How many miles did you run today? - Page 514

Absolutely, we'd still be living in caves if people only did things they knew they could!

"crisis" averted, I found my sportband in a drawer at work (?).

 

last night 8.36mi @ 6'51". Temp still in the low 60s at 9pm, this might be the best time of the year for running here.

I got in 5 miles this morning... on the treadmill.

I never wear a watch or timer when I run in races. I also never really come close to winning ever races so take that for what it's worth.

4 miles for me in Autmnal nearly gales

I'm pretty sure it was fueling and not distance....I completed 10 and 11 mile runs in the past few weeks with no problems, so I didn't think 12 would give me any trouble. I was running slow on purpose as well, to make sure I could finish the run. I wasn't carrying a gel with me, but like Fueco said, my body was telling me something was definitely wrong, so I just stopped instead of trying to push through it. I had more than a few adult beverages the previous day, so that could be to blame I'm going to try again next Sunday, and I think I'll fare much better that time around.

Better news today - finished 6 miles at 9:03 pace, which I think is almost 10 seconds per mile faster than my previous best at 6 miles.

Fuck it.
Tried running again after almost 2 weeks without due to ITBS shit. Daily foam rolling and stuff.
Didnt work.
Was back home after almost 30mins, knees hurt again.

7.25 miles with some speedwork intervals today.

Just over 4 miles. You guys always put me to shame.

3.1 miles today, finished in 25:36 (8:15 pace), which is nearly 3 minutes faster than the 5K I ran last month

This morning, 6 miles.

Happy Thanksgiving, all!

8 miles. This is the warmest Thanksgiving that we've had in years.

3 miles for me - dark, wet and gale force winds. I had fun as you can tell!

4.3 miles today. Bright, dry, but very windy. Good time here too.

Tried a new pair of NB M890 v2 shoes. Pretty nice run in them. Relatively light (9oz) and decent cushion with 8mm drop. Nice for a trainer in short or longer distance.
Also tried the Asics Hyperspeed 5 the other day and sent them back. Liked nothing about them but they did get some very good customer reviews on RW so others may have better runs in them.

nice job! keep it up

I like the v2's with one exception, the extra achilles padding drives my foot into the front of the shoe on hilly runs and causes mass toe issues. I had a pair of the v1s I loved. RE runners world reviews - don't trust them. running times is more reliable source for reviews. The hyperspeeds have sucked since the 3's. The new balance MRC1600 is a great flat in that category. Really Really good shoe.
I am working at a running store these days so I try on everything I can.
The Kinvara/New Balance 880/Air Pegasus are three of the best trainers out right now in my opinion.

Today ran a "10k" turkey trot in 32:51 for second overall. Should have won!!!! Made a move to catch the leader who I thought was in the 10k to draft on an uphill into the wind section of the course, but as I caught him, he smacked me and the ass and turned off for the 5k finish line. Wasted a lot of energy there, then got passed at mile 4.5 and got gapped a bit. Thought I would have a full K to kick to the end, but the course ended at 5.95 miles. My time was more realistically 34 flat. Still very happy with the finish, just wished it was a legit course.

This will be the last race of my season before shutting it down for a bit before Spring Track/Possible Marathon.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING,
Sam
