Re: The Running Thread
I'll probably end up with 1220 or so miles for 2020. I lost about 10 weeks with surgery. I want next year to be a big year. Maybe a destination marathon in the fall just for an excuse to travel somewhere?

Jesus. Even if I wasn't a road runner that sounds miserable. You are supposed to patronize businesses along the way but you can't use their bathroom?ghost wrote:Let's do this https://tuscobiawinterultra.com/verb_to_trust wrote:I'll probably end up with 1220 or so miles for 2020.

Re: The Running Thread
I think bathrooms are allowed. They have weird rules though. Like you can sit and have a burger and a beer at a bar in the middle of the race, but if you accept food from a friend it's a DQ.verb_to_trust wrote:Jesus.

Re: The Running Thread
I would never do that race. My friend has attempted it a few times and it sounds horrific.

I would love to see that. The challenges of winter racing would put him way out of his comfort zone. You can't tough your way through frostbite.verb_to_trust wrote:Goggins would do it

Re: The Running Thread
got back out today after what's felt like months...jogged/walked one mile at 10:20, then walked exclusively around 2.10 miles...came back around and jogged the same road i did the first mile on...there were some small downhills that helped, but somehow i did the whole mile without stopping...no clue how i pulled that off, but i'm happy

I'd wear shoes. I'm just not sure what the point of soaking a pair of shorts in sweat is in the privacy of my own home.washing machine wrote:That's one way to take the minimalist running credo to heart, I guess.verb_to_trust wrote:I think I might try running naked on my treadmill

Re: The Running Thread
The only question for me is what job the liner in my running shorts actually performs. Would there be problems running completely uncaged? Who knows

Re: The Running Thread
Ran 5 on the tread then went outside shirtless and shoveled some heart attack snow out of the end of my driveway. I had used the snowblower earlier but the plows always blast a bunch back in. I must have looked like such a badass dripping in sweat in 5' running shorts with pink shoes on.
