I mean cmon, don’t you remember having to chug your canteen every night before lights out? ?
When yall say building a base, are u referring to just putting down long flowy runs?
Building base miles typically refers to building your run mileage up to decent training mileage and not doing any speedwork.
What do u do for speed work?I had the day off today so I went out for a longer run than I normally get on Mondays and got 12 miles in at an easy 8:32/mile pace. This was my first run after passing out on Friday and everything seemed to go well and there was no lightheadedness or dizziness during the day today afterwards.
I think this is more akin to when they’d make us stand in formation for hours for some useless officer’s retirement ceremony and somebody would hit the deck after locking their knees. Officers! Amiright!
^This is what “building a base” means for me.
Once it cools down this time of year, I still enjoy running but I just don’t have the motivation to do any speed work or tempo runs (plus, it’s always more difficult to go fast with all the extra layers of clothing). So my goal from November to March is to just get out there and keep the total mileage up. That way, when the warmer weather returns I’m not starting over from scratch and I haven’t backslid too far in terms of fitness.

The old saying in weightlifting, "mass moves mass".Current struggle is the 6lbs I've added recently due to overeating and under running. Sad JBar...
