I've had some of my best races under-trained and some of my worst doing 100+ mile weeks.

Start slow, talk to people, have fun, dude. If you feel good, pick up the pace. It's hard to crater in a 50K.

And don't overdo the carbo-load.

I think Fall running weather gives you an edge if you think you're white knuckling it a little. That cool crisp Wisconsin air will be a boost.

You guys are right. I'm gonna kill this thing or get pneumonia trying.

Currently in second this week among RMERS.

I will probably run a half marathon in the next day or two.

It was a glorious AZ morning for running.

Mid-50s and blasting sun. Perfection.

I haven’t joined the app yet but I will. Good news is I haven’t run either so there’s no loss there. I again am hoping to get this going again over the weekend. How I ran the Brooklyn Half marathon in May and have to work towards the thanksgiving 5k is beyond me.

Good luck tomorrow, guestT.

You got this!

Thanks! It's gonna be a good time one way or another.

I think I found it and requested to join.

Nice to have you on Strava, liebzz.

You killed it today, guestT.

Thanks man. That was the hardest thing I've ever done. So many hills. Everythingg hurts this morning. But I can't wait to do it again.

Welcome, liebzz!

Congrats!

I got a laugh out of this

So I imagine the runnning season is kinda coming to an end for a lot of us at this time of year. My question is, how do you view your progress this year?

Personally, I improved a lot. I went from running a typical 6.5km route last year to running 12 and then 21 km this year. I put in a decent number of 15-17km runs too. I also think I made a lot of progress with my one mangled ankle so I am happy about that.

I'm not sure what I will do next year. A marathon is a nice thought but it's hard to say how realistic that is.

My running season has just started.

Yeah I run all winter. A few times a year I take it easy for a month but I actually never completely stop unless I'm injured. I'm not sure if that's smart or not but that's how I do it.

As far as progress I did pretty well this year. Started off the year rough with that terrible bone bruise that knocked me out for a few months in January and February but will still end up with well over a thousand miles. I was on track to finish my first marathon in October until my travel plans got scrapped. Overall I think I improved and have become more disciplined.
