The Running Thread

My Kinvaras come Wednesday. I'm targeting a treadmill run in them and hopefully I can get back into form.

Good luck, Strava bro.

Take it easy for a couple more weeks, Verb. Then hit it hard. I’d like to take you down on the January leader board before you crush me all year.

[run2death]

During our multiple board kerfuffles yesterday/last night, I forgot to tell you guys that my work just put in an order for a new $3,500 TRUE treadmill.

[run2death]

Jesus, another great run this morning, guestT.

I think you're officially the fastest runner on RM now.

I'm gonna put this smiley here , but actually die inside.

[guestT]

Ha! Yeah right. Thanks though. I def feel like I'm getting faster in short bursts. I'm anxious to see how it translates to the longer runs.

[run2death]

Back to back MP runs may not have been the best idea. My legs are trashed.

[guestT]

Does your plan have regular rest days?

The first 3 weeks of my plan had 2/week, but from here on out it alternates 1 day one week, 2 the next. Running six days/week is uncharted territory for me.

[run2death]

It does, but I sometimes don't take it.

Also, I don't really stick to the specific days of a plan.

I see it more as a list of runs that I need to do in a week.

So I may do my MP run on Wednesday one week, but Tuesday the next. I also like to occasionally do my long run on Saturday instead of the traditional Sunday.

This week instead of taking Monday off, I threw in an additional MP run.

[guestT]

Ah, gotcha. I tend to treat "the plan" as if it were carried down the mountain by Moses. Bit of a rule follower I guess.

[run2death]

I think if I was doing some complicated Daniels plans, I'd probably stick to the days more.

But this plan is just a MP run, a speedword day, a long run and 3 or 4 easy runs. It's kinda easy just to switch them around.

Lower back is hurting a bit today. Can’t tell if it’s the running or the riding or just lifting kegs at work. Time to roll some foam.

[verb_to_trust]

I rolled the shit out of my hip and I'm pretty sure it just set me back.

[run2death]

I was gonna take tomorrow off, but the Adios 4s came in today and they'll be staring at me all day tomorrow.

Massdrop has Altra Escalantes for $60. Do I dare?

[run2death]

Go for it.

They make good shoes, but I like narrow shoes so they aren't really for me.

[washing machine]

Near freezing temps and damp today. I’m going to get a run in after work but I’m really dreading it.

Massdrop has Altra Escalantes for $60. Do I dare?

I saw the same exact ad on my Facebook news feed. I'm crippled for life though, so I just kept scrolling.

[run2death]

I think the Adios 4s are better than previous editions.

They feel more responsive and the Torsion System is awesome, the heel to toe transfer is perfect. I also think they've add a bit more Boost material in the heel.

In short, they feel a bit more like Bostons, but are still lighter and more aggressive.

Whether or not they are worth $40 to $60 more than Bostons is another question.

I'm seeing the ad everywhere today. Hopefully they still have my size when I get home tonight.

[guestT]

They ran out.
