How many miles did you run today?

[about11oclock]

6 and a quarter for me tonight. I hurt one of my buddies by driving the pace, which is always fun

4 miles this morning. Temperature, 6 degrees. But no wind. Somewhere, I read that applying Vaseline gel on the cheeks helps diminish the sting of the cold. Maybe it is a placebo, but I think it works. I've been doing TRX/kettlebell training for about a month, and I can see an improvement in my endurance and speed when running.

45 minutes at 7:15 pace. 8 out of 10 on incline....I think im ready to hit outside again. Lungs are better.
Still 0 carbs but felt awesome today, so perhaps I broke my metabolisim.

I cannot imagine a world without carbs. Inconceivable. Much respect for forgoing them and continuing with solid miles.
Workout tonight, 10.5 miles total
2 mile warm up on the track, then
4 x 1 mile in 5:30, 5:29, 5:33, 5:32. W/ 45 seconds recovery. The pace was not too tough to keep up, so I think I will go for a sub 5:30 pace in my next 5k.
4.5 mile cool down.
I am feeling really beat, tomorrow will definitely be an easy day.

20 miles, slow steady paste. Still a bit knee issues, my condition is probably the best i have ever experienced - but my knees are holding me back

Cranked out 7.85 miles in 52:21 this morning in Cenral Park. Ran in my new NB 890's. Super cushy and light. Very pleased with them after my first run in them.

 

[samblackbones]

put 8.8 behind me today in a little over an hour.
ran in my speedstars instead of my mana's and found it easier to run a mellow pace.

 

[antirabbit]

its an experiment. I had some viral issue that hit my lungs, so running outside would have led to some real issues.
With that said, ive been wondering if I could convert my metabolisim over to prefering fats as fuel opposed to glycogen.
Its not a success, I really havent tested a run over 10 miles.
I will do this tomorrow.
I have gotten faster and my PF is in check finally.

[NewYorkIslander]

6.4 today with my kids pushing them into a very stiff wind for much of it...quite a workout.

Some Tomfoolery at the end:

Whatcha holding there daddy?

Progression Long Run . . . .
Decided I would push either 10 or 11 mile progression and follow that up with a cool down on the way home. There is a nice nature reserve near my house along the Santa Ana river where there is a one mile looped trail where I ran the final 8 of my progression. All in all the run was a success and I relaxed enough on the cool down to push a sub 6:30 final mile. Here are the splits
1\t00:07:03\t1.00\t07:03
2\t00:06:58\t1.00\t06:58
3\t00:06:57\t1.00\t06:57
4\t00:06:51\t1.00\t06:51
5\t00:06:50\t1.00\t06:50
6\t00:06:47\t1.00\t06:47
7\t00:06:42\t1.00\t06:42
8\t00:06:37\t1.00\t06:37
9\t00:06:31\t1.00\t06:31
10\t00:06:24\t1.00\t06:25
11\t00:06:15\t1.00\t06:15
cool down:
12\t00:07:34\t1.00\t07:34
13\t00:07:23\t1.00\t07:23
14\t00:07:03\t1.00\t07:03
15\t00:06:29\t1.00\t06:29
16\t00:00:05\t0.01\t07:13
The area I ran is a bird sanctuary and I saw some interesting avian species along the way, although I can hardly tell a swan from a duck without my glasses on.
Very happy with this weeks mileage.
I am headed to Mammoth lakes on tuesday to snowboard but I will try and find Meb and the Mammoth track club out on the roads.
