I see you also know how to Google "Indianapolis nicknames".

It’s the thesaurus-using that’s the hard part.
Hmmm I hope on a cool November morning it doesn't rain down in train town. We don't want to have a boring race. Hate to see a slowdown in naptown.
That's all I got. :p
I am looking forward to someone fitting "Amateur Sports Capital of the World" into the Indy discussion.
A question for you Daniels people. How long does it take to go up a Vdot?
I've got a sheet of my races with VDOTs and age grades just for fun, and here's what I have for DOTs:
Apologies for the cruddy formatting, it doesn't copy paste over nicely.

yep JQ.. mileage is KING. the prevailing LRC opinion...is dead on.

Would be interesting to see this data with your weekly mileage avg during that time period... but yea, I agree with RRR

It would. When dude starting popping them 100 mile weeks he started popping them races!
Thanks jot quill. Very impressive improvements.
That would actually be some really cool data to track! May take sometime to formally organize that but for now here's some rough overview with some notable races
01/2018 - 02/2018: 20-30mpw -> 1:25 HM
04/2018 - 05/2018: 40-50mpw -> 2:59 M
05/2018 - 10/2018: 50-60mpw (+fair amount triathlon related x-training) -> 2:46 M
12/2018 - 04/2019: 100-110mpw -> 1:16 HM, 2:46 M (not the greatest day at Boston)
05/2019 - 07/2019: 60-80mpw -> 4:52 mile, 34:58 10K
07/2019 - now: 90-100mpw -> 4:38 mile (?? lol), feeling like sub 1:15 and sub 2:40 fitness, but will have to prove it
My year over year .. the only course I ran 3 years in a row were in october
2016 (first year running) - 19:12
2017 - 17:30
2018 - 16:57
all solo efforts so it was the same conditions so to speak. Not running it this year as it is next saturday and dont have the time to travel back home for it.

Here’s a chart of my VDOT progression.
https://imgur.com/gallery/j8CzkMMThese are all marathons except for the last point, which is Houston half. There are two anomalous marathon results due to heat (Boston 2014) and a suspected short course (Feb 2016) but otherwise the progression is fairly linear - roughly 1-2 vdots per year.
I thought Pappy's question was for training purposes (in which case I'm pretty sure the book says don't move up a VDOT more than once every 4 weeks?), but this is fun to look at too.
Here's all the races I have recorded anyway...
Thanks for the responses. I'm just going to have to ignore Daniels lol. I'm going to need to improve quicker. Hopefully I'll be able to stay ahead of the progression curve.
Fitting a cubic polynomial to the data is clearly the responsible choice if I don’t want to see an inexorable march toward decrepitude.

Hah!
Insert the Simpson’s NERDS. Gif.
I just went up one, by accident.
Just ran 12 miles at goal MP -0:09, so I ran 7:01 vs the 7:10 I was targeting.
Two weeks ago I just started running all Tempo paces at 10 seconds faster, and making sure to add 6x100 strides once a week. Then this happened. I’m so confused, yet encouraged.

Wasn’t no accident bro. Trained harder and got into better shape sounds like.
