make me an effective learner because I plan to apply what they say to make my schedule the most effective toward my marathon journey. Although most people don't associate running with technology, I know there are resources I can find though an online database. I can also use technology to take me running schedule a step further, such as creating a system that can work for any type of runner. I want to be able to help out all levels of runners. Also, most people don't take into consideration the amount of technology it takes to create the prefect most effective running shoe.
I know this year I will be learning a lot of new information that will benefit me as a runner for the rest of my life. And I know this won't be my last marathon.
