TR 2020 Running Thread

into the 2nd week of the Daniels 2Q plan for me. When the first workout said to run 14 miles with 8 at marathon pace I thought I would die. Surprisingly the pace was pretty manageable. The strange thing is that I am not use to being this fast.

Signed up for a Half marathon this weekend. Looking forward to see what I can do.

Are you still cycling or mostly running?

4x Tower 26 swims and 3 bikes. Biking is taking a very backseat. 3 weeks until I’m finished my Stronglifts progression so then I should be able to work some more cycling in again. Running 44-55 mpw.

This is what the last month looked like for cycling.

What does the VDOT chart tell you for an estimated time? I have found those times to be eerily accurate!

5:57
I’m aiming for 6:00 and maybe hobble to the finish at 6:05 lol

I really hope my new shoes get here in time. I have 650 on my current pair

Is the sweet spot ? Or pick your own?

Full distance Tri base with intensity and volume modifications. I have no desire to ride hours on the trainer right now.

I feel you bruh.

I’m trying to get some leg speed while keeping power… So I’m doing ssblv

I think I’m setting myself for failure :joy:

Let us know how it goes!!!

JD or the comically bad Garmin.
JD calc seems to be slightly more accurate, although usually for me, it over estimate my long distance running… It seems that I can keep it together and find an extra gear on shorter races :man_shrugging:

Definitely JD! I don’t believe anything Garmin metrics tell me… :crazy_face:

I’m certain track intervals are way more precise than GPS ones - but far from certain they are anything less effective as far as training is concerned. At least not at my level…

Since there’s no track nearby, this has to be true. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

They’re both bad for me, Garmin (FirstBeat, to be more exact - well, FirstBeat is now Garmin, so whatever) being the worst. Both grossly over-estimate my performance over longer distances. Apparently my pace vs distance curve isn’t quite as flat as what JD would like it to be. Garmin appears worse because it over-estimates all distances, since it over-estimates VO2Max. I don’t have a FirstBeat set of curves at hand to see what the pace/distance curve would look like if I nailed a correct number somewhere on it.

660miles vs new for Skechers GoRun 7+ my favorite shoes

~1000km. That’s impressive! How heavy are you? How did the midsole hold up? Big difference when you put on the new vs the old?

SUPINATOR!! HEEL STRIKER!!!

Burn him at the stake!! :crazy_face:

(I supinate too… :sunglasses:)

I’ll report back in a couple hours

@Power13
:laughing: Still got plenty of midfoot wear too.
I have more supination on this leg than the other as well as noticeably different calf development. My PT had be some specific calf raises. Using the ball of my left foot agaisnt a band that I pull up on. Eventually I had the neural control(still weaker) on the calf muscles like I can easily do on my right side. Very cool stuff

Here’s the sole of my Hoka Cliftons from a few years ago…think I supinate much? :rofl:

never looked into fixing it through PT…but it never really caused me any issues, either (I had plenty of toher running injuries, but none related to supination).

Yea if it aint broke dont fix it.
I initially went for prehab. Overall I have pretty good form so I think we have gotten to the point of grasping at straws bit.

uh…nice shoe talk

:slight_smile:

Check the patterns… the back is almost new!
NB 1400 v6…used for track and speed sessions.

!
Adidas… my racing shoe for less than 10 miles.

Rebook with 659 miles!
