How many miles did you run today?

Looks like F1 telemetry data.

My guess is SB thought he had more time. Easy ride then decided to ramp it up after dinner was done early. 45min of work condensed into 30min.

18 miles around Leadville with more challenging singletrack than my last two rides.

Initially I couldn’t figure out how to make Sufferfest increase the wattage, so I just started the recovery ride at the indicated low level. After being bored for a bit, I realized I could switch out of erg mode into level and ride as hard as I wanted. But boredom led me to do some half-ass intervals.

21 lackluster miles with the bike club today. Couldn’t maintain threshold consistently. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I was looking at a house that popped up on the market nearby and I think I found @Dusty Heaters running shoe room:

I got in 8.4 miles yesterday afternoon. I dodged 2 little snakes on the path. One bright green one I almost landed on and another brown one that came flying out of the bushes to cross over. Neither were likely poisonous but I am not a snake person. Morning temps are in the 50s/60s so weekend morning runs should be nice.

Suddenly my existing shoe collection and display seems inadequate. Makes me want to smack some hoods in frustration.

^ If it makes you feel any less inadequate, I was nosy and looked up the owner of the house. Apparently it’s owned by the guy who started StockX so this those shoes are probably just “research” or a tax write-off or something.

That makes me feel worse. Asset protection is the one thing I love more than assets themselves.

20 miles today on the trails and part road to see if I could take 50K later this month and the answer is yes. My legs haven’t felt this good post 20mi and 3K vert ever and I think gym time has helped. My core felt great as well which is usually the first part before my form falls apart.

I should note the cooler temps helped today. I still sweat ****** off but not like those 100+ days.

 

[Michigan Planner]

^ The cooler temps have arrived here too, and more importantly the humidity seems to be gone for the season!

I was supposed to have a tough 30k this morning but it was canceled due to low registration. Oh well. I used the time to drive out to my favorite park in Metro Detroit and got in 15+ miles at an overall pace of 8:44/mile. I did two easy laps around the lake (each lap is about 2.3 miles) then a couple laps in the hillier parts before finishing with another easy lap (plus a bit extra). I gained 1,027’ of elevation and was still able to get a couple miles in under 8:00 towards the end. The perfect weather definitely helped with that!

Afterwards I went to the eye doctor to go pick up my new pair of glasses. My wife had been bugging me to get my eyes checked for years and after a small traffic accident earlier this summer and some realization that I can no longer read without jacking up the text size or holding the paper way far out, I finally decided to go to the doctor. After picking up my glasses today, all I can say is holy sh1t I was blind! ?

22.3 miles on the road bike at 19.1 MPH. I’m happy to say that the only person on a regular bike who passed me was drafting behind an e-bike.

A pretty solid week of training for me. September rolled in and the temps/humidity dropped 5-8 degrees which was HUGE. Can't wait to get back into the 40's. Third consecutive 70 mile week with the potential to bump up to 75 later for an extra 5. In the past 71 days I've taken a single day off.

11.3 miles to cap off a 60 mile week. Body feels good and ordered some supplies for my trail run. Date is now the 23rd of this month after a few recent changes…

8.3 miles today on the flats. Felt great again. This will be a down week as I am traveling this weekend but another ramp next week then prep for my run.
