The Howling: Wolfpack Weekly Update -- November 9, 2026

Dave "Big Horn" Buchwald is now the Bionic Man as he got his new hip! Now time to recover and get back at it! I do give him a lot of credit for his pre-hab effort! The man has been training hard and went into the surgery strong!

🐺 HOWLS

Howl out to Thomas "Tommy Boy" Andreasson who raced the MO' Cow Bell Half-Marathon in St Charles, Missouri and crushed the day by going under 2 hours with a 9:00 pace which was a new PR and finishing 11th in M60-64. MO' Cow Bell is a huge race, so this was a big accomplishment. Don't know why he couldn't find 13.1 seconds to have an 8:59 average, but battle for another day! At-a-boy-Tommy-Boy!

WOLFPACK 7.0 ENHANCEMENT

Pace and Power Dashboards – Hope you are enjoying the Pace and Power Dashboards I have placed in TP on Monday's. Each week they'll get better as I am looking for the best way to share relevant and meaningful data and information. As before, please take a look at these and let me know if they are helpful and/or if there is additional information that would be valuable.

Strength and Mobility -- Any comments on the new set-up for these workouts is appreciated.

Note, I am also going to place new articles I write in the Monday TP section. So, if there is a topic that you want me to hit or a simple question as I can come up with some short answers feel free to drop them to me as everyone has the same question. And, no question is too dumb. Thomas set a low bar for you all!!! :)
