Nice work!


I'm going to sign up for The North Face 50 sometime this week. Friends of mine are again running the 50 miles and I'll do the 10k or half marathon. End of September in Wisconsin. These trail run events are so addicting. Laid back, fun, always veer and good food.

 

[YankeeVol]

Anyone have a trail shoe they suggest like the Adrenalines or Ghosts? I think the majority of the races and runs I'm going to do are trail oriented. Running on the road gets kinda boring.

Altra. I have the Lone Peak 1.5s and love them.

Mid to high 60's. Gonna be in the low 70's some next week

 

[jhen713]

Nice. I would love to have a week or 2 of that during the summer down here.

I love it.

That seems like the best temps ever for running. I can't imagine attempting in the winter.

Yea it's not as fun

3 mile beach run barefoot. I'm probably gonna pay for that later today. 8:24 pace.

 

[jhen713]

I did that on summer vacations as a teenager. Loved it. Can't run barefoot anymore.

Right now I'm not hurting. May hurt in the morning. If I hurt in the morning I won't be doing it again without shoes.

I just got the adrenaline 14's right before I left and I haven't ran in them yet and didn't want to get them all sandy on my first run with them.

 

[Aavoxx]

Yankee, do you find you must alter your stride with your Hoka's?

 

[Orangesmokey]

4 miles this morning. 8:12 pace. Feeling that beach run a little bit.

 

[Unknown Muppet]

4.5 Miles last night at 11:15 pace. Started out slow and killed my overall time, but I got in my 15 miles for the week.

 

[jhen713]

3.11 in 26:44 this morning.

 

[Unknown Muppet]

Very slow 3.75 miles tonight.

Calves keep cramping every time I run for the last month or so.

Stretching before and after? Drinking enough water through out the day?

Stretching before and after? Drinking enough water through out the day?

I am definitely stretching both before and after.

I was concerned about the water intake a couple weeks ago and I have really ramped up - close to a gallon a day right now.

Recently got hamstring compression sleeves and started using as post-run recovery. Still too early to know how well they work, but so far does seem to be helping. Might be something to consider for calves if everything else is in order (shoes, stretching, hydration).
