Yo! Just finished a 3.2 mile run during my lunch break. Trying to focus on diet/hydration this week just to see what all this hype is about lol.

So when you go run do you have a plan/program? Or just running based off feel

My neighborhood has several different loops ranging from 4-6miles. For me it’s more about the time than distance.
I’m trying to get 40+ minutes twice a week and yoga 45+ twice a week.
The most important part of this is what you said. Diet.

Hey. I’m rehabbing my tennis elbow, so weight-lifting is currently going about 60% of what I was doing. Still doing legs normally, and walking 10k steps every day, mostly around my neighborhood.

Getting my behind kicked by the humidity.

Proving to myself that I can still summon pace outside of races and group runs.

Thanks, sort of at a crossroads age wise. I can’t lollygag 5 out of 6 runs a week and then expect to set PRs on race day. Big emphasis the last month in pushing the tempo as often as I can. So far I’ve done more sub 9 minute pace runs this month than I’ve done the past 2 months combined.

Getting older is a blessing, but it sorta stinks.

It only gets worse.
My 4 mile loop has become 9:30 instead of 9:00 I went 3 miles on flat terrain at 8:35 about a year ago. 54 next week and I think 8:50 is as good as I could expect if I ran it tomorrow.

Old, Fat and Slow.

 

[Tin Man]

Old? What y’all know about old?

finally got back to the gym, kept it light per the doctors orders. Mostly self weight stuff where I could, half weight roughly where I did use weights.

I’ve gone all body weight and chin-up bar.
My joints have been happy with the transition.

Glad you’re able to get going again

I have a hill training figure 8 that’s just under 4 miles and 700+ feet of climb. I won’t attempt it during high summer.

 

[bigeasy]

That sounds like a tough route! I love riding hills vs flats, so typically choose hill repeats and less total miles
