6.3 miles @ 9:30 pace

3 miles at 31:50. I had Covid and it's taken awhile for the fatigue to subside, so i've only ran a few times over the last month.

Thanks guys. I needed a boost.

sounds like you've been boosting dr. peppers into your ass

I've been slowly recovering from whatever happened to my knee during the Brooklyn Half.

Yesterday was my first 6.5 mile run in like 6 weeks +. It went really well. 9:30 pace. Not too bad. Felt strong the whole time and probably could have pushed it a bit but wanted to take it easy.

How far had you been running?

Mostly just 3 miles. And I've been going at a very slow, 10:15/10:30 pace.

I have done two 5 milers, though. Each was a nightmare. Super tough. Felt every minute of them. This 6.5 was the first "good" run I've had in almost two months.

Oh man. Glad to hear that's improved.

Before Covid I had started trying to do 3.5-4 miles with as little walking as possible and ended up around that pace, maybe a little slow. I think I only made it 4 miles once without walking.

Good work, man. Love to hear you're still getting after it. Covid sucks, but it's cool that you're ready to hit the pavement again.

Another 6.5 miler this morning. 68 degrees outside. Felt awesome. 9:15 pace.

So far, so good with the knee too. Not feeling that ache/pull at all anymore.

My new strategy might be 1 long run a week.

How about two medium to long runs?

Why tho? What's your theory behind that?
