How many miles did you run today?

[kjb]

I love running in the cold and my performance is substantially better. 32, sunny, light wind — wore half tights and a tank top.

18 miles at 7:38/mi @ 143bpm. First half at my base pace and second half progressive splits. Feeling really good — not tired or sore at all. Things are looking up, knock on wood.

Spoiler: Splits

That’s awesome DH. Glad you’re getting back to 100%.

Thanks guys. Just putting in the miles week by week and staying cautiously optimistic.

@sugarbutch. I’m pretty large for a distance runner (5’11” 190lbs) and I think all that extra weight makes me run hotter.

I mean, sure, but the first couple of miles must be...brisk.

4 miles today on feel just seeing if I can burn off some of a migraine that’s been plaguing me the last day or so. Ended up 8:30 average pace.

4.5 miles on the gravel trails near Boulder Creek. Temps in the low 50s.

8.2 miles today on the greenway. Busy day out there and passed quite a few roller bladers. Didn’t know that was a big thing these days.

4.5 at 8:05 pace. Migraine is gone but body is still pretty fatigued so no longer than just a loop around town. 40F in the sun but wind brought it down like 15 degrees. My knees were numb by the end of the run ha.

6 miles of cross country terrain running as the sweeper on the course. Only like 15 people total so a super small event but fun to get out there. This morning we had frozen fog so it made the run chilly and slippery in some sections.

You guys who toggle between trail and road, Saucony came out with a cool option. If you do buy, make sure you use Rakuten as they often have a nice extra discount on Saucony shoes:

A chill 7.5 mi ride with my just-turned-fourteen son. Basically rode up one of the big hill trails and then back down to Rodeo Beach. He is behind on homework, but I made the executive decision that he (and I) would get more out of the afternoon this way. We got to talk about a wide range of subjects and I got to be the supportive, encouraging dad instead of the nagging, frustrated dad. ?

If anyone missed this, the half marathon world record was demolished yesterday (57:32 is an average pace of 4:23/mile or 2:44/km).

Damn. I've tended to agree with the sentiment that the HM and M records would fall if there was a big enough purse that someone didn't back off once in the lead and/or there were enough challengers to keep pushing the pace for the win.

worth noting that Kandie ran in the new adizero adios pro. which has 39mm of foam and 5 carbon rods that are intended to mimic the metatarsal bones in your foot. shoe wars are on.

adidas' "Super Shoe", the adizero Adios Pro, Is a Huge Winner in Valencia with Half Marathon World Record

Since Nike unveiled its Vaporfly 4% in 2016, every other shoe manufacturer has been playing catch-up. But now could the tide be turning?

I would still argue that 99.9% of all runners are better off using a more neutral shoe and improving their mechanics before worrying about the performance of the soles of their shoes.
