And any longer than 4 hours and I literally ache all over getting up. Getting old I guess. My Dr once told me that carrying too much muscle could affect my circulation depending on the type of mattress I used and what position I slept in. That's one of the bigger reasons I started down-sizing the last couple of years!

Same. I love the pacing info from RK. I listen to music if I'm running on the treadmill 100% of the time. Outside - only if I'm running alone.

There's a park down here by the river and there's absolutely no lights at all and its pitch black with deer running all over the place. The roads are curvy as you can't see what's around the corner until your in it. The stupid part is there's a bike trail only a couple of miles down the road which is about 50+ miles that they can run in. Instead they think it's a good idea to put their life on the line and run on the main road with no shoulder, in the dark with no reflective gear or light markers. So to protect myself I drive with my high beams on and blind the shit out of them not to be a dick but that's just common sense or they don't give 2 efs for their own safety

I was challenged almost a decade ago to try a 10k and embraced endurance sports as a whole as a result, haven't stopped since
I'm primarily a road cyclist now days, but maintain some running fitness and run a few trail and road races in the fall off-season, after racing bikes all summer. I think most people so far sound like road runners primarily, any trail folks in here?

Almost another PR tonight. Missed by about 10 seconds. I got all sloppy on my arm form and was just flailing to finish. Got home and my blood sugar was only 47. That is a big reason I limit my distance to 3-4 miles, although I'm half considering a team half marathon next December for Santa

This is a great thread, I will say for everyone out there find a race distance you like and sign up. Signing up for a race is a prime way to stick with running goals as you are shooting to accomplish something. I remember all the races I did last year as there was so many from 5k to half marathon. It wasnt until I signed up for a full marathon that I thought....ok its time to really train now. 13 miles is one thing but 26 miles is another ball game as a lot of science in the body changes after 90 minutes of running and if you dont know that you can fail miserably. So I thought, No more 40 miles a week and ramped it up to 70 miles a week with speed training, Hill training, tempo runs etc. Little did I know where I stood in the pack of performance when I qualified for Boston on my first try in a marathon....i was pumped....and that was only the beginning. I cant stress enough to anyone getting into running or training for a race to train smart...dont run EVERYDAY and play it smart. If anyone ever needs tips or advice and is on Garmin shoot me a PM and I can add you in. I provide training support and guidance based on seeing your workouts. And dont forget FOOD is the key to great performance. Cheers Everyone and Happy Running, Be Safe out there!

Finding structure is great and motivation (and smart), I always stress ensuring you enjoy it somehow, some way, no matter what too though. For some it's training, for some it's being outside, general fitness/health. I like the training process, but I can get easily motivated by just wanting to run in a new pair of Nike Vaporfly's haha.

Unfortunately can't see myself doing a full marathon anytime soon haha. I think I could manage a half, but training for that would put a damper on my lifting routine. Maybe one day when I get bored of lifting, but after almost a decade the passion for it is still there.
I believe the most I've ever ran in a week was around 30 miles, so nothing too crazy. Although I'm getting back into running now as I'm cutting an prepping for my wedding in Sept. In regards to the topic, Charleston Marathon is this weekend, so that'll be something. It's going to cut off my route to work and trap me there if I go in Saturday, so give me a good excuse to take off haha. Also circles my gym so I have to find a way to get there! |

That's right!!! You have a wedding coming up. I have been meaning to ask and keep forgetting, but how is Charleston treating you? I hope the transition was easy. I love that place and we go every year multiple times although I'm sure I already mentioned that.

Lot of planning for the wedding, but thankfully my fiance is great with all of that and really enjoys the planning. She found a job right off the bat too which was awesome. A coworker at her last job (in New Jersey) actually interviewed and was offered a job at the company she now works at so she had some connections! Small world haha. |

New 10k road race record set this past weekend - 26:24 by Rhonex Kipruto. That's flying!

My first races of the year will be in April - three 5ks and one 10 miler. Having a race to plan for is definitely helpful for motivation!

Next year. So I have been adjusting my stride to be much shorter, for my 3-4 mile distances. I can't give all the credit for the reduced times to just new shoes, right? |

Do you pay much attention to spm or more just stride length? I've definitely seen positive results in hunting for 180 spm. With that said, you mentioned shoes. That's a whole can of worms I love thinking about, because I am a gear nerd lol. What are you typically wearing?

When I shorten up, it seems to be a significant change in spm. And that is wreaking HAVOC with my breathing. I'm finding myself winded about 3/4 way thru my normal distance. Over the decades I have matched a complete breath cycle to 8 steps. But when my steps are this much shorter I can get as much volume in/out. I did cut :28 off my 5k from a month ago though
I did the last 1/2 alternating short and long according to telephone poles

Surprise rest day for me from running today - but I was due for a day off.
Definitely on pace for my yearly goal so far.
