The Runner's thread

I love walking in these Altras, but man are they going to take a long time to get used to. Maybe I'll save them for trails only, since that's what the tread is designed for.

4.5 last night at 8 flat pace. Pushed myself too hard. 130 for the year.

Sarasota FirstWatch half this morning in 1:56:33. Still warm but much better conditions than the last one in South Beach.

I'm thinking about running a 5k. Never done a race. If I ran a 24' minute race, where would I finish among men? Top 40%?

Depends on the race size and course but probably. Most races list last year's results.

10.35 mile run through the hills of Kingsport. Went 360 ft uphill in about half a mile to get to mile 2. Up and down throughout the rest of the way.

6.2 on Friday. 5.8 today. Now I am going to switch from every other day to 4 days a week. No hills here - makes me feel faster than I really am.

5 miles with the wife on Sunday. 8:37 pace. Great day for running. We ran through the River Walk here in Chattanooga.

 

[YankeeVol]

2 miles (APFT) in 13:13


Not bad for barely running the last 2 months

I enjoying running but just stretched the tendon on the bottom of my left foot and I'm not looking forward to hearing what the Dr has to say

Does not sound like much fun. Good luck

Higher than that, I think. 24 minutes is a good time.

I would guess top 25%

Just under 6 miles at 8:10 pace. It was beautiful weather. It's been awhile since I've sweated like I did on the climb back home. Breaking in some New Balance shoes, verdict is still out.

3 miles last night @ 8:10 pace. I struggled last night. Guess my legs were shot from the five on Sunday and the hills in the three yesterday. Glad today is a rest day. I need it.

I registered for the Peachtree lottery yesterday in hopes that it would motivate me.....we'll see. I have a 5K at the end of April that I need to prep for first.

 

[kiddiedoc]

6 miles yesterday evening with hills, about 8:15 pace. I'm back to lifting with my toe and wrist healing, so I'm pretty satisfied. The weather is perfect.

 

[n_huffhines]

2 miles in 15' 45"

 

[Orangesmokey]

2 last night at 7:55 pace. Hope the rain will go away by this afternoon so I can get a run in tonight.

 

[VOLatile]

Registered for the Bacon and Beer trail 10k, which was my first trail run and 10k last year, which started this whole ball rolling. Time to begin training, I guess.

 

[kiddiedoc]

5k yesterday evening, splits 7:55, 7:43, 7:35.

 

[YankeeVol]

4.89 in 43:51

YTD: 53.14
Remaining: 696.86

 

[volfanbill]

Shamrock 8k in 41:07. Hope I feel as good tomorrow for the half.

So, I've never run outside with a pace in mind. Any good tips for getting my pace right without the treadmill telling me how fast I'm going?
