@ctlaws44 - I might also add that I'm trying to be quick to interpret twinges as a reason to retire shoes. Retiring shoes earlier than I need to is cheaper than keeping them too long and paying for physical therapy.JessicaMcB wrote: »As someone who has owned both the Guide 10 and the Kinvara I personally find the Guide to be the superior shoe for my serious overpronation on roads (Nomad TR beats them both on trail for obvious reasons). The Kinvara is very neutral so if you are more than moderately overpronated prepare to potentially roll in hard- I do every.single.day. #thestruggle
@MobyCarp Good point about maybe the shoe causing some pain and injuries. This is probably also a good reason to have different pairs of shoes to diagnose if it's the shoe causing pain or injury. Thank you!
@JessicaMcB Thank you for the comparison between the Guide's and Kinvara's. I have a slight pronation according to my local running store's analysis.
I hope everyone has a great morning! Rain and 60's here. I plan on doing hills later with my running group.

Monthly Goal: Stay "healthy" and get in good marathon training
Nominal Mileage goal: 191 miles.
Today's notes: Today's assignment was 8 miles a E pace. I ended up with 8.1, but that's just because I set it so I could walk a little for cool down on the way back home. Run felt good. Ran it at 9:33 pace, and my average HR was 156, so a tiny bit high but not bad. This was the first run of a 50 mile week for me. I'm a little excited/nrvous about it, I'll set a weekly mileage PR and a long run distance PR this week.

Nice tapering @Stoshew71 only 5 days to go! you're doing great!1

Heart rate zones and max heart rate will also play into things...two people could do the same run and both have a HR of 140, but if one person has a max HR of 150, and the other has a max HR of 200, then they're running in entirely different zones with entirely different levels of effort.I did compare. His was very similar to mine. His was158 average and 187 high 11:48 average pace, while mine was 163 avg 180 high, 12:03 average pace. He literally ran circles around me several times.
I changed my activity setting back up, I figured a higher activity level may be a lower burn if you're "conditioned". Which I'm not, but maybe it'll help with a better calculation. I just put a fudge in mfp so I don't eat it back.
ETA- I don't think HR is used in the calorie expenditure calculation anyway.. unless something changed or I missed something.
My run this morning was with the group rather than the usual longer solo run I would normally do on a Monday. I have an annual checkup with my doctor later this morning in order to get the biological equivalent of a car inspection sticker, and as I need to be fasted for the appointment, the plan was to run easy so that I won't be starving later. It was a good plan, but I got to the meetup point after a few warm-up miles only to find that a) the group would be running 30 minutes late, and b) only the two faster runners would be making it. So I got to run for an additional 30 minutes, and then run faster than planned for an hour. No biggie, except my appointment means I can't eat yet; not for at least another couple of hours anyway. And I'm really rather hungry right now.

That seems intuitive, but Garmin says:
"...The Garmin fitness device uses this (activity class) information along with gender, age, weight, height, and lifetime athlete settings in order to calculate the calories burned during a given activity...."

Starting once again with working out before work. Figured this was my first day back since completing the outpatient program so I'd turn over a new leaf, so to speak.
Had very little issue waking up early. Good start. Got out and walked 3.55 miles in just under an hour. I may have jogged 0.25 of a mile just so I could get home in time to shower and do the things I have to do.
It was chilly out, but not terrible. My hip gave me very little discomfort. Very encouraging.
Tomorrow is more intervals.5 -
WhatMeRunning wrote: »One thing I have noticed in my training, and can't say it works for all, is when I do a steady build over 3 weeks to new mileage compared to just running my new target mileage for 3 weeks is that I feel better at the end of that 3 week period when I do the target mileage over the 3 week period than when I steadily build. I have a theory why, but it's just my observation. The first week is the most tiring, but your cardio adapts and by the 3rd week it is easier than the 3rd week of a slow build, as each week building up you have to adapt again. I think your strength gains are better off also as you get 3 weeks at that effort as opposed to 2 lower weeks and one at target.
This in no way means it is for all. But I have experienced it and for whatever value tools like Sport Tracks provide that show your fitness adaptations and fatigue, the results on those tools seem to back it up.
The trick is to know how to build up the right amount and not just jump into too high of mileage that the first week at new mileage is more harm than good.
Of course, much is to be said with going with what you know will work and you are comfortable with. I know I'm comfortable with my plans and have seen them work, but what works for one may not work for others.
Just thought I would put that out there because I'm not sure it has been discussed here before, and I have found it pretty interesting. I'm not saying it's right, just thought I would solicit others opinions.
This is actually the method that Jack Daniels suggests for increasing mileage.

I am new to running and am hoping to run the color run with my family which is 5K on June 24. I am currently overweight and my three boys ages 10 and twin 8 are embarrassed due to it. This will be a major achievement but need motivation to get me there. I am currently using the couch to 5K running program and am hoping in 8 weeks ill be able to achieve my dream goal.12 -

Garmin may not *say* that HR is used to calculate calorie burn, but I've observed that when I have two very similar runs from a weather, pace, distance, and terrain perspective Garmin will say I burned a lot more calories on the run where I forgot the HR monitor or its battery died than on the run where I have HR data.2 -

39.3/40 miles for April
I didn't get a chance to post yesterday. I had a nice run. It looks like I will be able to reach my April goal with no problem. I may switch my running days a little this week to work around the weather, but I know I will be able to get a couple of days in before the end of the month so I shouldn't have any trouble getting another .7 miles. I took a few pictures at the park after my run. I thought I would share them with the group. There were some pretty bluebonnets growing. In Texas it is a thing to take pictures of your kids in the bluebonnets. Now that my kids are in their 20's I don't get to do that anymore, but I still like to take pictures of the bluebonnets anyway.
ETA I don't know why all my pictures are sideways.6 -
I woke up with a sore throat today. Boo.
@Brumley2005 Good luck with your 5k training!
@RespectTheKitty Great job with the early morning exercise!0 -
Welcome @Brumley2005!
@Elise4270 - I have determined that trying to figure out the variance in calorie burns based on heart rate is a lot like trying to figure why the heart wants what it wants. Those damn hearts are freaking crazy!

Yep... and I know I won't make April goal. I go back and forth about how I feel on my knee recovery, but I'm certain the next 2-3 weeks will be tough. Anyway, I'll add up mileage from my recovery plan and see what it looks like for May. It will definitely be lower than the 70 miles I'm not going to achieve this month anyway.1 -
A rather nice 8 mile run today with my HRM running on new batteries. My pace was maybe down a bit but part of that was because I was 100% honest on my effort, walking as soon as the high alert chirped and walking until the low alert chirped. Normally I might start running early if going downhill for the added pace, or might push a bit further to get to the base of a hill and start walking up it. Not today! Which meant lots of downhill walking and running uphill. This is a good thing, I should probably do that more often.
Looks like I met my goal this month. That's really due to the change in plans to acommodate the Garmin Half Marathon last weekend. Instead of a down week last week I extended my base building period from 3 to 6 weeks. That meant crushing my initial April goal. Hopefully this just means I set my sights too low initially, and am not aiming too high late in the month!

@WhatMeRunning great job making your goal! I''' be right up to the line on making mine.1

Good luck with couch to 5K @brumley2005 I didn't use it, but have heard nothing but great things about it!
Track meet Saturday almost killed me this week. ha ha Got Skip to meet at 7:00 because they moved her first race to first and the start time to 8:00. 7:45 POURING rain, my girl and one girl from another team out on the track all alone warming up for their event. She said she figured she would get wet anyway. They delay until 8:15 slows down but starts up again big time during her race. I had to laugh the race director said to me "no way sprinters would run in this, but those XC kids live for this type of thing" ha ha! She had a so so meet, for some reason she was really nervous and it showed. 3200m 14:05 not her best but her best this season, 800m 2:54 again not her best but her coach forgot to put her in so they added her to a heat with all "no time" runners so she beat the second place girl by like 10 seconds. I think in a heat with girls her time she would have done better. She looked strong and finished strong. She was a nervous wreck by the 1600m and bascially let her head take her out with a 6:50, like 40 seconds slower than her PR and she was not happy with herself. I think coach will only put her in the 3200 for sectionals and she's ticked off that she didn't improve her times to run her other events.
I signed us up for a couple of 5Ks and a 8K that I love to run.3 -
I am back from my vacation and there were over 400 messages to read. I won't have time to read them on my lunch but I did search and find the @mobycarp and @lporter229 race reports! Thanks for sharing! Congratulations to both of you!!! Does anyone know what happened with @ohhim? Did he run it? Remember him? He qualified sometime last year.
Anyway, on my trip my daughter and I ran the Thames and Seine Rivers in London and Paris. Those runs were amazing! The temperatures were just so perfect and we could sightsee while running! We did a lot of walking too. Our feet were so tired at the end of each day. Then two days of flight cancellations and delays on the way home, meant very few steps. But it was still such a great trip! I had planned to run almost every day except for the travel days but somedays it just didn't happen.
We ate so much I was expecting I would have been up a few pounds, but I was only up .4 and I expect that I'll be down tomorrow because I am always up 2-3 pounds after flying. Although I was good about drinking a ton of water on the 8 hour flight from Paris to NYC.
I really need to confirm the dates/mileage on strava because I got rather confused when I went to add to my list. What's today? Did I run this day?

It could be down to which Garmin product you have then. I have the FR 235 which uses Firstbeat's algorithms to determine calorie burn.That seems intuitive, but Garmin says:
"...The Garmin fitness device uses this (activity class) information along with gender, age, weight, height, and lifetime athlete settings in order to calculate the calories burned during a given activity...."
No mention of HR.

@ddmom0811 - @Ohhim qualified for Boston 2017, but not by enough to make the cutoff. I believe he qualified for Boston 2018 with a greater margin of safety.0

@skippygirlsmom - Hope you and Skip have a great time on your events!
@ddmom0811 - I was noticing on Strava that you were posting runs on the Thames and Seine. Very cool!1 -

Today's notes – My left quad is a bit better today. It let me do my Turkish get-ups this morning, though 4 reps of squats with 55 lbs showed it's still not 100%. So I did 20 paces of body weight walking lunges, and called that good. That got me thinking that 5 easy miles might be about right for today.
Near perfect running weather this noon, 49º F (9º C) and sunny with not much breeze. Set out to avoid hills and explore a residential area I hadn't run in before. Mostly ran to the heart rate, making myself slow down when it got above 130 or sometimes when it was in the high 120s. The left quad was a dull ache when I started, but that faded as I warmed up. Got back to my driveway a bit before 5 miles, ran past, ran back, finished at 5.1 miles without the quad complaining at all. Average pace was 7:40, and I only spent 27 seconds in HR Zone 2. Average HR 120, max 134.
Other than the cognitive dissonance from an easy HR and an average pace a smidge faster than what I think of as the fast end of easy, it was a really nice run. A bit short, but pushing for 6 miles can wait for another day.

I am new to running and am hoping to run the color run with my family which is 5K on June 24. I am currently overweight and my three boys ages 10 and twin 8 are embarrassed due to it. This will be a major achievement but need motivation to get me there. I am currently using the couch to 5K running program and am hoping in 8 weeks ill be able to achieve my dream goal.
In 8 weeks, whether you've reached your dream goal or not, as long as you've put in consistent work, you'll be a LOT better than you are today. Be smart, be realistic and be active. Change is difficult, but doable. Your boys, and more importantly, YOU will be proud of the person you'll become.2
