Well, I wasn't exactly inundated with entries, but its a process, right? @runningdanw and @toofasteddie submitted great posts. Check them both out for some great workout ideas.

Devilishly Deceiving Workout, by @runningdanw is aptly titled. I love workouts like this. 10 1/2 minutes of total running, and anyone who had a sadistic coach in high school knows that's plenty of time to induce an unpleasant bodily function.

One of my Favorite Running Workouts: "indefinite number"x 300m r100m by @toofasteddie describes a longer, less gut wrenching workout, but I was so intrigued by it that I tried a variation on my treadmill the day after I read his post. This is definitely one to keep in the training plan.

It was difficult, but I am going to go with @runningdanw for two specific reasons: 1, I love short workouts that induce vomiting, and 2, @toofasteddie is our fearless leader of @runningproject, and giving him first would just seem like food for conspiracy theorists. But! Since they were the only two entries, they split the 3rd place purse, walking away from the competition with 5.5 and 3.5 respectively. Thanks for playing, gentlemen!

1st Place: 5 SBD 🥇 @runningdanw
2nd Place: 3 SBD 🥈 @toofasteddie
3rd Place: 1SBD 🥉gosh, any one of you running fools
could have had your name entered here! :)

Your chance to unleash that competitive spirit!

My inspiration to do a running-related contest, and the fact that I have some SBD to spend, came via @trevor.george, and his totally awesome, wacky and fun Steemit Ultra Marathon. You just have to do this contest to believe it. It actually made me really want to do a trail ultra, IN NEW ZEALAND, which is just insane.

About Coach Craig:

I am an avid runner and coach. I have competed in every distance from 55 meters to iron distance triathlon, including a handful of marathons. As a masters athlete I focus on the 5K (masters pr of 19:40), 800 meters (2:12) and 400 meters (55.2), but I also run the Philadelphia Broad Street 10 miler every spring with my wife (1:16). I am not a fast distance runner, but partly because I am a sprinter at heart. I currently coach sprints at my local high school, and help my wife with her cross country team in the fall, as well as the winter track program at her school. I am also the vice president of Greater Philadelphia Track Club, the president of a youth track and field club that my wife and I started last summer, and hold a USA Track & Field level 1 certification. I have done extensive technique training and coaching, and attend two coaching conferences every year to keep up with the latest ideas. This summer I will be completing my USATF level 2 certification, most likely with a concentration in youth track and field.
