very precise. I dig it.
AJ - good to see you around.
Question for AJ or Slow or any of the Canova fans. Looking for long run ideas for tomorrow. Nine weeks out from goal race, last week of “base” work before moving into the specific phase. I was planning on doing a special block but commitments aren’t going to afford me the ability to double up in the evening. So maybe something around 20-22 with some changes in pace? Already been through 20 at 90-95%, Dos Santos, etc.
22 with/ 12-14 at goal race pace.

hahaha OOF! Even if it wasn't going to be 108 tomorrow I think that's a bit ambitions :)
Military time is the only real way to tell time.
AM and PM is the dumbest thing ever.

Thanks guys. Yes, 4:30 AM. Making sure that running doesn't interfere with the stimulation of a housebound toddler while my wife cares for our one month old is integral to marital bliss.
Ain't that the truth. I love my kids, but I only work out when my youngest is napping or both kids are in bed. I'm not an early riser, but getting it done late at night is better than nothing. Life is all about compromise.
Stoked to see your 10k time. The poor 10k gets no love next to the 5k and half
Rhodium Nights: I do start all of my summer runs by 5 AM, which at least makes it tolerable--though this will be the first time I've trained *seriously* through a Phoenix summer so I think that's requiring an adjustment. Also, I've gone on vacation to Florida a couple times during May and that is next level with the humidity.
Cocoon: I appreciate it. While it's an almost five minute PR, I'm hoping that with another year of consistent training under my belt it's achievable.
JTA: Thanks - seems like we're about at the same place fitness-wise so looking forward to tracking your progression.
HHW: After almost a year of consistent, semi-structured training I'm finding I most enjoy things like progression runs and fartleks. Not sure of the efficacy of this versus something more structured, but with my current PRs the most important thing is probably just staying consistent/injury-free and building mileage versus worrying about the details.

Damn that's hot!! Arizona?! Texas?
Hmm maybe 6-8 at race pace?

Say it louder for the people in the back!! :D
Here in Taipei, almost everything "official" (train scheds, for example) is done on a 24-clock. But when people talk to each other, no one ever says the Mandarin equivalent of "thirteen o'clock." So it's as if we're running two systems simultaneously.
Of course, growing up on the "imperial" system and now living "metric," growing up speaking English and now communicating in Chinese, my brain has bifurcated to the point where part of me still thinks that I can run fast, AM or PM.

When did you move to Taiwan? So cool!!! Are you going to stay there permanently?

Not as dumb as yo mama
I've been here since 1992. I own a house here in Taipei. My wife is Taiwanese and I have a daughter ready to start her first year in college. Been here most of my adult life. You're in Japan, right? It's nice to have someone in my same time zone.

No brainer. Stepping stones.
4 x (1 mile at MP + 40, 1 mile MP + 10, 1 mile MP - 20). No breaks. Continuous alternations. Do it again in 5-6 weeks to gauge fitness.
Goddamn dude. So when people complain about humidity you must think to yourself "You weaklings. You don't even know what humidity is. I haven't been dry in decades"

I am moving to Japan in less than a month!
I might never leave. From everything I've heard/read/seen/talked to from people who are already there, it sounds breaktaking!
Will definitely visit Taipei sometime in the next year!
And by leave, I mean return to the United States after I get out there. I leave the U.S. on July 4th.

Looks like Jeff is enjoying a crisp 90 degrees with 79 dew point in Taipei at 0830. Great running weather.
