How many miles did you run today?

[Michigan Planner]

Nice! Which one did you pick up? I’ve also been debating another as it’s basically the only thing I reach for on cold days now.

I got the blaze orange one. It looked like the most reflective, plus, I really like orange so it was a win/win.

This is the one: https://cieleathletics.com/shop/cr2beanie-spectro/

If I order a second one, I think I just want another of the same.

Here I am rocking it with my “frosted tips” this morning (my hair was actually a lot icier when I got done but thawed out a bit when I went into the garage to set down my glasses).

5 sluggish miles of flat gravel and dirt. Temps in the low 50s.

4.5 sluggish miles this afternoon, 8:30 pace overall. I was lazy and put off running until midday and by that time my mind was elsewhere and could not commit. Oh well, always tomorrow.

Two hour long run - 16.3mi, 7:22 avg pace, 146bpm.

Steady progression first 10 miles followed by 2x2mi at goal pace with a mile recovery inbetween. Much more challenging with the intermittent ice fields.

Managed to run the longest time ever. I jogged a whopping 26min straight. I then walked another 4 min before turning around and walking home which took another hour. I’m guessing maybe 5.5-6 miles total.

8.2 miles today in weird weather conditions. Phone said 48 but it felt a lot colder so tights and a long sleeve. I get half way into my run and the warmer air settled in making in warm. Felt great overall which was nice after a week off.

I think he’s saying 5.5-6 miles for the entire time, including the hour of walking.

Ahhhh...I didn’t catch the hour reference haha. I saw the 26 minute job and mileage reference. Thought we had an Olympian on the thread!

12 “miles” this morning, last workout before tomorrow’s ramp test.

This. I did like 2.75-3 miles one way continuous jogging for 26 min and then 4 min of walking. Then I turned around and walked home which took like an hour.

Hi everyone. Good to see you all getting out (or in, in some cases). It's started to get a bit cold here; it was -18ºC (-0.5ºF) when I went out at 7:30 this morning for an easy just under 15km (9 1/3 miles). This is what I looked like when I got back...

Anyway, it's been a pretty good last couple of weeks - I had an 11-day streak, which is something I usually avoid, but I had hardly run at all in the first two weeks of the month, and I wanted to get to 175km (109 miles) by the end of January - which I did. About half have my runs have been easy between 10.2 and 18.2km (6 1/3 to 11 1/3 miles), a quarter have been distance intervals (1km on, 1 km off, usually over 10.6 km / 6 1/2 miles), and a quarter cross-country hill repeat / strength laps (around 7km / 4 1/3 miles for each session).

Next month will be much the same, except I'm going to try to run 6 days a week all month and aim at 200-250km (125-155 miles).

8.4 miles today at just under 8min/mi. At first it was a normal 8 miler then about 2 miles in I decided to pick it up in quarter mile increments. After 5-6 of those I just kept the pace up. Finished feeling great but slow compared to my former self.

Temps were around 50 when I started then dropped down by the time I was done. Weird weather here with chance of snow tomorrow.
