How many miles did you run today?

[jbarwick]

6.5 miles while my car got an oil change then an hour at the gym. Felt strong today

 

[Fueco]

4.5 miles on flat gravel trails. I did a few short tempo fartleks, but overall I felt pretty sluggish. Temps around 70.

 

[Dusty Heaters]

15 miles, 6:48/mi, 152bpm

1mi WU, 13.1mi sub GMP, .9mi CD

The half was 1:28:41 (6:46/mi).

Felt like a jog. No gels just water. I believe I can do this.

14 days until race day in Albany.

Great work Dusty! Sounds like you are firing on the right gears going into your marathon.

8.2 miles for me today. A nice sunny afternoon without a care in the world.

The high school down the street put on a charity 5k yesterday morning. My goal was 20 minutes. I didn't quite get it (I'm blaming a very disorganized start) but did come in 5th overall (thank you low participation!) and 2nd in my age group with a time of 20:38.2

Even though I missed my goal, I'm still very happy to complete a 5k with anything under a 7:00/mile pace.

I'm going to try and find a local 5k, 10k, or half marathon to run at least every other weekend from here until the end of the year.

Track ride ahead on Friday ahead of the weekend's racing. Ash rained down on us throughout, covering everything.

hi all, been a while but i'm finally emerging from my busy season hole. was logging some (minimal) miles but didn't feel like posting just because it was whatever i could fit in when i wasn't at my computer. last week was my first in over a month at i was able to get more than 10 for the week so felt good about that. just 15 but it's progress and i've been taking it slow as i don't want to go from like 10 miles a week to 25 in one jump.

also been using a rower as no impact cross training which has been really helpful when i didn't have more than like 20 or 30 minutes to get in some exercise.

yesterday was 4.5 miles at 8:20 pace, followed by 4K at an easy 2:25 per 500M. i definitely felt like i could have gone longer on the run but as i said, i didn't want to push it my first week over 10.

I dropped my mountain bike off for service this evening, so I ran four miles on trails that I haven’t run for quite a while. The nice part is that the sun had already gone behinds the hills, so it was shady. Temps dropped from the mid 80s into the upper 70s while I was out.

The most Boulder things I saw was two groups of kids in the 8-12 range practicing cyclocross skills in the park.

Combined with the ride to and from BART, about 23 miles. Set some new PRs on a couple of the long climb segments

Nice. Do you find the biking on Skyline Dr (pictured) to be pleasant? Driving thru I’ve thought the car traffic might be enough to be stressful, though maybe that’s just on weekends.

7.3 miles yesterday on the greenway. Quite a few people out there which was nice and was chasing the sunset since the days are getting shorter.

This was my first time riding it, and there were very few cars.

 

[Fueco]

4.75 miles on the local trails under cloudy skies with temps in the mid 50s (between storms).

 

[Dusty Heaters]

Last real workout of the block.

9.2mi, 6:47/mi, 152bpm

1mi WU, 3x2mi at Threshold effort w/ 3:00 recovery jog, 1.5mi CD

Set 1: 6:21, 6:19
Set 2: 6:18, 6:15
Set 3: 6:16, 6:08

Felt pretty comfortable. LFG!

 

[jbarwick]

6.6 miles roughly half around lunch and half during the kiddos soccer practice. Ran around with the kids pre-practice so there was a little warmup there.

Just curious, any recommendations for an ideal setup for tracking runs? I’ve just been holding my iPhone and using the Strava app. Presumably the next level is a Garmin 245? Even though I’ll probably bring my
Phone regardless when I need to be available.
