How many miles did you run today?

[jbarwick]

8.4 trail miles this morning with 1,359ft gain. After the gym yesterday morning then the lunch run, I had no gas in the tank for this one. Temps were in the 60s but I was sweating like crazy.

Taking tomorrow off then hitting it this weekend.

9mi, 8:09/mi, 138bpm

I had LASIK done on both eyes yesterday at 1pm, so I missed my usual evening workout. By the time my eyes stopped burning/watering it was about 7pm and I generally head to bed around 8:30. I’ll have to make it up tonight. The strength training has changed my whole game.

While I felt great on Monday/Wednesday with my strength training, it really drains the legs for running. It is usually the day after when I can feel it most during a run. For instance, today I could not get my legs to run the bigger hills which are usually not a problem. I could blame lack of coffee and food in the system but my legs were not wanting to cooperate.

I think you lift more frequently/longer than I do and I’m sure you get more vert on a weekly basis. The amount of fatigue your carrying is likely higher than mine. My lifting is pretty basic, just 60 minutes after my harder runs (1 speed workout + long run). I’ll focus on a few major compound movements and then spend the rest of the time on a core circuit.

Lower Split
• 8x sets of barbell back squats
• 8x sets of conventional dead lift
• Core: half bosu-ball planks, butterfly kicks, Russian twists, uniwheel roll outs (x3)

Upper Split
• 5x standing barbell rows
• 5x standing overhead press
• 5x dumbbell bench press
• Same core routine

Close to same routine here except for core and I only spend an hour at most each day. I alternate 5x5 or 4x6 depending on amount of time I have. I do Squat, Bench, Row on one day then Squat, OHP, DL on the other. Not putting close to your weight up though

That’s a lot of work! More than I can handle. Way to cowboy up.

There’s always someone stronger/faster…but I think we can agree that no one jerks it quite like @Texasmade

I learned from the best @beargonefishing

25 miles on the cyclocross bike. I rode the 3.6 miles to the top of the hill and back (mostly gravel), then rode the rest with a friend who is racing Boulder Ironman 70.3 this weekend. Her Zone 4 efforts left me in the dust, but generally it was good to catch up with a friend I hadn’t seen for six years.

This has to be the most comical event in the Olympics

Why? Because they walk faster than you or I run?

10mi, 8:16/mi, 128bpm

Jogging with 2 friends. We were all pretty tired and sore, which was partly comedic and comforting.

@sugarbutch - I don’t understand race walking…but I do know a few people who are serious/passionate about it and they really get offended when their sport is mocked. I think people get into the sport because it’s easier on the body than running but requires a lot of technique? I dunno. Apparently it was THEE sport back in the 1800’s. Shrug. I saw the men’s 50k and it looked painful to me.

 

[sugarbutch]

I'm not suggesting it's easy or that they aren't athletes, just that it's 20k of haters gonna hate meme.

(As a spectator, I don't like the subjective element of judging when someone crosses the line from walking to running.)

I wonder whether they have hip issues

The dividing line is very clear to the athletes and officials though. If both feet are off the ground at the same time, you’re running.
