Do you Run?……Walk?….Bike?…..Swim?…..yoga?…..lift weights? What’s your workout plan?

Have some PTO to burn. Took the day off and decided to knock out my long run for the weekend. 17 miles at easy pace. 60° at the start, really builds the confidence for the fitness levels and how the November marathon is going to go.

Indy. After narrowly missing my sub 4 goal in Knoxville, I wanted the flattest and fastest marathon I could find.

Good luck. Chicago is supposed to be pretty fast and flat as well. Will report back

The late great Kelvin Kiptum teaches us that amazing things are possible at that race.

Best of luck to you. Qualifying for a major is a bucket list item for me.

The goal was 8:30 for 5 by 55. 8:38 was my best. Not making the goal.


Thanks

If it makes it any better, you're in much better shape than me with those numbers and I'm 32.

Week 1, Day 1 of 10k program. Four 10-minute runs separated by 1 minute walking breaks. I'm glad to be back after a week off running.

Bike ride: 21.45 miles, 929’ elevation gain, 1:32 riding time. Spent a lot of time in my lower gears practicing a higher cadence. The objective is to reset my muscle memory at the higher cadence. It can be maddeningly slow at times.

Heated vinyasa this morning then finished the stump removal and outdoor shower restoration.

Stump ? What stump?
Also made a place for the cold plunge.

Same for me - hopefully for Boston as the last one.

I’m running CHI to raise money for St Jude.

Did an hour in the pool.
It a short pool but 2 flat walls made a nice swim lane.
I am not in swimming shape. It’s just a different animal

After jumping off the stern of the boat into the cold Tyrhennian sea, I realized that I’m in swim to save my life shape. That’s about it. Used to swim fairly well. While in college, I took turns towing a sunfish sailboat 1/2 mile to shore when the wind died.

18 miles

Very humid

Very tired

I learned a long time ago that fat people who are active outlive skinny people who are sedentary. Here is another way of motivating yourself...research suggests 1 minute of exercise adds 5 minutes to your life....so if you add 41 minutes of exercise a day over 40 years, you add 5.5 years to your life (and of course the quality is better all along the way).

Do any of you strength training and run? If so, how often do you find you need rest/deload weeks?
