RE: Describe Your Running Today

How fast were those 1320s, RD? Work=rest gives a fair amout of recovery. Have you done anything as intense as 2:03 average for 8x800m since? What are you training for right now? Sorry for all the questions. You've become quite a celebrity since that famous workout. "1320" is an old term for 3/4 mile. ie 1320 yards. Are you doing them on an old track?

Ahhh, that last post wasn't me. I'm not sure who is trying to steal my handle, but I've got a good idea. Anyway I remember RD's workout post and he never mentioned 800m as this faux-Hammy implies. Others pointed that out, but some still would not let go of the 800m thing. I guess they're just looking for a fight. I applaud RD for taking the high road.

Fartleked about 30 minutes after 20 w/u, continuous.

Uh...yes he did. It's deleted now, for good reason. But some people here remember 8x800m divided into two sets with 45 seconds recovery, all at 2:06 or faster. Way faster in fact. Gee, why doesn't R.D. (Hammy?) just answer the bleeping questions. He doesn't because it's all b.s. and some innocent people here are actually buying this daily dosage. Too bad really.

And these are good questions for R.D., whoever the asker is. Don't expect straight answers though.

I can't answer the question because I did not do the workout. I have, however, already stated that it was made clear weeks ago that the distance was not 800 METERS. Maybe it was 800 yards, 800 feet, 800 inches, 800 smoots, or whatever. Why don't you just ask one of those people you mentioned who remember the posts? Obviously you're going to believe whatever you want just so you can continue your petty taunting of this fellow. Anyway, that's all I'm going to say on that.

Back to reality. Today a nice 40 minutes through some nearby neighborhoods. A few flexibility/strength drills afterward.

Good stuff, vic, special, and Hammy! You guys are doing a great job.

We've got a good thing going here. Don't let the troll win! We drove him out once, we can do it again. Just ignore him and he'll go away.

Today I did a nice easy 45' recovery run then a good lifting session. Coach was a little bitchy today, so no massage.

Rock on!

Weeks ago i warned Skuja that Hammy was u-know-who and i was right! Same person as rundog. Skujins. There have been trolls who do stuff for a day or two but to stretch it out for weeks surprised even me.

like 2 billion miles hard

Happy with the answers so far? ;) (Some advice, don't hold ur breath. It's all been b.s.))

DNR, unpleasnat end of the day at work. How do you deal with an unhygenic supervisor (female) when upper management turns a blind eye, or in this case nose, to the issue?

Easy 75 minute run ending at the pond for a swim. Very enjoyable!

No running today. Maybe tomorrow.

Another easy 40 min. The weather has been great: cool and low humidity. How long will that last?

today i ran a 2400 in 7:24

That's great, 430miler! And I'm proud of the rest of you too!

Today the schedule called for 60' with the middle 20' at tempo pace. Followed by light stretching because coach cut me off early to start the massage. I guess she felt bad about her attitude the other day, because she really worked it good today. She's got great hands.v :)

Short run, 25:33. AHR 141 MHR 155.

Stretching following.

planned run:

easy recovery day, jog to a stretch of bike path (3-5 minutes), do legswings, 45 min easy, do bare foot toe-heel walk, do core work, stretch for a good 15 minutes

Yesterday, about 80 minutes with including a 30 minute chunk at tempo pace. Contemplating a day off today...
