Hey, I'm only 27 pages behind!
Work has been crazy (I've had some days I don't leave until after midnight) so I haven't been able to keep up or post on this thread, but i did want to pop in and share a very cool tool I found on Strava, though you don't need to be a registered member to use it.
http://labs.strava.com/heatmap
It's a tool for finding popular running (or biking) routes in an area. They have a global heat map of all the runs or bike rides in their database. Pan around, zoom in and out, and you can see where others are running or biking. Find new routes in your neighborhood or research an area you're traveling to. If you only want to see running routes, make sure you select that on the left.
I have a short trip coming up next week and I didn't see any readily apparent running routes. Then I came upon this tool and though it confirmed my suspicions, it showed me some routes very close which others are using. If their being used enough to show up, chances are they'll be good routes for me to run as well. I'll now know to check this tool first and save a lot of time (or waste time as I explore new routes close to home)
Check it out and let me know what you think, I think it's pretty slick!
I have crazy amounts of work through mid April. I'm going to scan the pages I've missed on my trip next week but it's a PIA to post and reply on a phone so I likely won't post. Running has been going well for me of late and I'm excited to get back to the miles my marathon plan prescribes.
I'm on pace to meet my monthly goal!
This is the Huntsville area. It is all lit up with just running routes. If I add bike routes, it's even worse.

@rcsmom2002 My whole town is full of Bradford Pears and the smell is driving me crazy. It's like rotting fish
Interesting... At the park I run there is a section that smells like grape tootsie pops. I never considered it might be something blooming. Really glad its not old fish..
Too funny we have Bradford pears everywhere, I figured all the builders in our area got them on discount. They drive my nose insane but I never noticed a bad smell.
@9voice9 sorry about your son leaving. That's no fun. I hate when Skip goes to my mom's for 6 weeks in the summer.
I was all ready to run this morning and I got in the kitchen and there was a note on the table "Momma I need to run today since practice was canceled please run with me this afternoon". So went laid back down in bed.
@elise4270 you might be smelling mimosa trees, they smell awesome. There is a yard on my route with like 5 of them and when they bloom I can smell them 1/2 mile away. Love them.
Good luck to everyone running this weekend. Skip and I planned a trip to a park about 2 hours away to hike with the dog and her Coach called last night and asked if she could run in a meet on Saturday. We're calling it the pick up meet since we didn't plan to run and the school is closed and we can't get money to pay for it, so anyone running needs to bring $5 to run ha ha!!! What a bunch we are!0 -

I enjoy reading the conversations here on this thread, only that it is very difficult to catch up
This month is low mileage month because of some subtle pain on the back of my knee after a long run in February. So, I just decided to play on the safe side just so I can still participate in the Half past Sunday. Going easy and hopefully steadily increasing in mileage for the rest of the month.0 -

My hip is being a little annoying, not sure whats going on there but I will ice it and take some anti-inflammatory and see how that feels. Doesn't hurt at all when running, but if i'm sitting and pick up my knee, i feel it.
I run the same route pretty much and never see anyone else running. Sometimes I see a few people out enjoying the weather but that's only about once every two weeks or so. Two runs ago I actually passed another live runner! Then today there were a couple people who nearly ran out into the path of my car, lol. It's a quiet road, but don't YOU look before you cross?? My little 10k slice is turning into a regular popular running mecca! (that doesn't use strava. I checked )

It looks like a reasonable plan. Be prepared to modify it as your body may require. Maybe it goes just the way you have it laid out, maybe you feel beat up after increasing the distance each week. If you start feeling beat up, don't be ashamed to repeat a week, or even to repeat a week twice. The idea isn't so much to build mileage as much as you can, as to build mileage as much as you can while still feeling really good.
What you really don't want to do is keep running through the beat up feeling until you have to stop running entirely.0 -
@MobyCarp Thanks for the input. I look at the plan as a general outline, something to keep me focussed, and if I need to, I can slow it down, and keep steady for longer before upping. I have a LONG time until my half marathon, and until July for the 5 mile I'm registered for, so the April/May running is all just base building and cementing routine for me.
By the end of it, I'll be about 3 miles per week more than I am right now. Last week and this week were both 16 miles (Assuming tomorrow's 6 mile run goes full distance), so I feel ready for it, but I definitely will listen to what my body says about taking it easy if I need to.0 -
AdrianChr92 wrote: »I couldn't contain my fast. Do you guys have this problem? Keeping your fast under control?
Oh, yeah. It's very common for new runners, and not unknown for established runners, to have trouble controlling how fast they run. I really struggled to learn to run slower than 8 minutes per mile (5 minutes per km). But that's what I need to do a lot in order to avoid extended periods of couch time.
While the most important thing is injury avoidance, there is a bit of an ego boost from the reaction that people used to seeing me run easy have when they see me run at race pace. I don't win any races outright, but I get around pretty well for a 60 year old.
I find it's a lot easier to hold the easy runs at an easy pace when I'm in a training schedule with a lot of miles and challenging speed work days. That makes me really appreciate a nice slow 6 mile run.0 -

@MNLittleFinn In addition to what Moby wrote, sometimes it is not a bad idea to actually go backwards for one week before increasing your weekly mileage further. We call these "cutback weeks". There are also other similar names people give these weeks where you temporarily cutback the number of miles for one week to allow your body to adapt to the training.
This article calls it a "down week".

I call them Deload Weeks cause that's what we do in powerlifting, and lifting in general. Every 5th or 4th week we would decrease weights by 20% or so, or else we risked to accumulate too much fatigue0

Tonight's run was tough, felt like the hardest effort this year to me - my legs were really tired. I blame my bike!
We had lovely warm weather today, more than 10°C, and I had fixed the broken rear tire of my bike earlier this week. So I no longer had any excuses; I finally put my good resolutions to take the bike to work into practice. That was so hard! You'd think that with all the running I'd be in better shape. But a fair amount of my way to work is uphill, and while I'm slowly getting used to running up those hills, trying to climb them on the bike was killing me!
There and back I ended up with 10km of biking, and an elevation gain of 85m. Which probably sounds ridiculous to any real biker out there, but I could really feel those hills in my legs when I made it home, and later during my run. Plus the entire ride home I was cursing my hard seat - maybe I shouldn't have spent all my money on running stuff, but saved a little to buy myself some padded saddle covers ^^
I really admire everyone who goes out and does hundreds of kms with their bikes in a day. I'm not sure I'll ever be "a bike person" - running there and back would have been much easier, and much more enjoyable.

Weekly total TBD vs. target 68
March total to date – 156.26
Goal – 56, 62, or 68 miles per week, per training plan
Expected March total - ~282 miles
Today's notes – It's a week of adjustments. The training plan calls for 68 miles, but it also called for some very challenging speed work that I didn't do. Not doing the challenging speed work dropped 8 miles from what I had planned to run. I made up 5 miles of it on Wednesday, and about another mile yesterday. So I looked at the totals, and doing the maximum long run assignment on Saturday would leave me 2 miles short of the weekly target.
I thought about that. Today's assignment was "Off or 30 min. run". I had originally scheduled this as a rest day, but those 2 miles bugged me. I realized I have a mostly flat 5K route from my home, got home with daylight left, and set out to run 5K. That would put me a mile over the weekly target, but that's close enough, right? About 1.2 miles in, I realized I had an option to cut the route short. I didn't know how much distance it would cut out, but it seemed like it should be a mile or a little less. Got to thinking about the marathon runners I know.
Marathon runners are disciplined. If a marathon runner needs 15 miles on a long run day, he runs 15 miles. He doesn't run 16, because running too much can come back to bite him in the butt. So I took the shorter way home, and ended up with 2.38 miles instead of 3.1. If I run exactly 22 miles tomorrow, that will bring the week in at 68.28, compared to the target 68. Since I'm pacing 14 miles for the local training program, and the routes are structured as 8 + 6 miles, 22 should be straightforward enough. Just repeat the 8 mile route after I drop off all the trainees.
There is still the chance that my iffy ankle may ask me to quit earlier. If it happens, it happens. The ankle felt a little better this morning than yesterday morning, and I could have run considerably farther than 2 miles today; but there's that training discipline thing. It's not always better to run more miles, just as it's not always better to run faster.
So I didn't take today off, and I didn't run 30 minutes. I ran a bit under 19 minutes, and I ran easy. I even have a report from Garmin that says my heart rate spent 95% of the time in Zone 2. (It was in Zone 1 for 47 seconds at the beginning of the run.)
I'm really liking the new HRM that came with my 630, and I'm doing better with caring for it than I did with the HRM that came with my 620. As a result of better hardware and better user compliance with the instructions, I'm not seeing the fake heart rate spikes at the beginning of the run any more. This makes the heart rate data more meaningful. For those of you who ask what heart rate to run easy, today's maximum heart rate was 125 and the average was 118. Given how low in Zone 2 the average was, I'm not going to worry about the average pace of 7:56 per mile. The ankle was fine with it, the heart rate stayed in Zone 2, the run was easy enough.

Good luck to you! Weather has cooled off and we've had some rain.
Yeah, looks like the weather Sunday is going to be about as perfect as it can be, barring any changes. Morning low around 33, high around 55, mostly sunny, light breeze. I was a little worried earlier in the week when it was 85, but it looks like it's all going to work out in my favor!
My sister comes in early tomorrow morning (should land in Tulsa around 9am), then we're heading for Ardmore!
Have a safe trip. My husband said okc is under a freeze warning.
We (I) have has a hellova day. Phone died. Won't charge. Find out that I can't get a new one without my husband, I'm not an authorized user on the account. So waiting for him put us way behind schedule. So I am behind on food, hydration and have to figure out how to get my new phone setup with the criticals, i.e. Garmin, MFP.
We have only valet parking, so inconvenient when you forget something. Especially at 30$ a day... ouch! On top of the 500+ on the phone.
I bought a Brooks hat at the expo, and it is too big... I'll stitch it or something since I dropped the receipt.
But love the new phone. Made it safe. Downtown Dallas hotel. Pretty cool. Looking out the window there is a 50 ft giant eyeball in a grassy area.. so weird. And we're are on the 10th floor, directly across is a pool that hangs outside the structure of a building like on the 5th floor. The end of it is glass. I doubt if wanna swim 5 stories up with a glass wall. I remember it being there ages ago, but it didn't seem odd when I was 15.

All. I posted a new blog as a follow up to my last blog about training plans. I included a lot of your comments about that blog (specifically the long run) that all of you gave me. You should recognize most of them. Please read and let me know what you think. Oh, this time, add your comments at the bottom of the actual blog please? That way they will be all in one nice location to refer to later. Thanks!
