The Running Thread

It's not a competition. We're all in this together. And if it was a competition, you'd be winning

[lennytheweedwhacker]

You win. Goodbye.

Went to the greenway and did 2 miles, read for 30 minutes, then did another 2 miles. Far cry from what I was doing in the spring. I've probably peaked.

I'm going to try something similar tomorrow, but not sure I can do 2 miles each set.

[epilogue]

Took a week off because I was out of town. But got back at it today. 4.15 miles on the treadmill at a 9:30 pace. Felt pretty good, body wise. But the gym was fucking hot as shit. There was like no air moving at all. I felt like a steamed dumpling. Would have liked to get 2 more miles in but I cut it short. Planning to get outside tomorrow (the rain seems to have passed) for another 3-5.

I was too when I first started running due to the heart rate zone stuff I was reading online. I told my doc and had some tests run, but nothing abnormal came back. I don't think I'll ever be able to decrease it much. It gets pretty high even when I run slowly.

What's your general distance, pace, heart rate?

i still dont have watch, so no idea on my heart rate. usually 4 miles in 30 min?

[lennytheweedwhacker]

I quit.

Former RM legend Alex challenged me to run 3 miles without walking. I went to a new area and wouldn’t be shocked if my watch distance was a little generous, but it was 3 miles in 29:00. It felt slower.

[The Argonaut]

Nice. v good

[Malloy]

heck yes dg

[lennytheweedwhacker]

Thanks...Maybe one day I will be like you guys.

I ran 5 miles in 58 minutes on Tuesday. I was killer sick on Wednesday and have been very tired since. I don't think I could get to 6 miles in an hour by the time winter comes, so I think I'm going to focus on incorporating some sprints or fast runs. HIIT

Get it. Sprints are tough.

I've never done more than 5 miles at a time. One of my previous life goals was a 10k in an hour. Maybe I can get back to going more than 3 to 3.5 miles here soon.

[epilogue]

3.3 @ 10.07 pace yesterday.

50 minutes of weights/cross training today.

Hopefully six miles tomorrow.

[Bammer]

I gotta run tomorrow. See you there.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

Checked out at two miles today.

7.36 today. Gorgeous weather.
