Sup bro

I just decided running isn't for me. I was holding onto my youth when i would go out for 13 mile runs on saturday. This was in Minnesota.

It fell by the wayside when I moved to Colorado but i just thought that if i tried more, got different shoes, a new playlist, whatever....that I would love doing it again.

I used to be able to get lost in my head or music. It doesnt happen anymore. Im out.

Go in peace, my friend. We'll always have hiking.

Waiting for my wife to get home and watch the kids so I can go out for a run

ty bro

Can someone check Strava and tell me if my run today was better than King Joseph's?

Now that I'm running again, I'm finding myself making better time, but gassing out somewhat quicker than I used to. Guess that'll change over time

It was.

But "better" is kinda malleable.

I'm not sure what you mean. Did I kick his bald ass or not?

I was planning on running tomorrow but it looks like I might go camping. Congrats, Verb you get the win this week but I will be back in competition for the foreseeable future, so don't get too comfortable.

Fall is just around the corner, fellas.

should have a few months of great running

Managed to get in a couple of runs this weekend which was good. Was a little wary about going for a run today as I hadn't eaten much during the day and had drunk hardly any water, but absolutely smashed my previous best times for 3km, 5km and 7km so I was happy

Do you prefer running after food?

I know I do. When I see those Mexican snack carts with duros and dried mango pedaling a few blocks ahead of me on a walk, I just take off!

It was 3pm. I hadn't eaten since 9am

Oh, I see. That makes sense. I'm an empty stomach runner. I tend to prefer running in the morning. But if I do run in the afternoon or evening, I try not to eat much during the day. I'm sure there's science out there that says that's a bad way to handle it. But here we are.

Of course, I'm used to eating at like 7:30am and then not again until 7 or 8pm (on days when I don't run/workout).

Courtney Dauwalter won UTMB.

She is such a fucking stud.

Ran 10 yesterday. Was supposed to be a pace run, and I figure a 7:38 pace gives me a 3:20 marathon, which would be more than acceptable after 2 years away. But I felt really good and managed a 7:15 pace. Today I followed it with a very hilly 20 miler and averaged a 7:29 pace. I’m farther along than I thought.

The Twin Cities marathon is still 5 weeks away. The big problem is I have a very exhausting day before the race and would likely get 5 hours of sleep at best the night before. Still, I’ve put on so many miles this summer that I’d like to get a race in before a long winter of training to hit my 3:10 Boston time at Fargo in May. If this weekend is any indication, I don’t think 3:15 is out of reach in 5 weeks.

Super impressive, Daft. Good work. Keep it up! That's awesome.

Supportive words, your highness!!

I put a run in but I have to go hiking tomorrow so I felt I shouldn't do the extra few km for the win over verb. congrats verb.
