RE: Describe Your Running Today

Perv-

That must of been before she got the restraining order...just breaking your balls.

No run today.

Today I did 20min jog + 3 short inclined strides + a 60sec inclined run at a moderate effort + a 32min jog.

For a variety of reasons, my sessions for the next several weeks at least shall nearly always be:

Warmup jog as required + a few strides / a very short "workout" + an easy run which could be as long as 15km or more, maybe even 20km in a few weeks.

So, the speedy stuff will be so short that I can do it daily, and, it might not be very speedy at all haha. 10x400m or 3x1600m is just NOT for me. Maybe 1x1600m, or 1x400m!!! :)

And, sometimes, many km of running will follow the speedy stuff. I won't be spent.

Horrible.

Painful.

Fun!

Let us know how the second one went. :)

Today I did 30min jog + (4x200m + 800m) in spikes, 54-43-38-34-2:31, not pushing very hard, + 16min jog.

Oh, all right then :]

Not so horrible.

Not so painful.

Further!

And even more fun.

Let's see if I can keep this going for more than a few months.

My run today;

For 34:31, 4x round block. AHR 139. MHR 163.

Included; 1:41/1:40, 1:54/1:54, 1:33/1:51, 1:50/2:01, 1:26/2:00, 1:42/jog 3:27, 1:06/1:27, 1:01/1:20, 1:00/1:40, 1:27 to finish.

Walk cooldown.

Raced a 5K last night. I was about 6 seconds slower than last year. That'll piss a person off. I've convinced myself that it was a better effort than the time indicated because: 1. The course had more turns and wasn't as flat as before; 2. I didn't hurl after the race, which makes this the first time I've ever raced a 5K without puking copiously at the end; and 3. I felt ridiculously fresh after the race and this morning as well. So maybe I should have tried harder. But 5Ks, I find, are hard to nail if you haven't done any racing for months in advance. So all in all, I'm thinking that I left 15 seconds, maybe, on the table. Which is pure delusion, no doubt, but hey, I'd bet I'm not the only one who fools himself into believing that he's fitter than the cold hard evidence of a race pretty much proves beyond the shadow of a doubt. I'm going with the delusion, though, as it will aid me in next weekend's half marathon where I want to get through 10K in under 34 before, only to implode over the final 5K. Then I'll create some tissue of lies about why I'm actually faster than 1:13 or 1:14. Fun!!

Imploding over the last 5 km? Tissue of lies why the race went South? Sub 34 for the 10 km split? :)

How I once was less than a minute slower than my PR for my first 5 mile split for the 1975 Vancouver Marathon. Targeting the 2 1/2 hr. barrier. Wound up with 2:43:19.

Gotta love this game huh?! :)

My run today:

5 miles out through downtown Ann Arbor, then 5 right back. Time was 46:32 at the turn around, and then 1:31:03 at the finish. Felt pretty good, a little harder on the way back.

Hoping to make varsity this fall.... (highschool)

Sorry Chris, but Laqwita does not exist. And even if she did, real black girls do not roller skate.

blisters from roller skating with g/f last night.

havent ran today, but my weatherbug reads 97 degrees + 40% humidity so my 12 miler that will take place in the next 30min wont be so comfortable.

My run today:

A 42:52 run AHR 135 MHR 151. Out & back, very easy for 22:51 AHR 129. Return in 20:01 AHR 142 MHR 151.

blisters have gone away.

60 minutes recovery for me today. was supposed to only be 45 but oh well.

Back in the saddle after a little time off following my last race. Did an easy 50' yesterday. Starting to gear up again. Sub 16:00 soon?

Since my last report, I did:

Sat - 0

Sun - about 60min total, which included 4 short strides + a 41sec surge. Plus some running with my wife, who was doing a Half Ironman Tri.

Mon - 15min jog + 4 short strides + 1:56 surge + 35min easy.

I'm glad you joined us, 430. Love yer posts too, Fast Old Man.

10 smooth 200's today. 29-30seconds. about 90 seconds recovery after each one. 5 min break after first 5.

changed direction after each one.

6*300, off 3 mins - 42, 42, 42, 43, 43, 43

Today I did 10min jog + (1000-800m-600m-400m-200m) as a warmup (4:15-3:20-2:15-1:20-:36) + 1200m hardish, but not killer, in 3:47 + 20min jog.

Earlier this year I dreamed of something close to 4:30 in our July 1st Road Mile. I must now accept that 4:45ish is likely, and sub 4:40 will be miraculous. It's just how things seem to be in 2007. I'm enjoying myself, don't get me wrong. But, for various reasons, anything around 4:30 just ain't going to happen! I'm still thrilled by the event, and I'm going to have a blast - 4:30 or 4:50.

2:15 hills, many hills, followed by beer, Newcastle Brown Ale.

DOn't mess with the beer.
