The Running Thread

Did a 5k race today and finished at 28:40. I haven’t been able to run much at all the past month with a sinus infection that caused a lot of fatigue, so I wasn’t sure how this would go. I would have been content with 30:00 considering, so I’m very happy with this.

I’ll stress that no way could I do this on pavement, or even a treadmill. Taking the impact out of the equation works much better for my body.

tbh I didn't even pay attention to the part about the machine. How does it differ in exertion to pavement or treadmill?

[lennytheweedwhacker]

Did two moderately paced miles. The first felt alright, but the second was a struggle. I don't know what's going on with my stupid white legs.

Air quality is still too poor to run outside today so I did my first treadmill run in a long while. Felt fine other than the temp in the gym. It was a thousand degrees, so I only did 3.5 miles. Still, I must have dropped ten pounds in water weight.

Congrats on your loss!

Very nice.

Going out in a bit. Hope to up my mileage because it's been short runs only recently. I'll listen to my bod.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

My body hates me.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

3 slow miles that still felt like a slog, but I went whatevs.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

3 miles in 28:15. Most normal run I’ve had in two months.

I've learned to be okay with taking the summer months more or less off, but good job guys. I peep this thread from time to time and everybody's work looks amazing.
