    @PastorVincent I don't know what you are talking about, I always breath two in two out....except when I don't. Honestly I'm usually 3 in 2 out but it's not like I get really bored and start counting my breathing patterns or anything.

    Hmm. I like to breathe in on left foot, out right out left, or maybe it's right in, left out, right out... Crap. I just know I'm doing it wrong.

    @MobyCarp you rock! I really should have gotten the WWMCD? on the back of my Embrace the Suck shirt! :D

    The great thing about the course for my upcoming 5k is it's basically a route I run all the time. It's a state park 15 min from me that is a big lake, with a nice, paved path all the way around it, which is almost exactly 3 miles long. Tons of runners in my area go there for their training, because there's also an outer ring road with more elevation gain, so there are different options for how much distance and how many hills you want. It's my go-to location for when I'm adding distance to my long runs, and I don't want hills too, lol.

    And it's true, the course isn't 100% perfectly flat. But I think my familiarity and comfort with the location will really help in this instance. It's also a women-only race, with self-placing corrals, and they're hoping to reach 1,000 participants, though some of those will be doing the walk, not the run, so it shouldn't be too difficult to deal with initial crowding. We'll see what happens!

    Sometimes, in the middle of the day, you come to a terribly obvious conclusion that you already KNEW, but were letting pride get in the way of..... Today's example courtesy of MNLittleFinn and his bruised ego:

    I set my Garmin back to alerting me whenever I am out of z2. I will use this while I am road running, as I am planning on my trail runs to be "hard" days anyway, with all the elevation. I came to this conclusion for two *kitten* obvious reasons:

    1: I've been running too hard on ALL of my runs, and need to get back to having more time spent in E, I'll still be too high (probably), because I'm always out of E average on trail for some reason. Hopefully though, this way I'll at least control for it and get my E time back to a more reasonable range.

    2: This one should have been obvious too. Because I run too fast, I'm spending LESS TIME ON FEET! Since I'm trying to transition to Trail/ultra training, I need to spend MORE time running, not LESS... Duh!

    Looking at cut off times for my upcoming "races" I have it in quotes because I'll be running 2/3 just for fun/experience/training.

    Eugene Curnow Marathon: 22 min/mile
    Ely Marathon: 18 min/mile
    Wild Duluth: 17 min/mile

    Now, this is overall times and, obviously, aid station stops on the 2 trail races will add time, but there are only 7 and 8 aid stations respectively.

    So Assuming I even spend 5 minutes at each (that would be a LOT) That maxes out at 40 minutes, which takes 1:15 per mile off of my allowable average pace on the ultra, dropping it to 14:45/mile I'd need to move, which, oddly enough, is what the McMillan Calculator gave me for a pace (Using a horribly incompatible 5 mile time, but hey, it's my delusions, right?).......

    .... So, what's all that saying? Not much to you guys, but it says to me: STOP WORRYING ABOUT YOUR RUN TIMES AND GET TIME ON FEET YOU NEED A DIFFERENT MINDSET YOU DOLT!

    Sorry for the insane rambling.... it was, once again, more stream of thought typing...

    @midwesterner85 I kind if had to chuckle at your 2 "rest" days after your HM.... backpacking is hard work!

    @MNLittleFinn No doubt... the first day was a very long and tough day because of the distance and elevation - and a few snow fields were not so bad to be terribly more difficult hiking, but at 7,600 ft. and snow reflecting sun, I got a bit of a burn despite wearing sunscreen. On the 2nd day, it was especially difficult because I was so dehydrated and struggling to inconveniently get water wherever I could through my backup Life Straw.

    TMI on the dehydration:
    On that 2nd day where I decided to hike out early to the nearest trailhead, I was sweating so much that I lost everything I was drinking through sweat. I only urinated once all day. In fact, in the evening I finally got back to my car and went out to a convenience store where I bought 2L of water and 1L of diet soda. I drank all of the water and 1/2 of the soda that evening and yet I still wasn't able to pee until the next morning.

    I've heard of all this breathing pattern stuff. I used to think I should look into it and try to figure it out. Then I thought, well, I'm running...and I'm breathing....and I'm not dying...so, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, lol.

    I saw a comment the other day that runners should only ever practice breathing through their noses and not through their mouths as you get more oxygen that way. I haven't yet got my head around that.

    Yep. "In twice through the nose, out once through the mouth" is what I was taught at one point. Never actually tried it though. :)

    @Ohhim I am always amazed at thr numbers you put up, especially combined with the cycling and swimming. With how you train, I can't wait to see how you do at thr IMWC 70.3 in November. You make my numbers loom puny, but that's fine with me, you're a beast!

    @Stoshew71, I really hate it when my uterus falls out.
    @MNLittleFinn, wow!

    As to breathing, my (80 year old) dad told me to breathe in for two counts, out for two. Oh, yeah, he was Army and ran in the Los Angeles marathon back in the day. Ha, it's all I can do not to trip over my own feet. Count? Who needs it?

    I saw a comment the other day that runners should only ever practice breathing through their noses and not through their mouths as you get more oxygen that way. I haven't yet got my head around that.

    "Mouth breathing is by far the best way to breath while running, largely because it brings in more oxygen than breathing through the nose. It get's better: Forcing air through the nostrils can tighten your jaw and other facial muscles, and tension is never good for running."

    From a google search with runnersconnect as the source. Other articles say the same and I also read the same on forums, you should breathe through your mouth.

    So I have a cousin who knew I was running a lot and told me that he started running.

    Great I said. he's a total beginner. Then he started talking about how he is practicing his breathing patterns. I told him, don't worry about the way you breath, just breath natural. And just worry about running at a conversational pace for now. He gave me this dirty look.

    Tell him he has to run left right left right, and if he runs right left right left he will serious stunt himself as a runner and to just focus on getting that right for now. :lol:

    Which one of these is the "lmao" button? Oh wait, we don't have one. But we got this 'woo' button.


    EDIT:
    (By the way, you know there is someone lurking and trying to decide if they want to join this Challenge or not and saw the breathing jokes and got offended and we will never know.)


    You mean there are still people who can get offended and NOT let people know???


    And @PastorVincent - I am extrapolating here, coming from a state that is a bit short on frogs.... but I always got told if you see a turtle on a fence post, you may not know how it got there, but you can be damn sure it had help.... less certain on the frog on a fence thing...

    @Stoshew71 ok ok I get it. The plan I found and was going to use may be good for someone else but in your option it is stupid. I have enough speed. I could run a ppl at the pace I want to run the marathon, I need to build endurance. How does one do that, longer runs and more time on feet and miles. I need to build that endurance with a careful plan that does not add too much too fast. Hill work might do me some good and cross training is in addition to running not instead. I'll note a few things. 1. I ran my half last Saturday and my training was goid enough that not only was I happy with my time but it's not a week since and I feel great. 2. I ran 19 miles at a 9:05 pace I could have gone further if I had enough water and I wanted to be foolish. So I think I am in a good place to train for a full marathon for October with the simple goal of sub 4 hours.

    June total – 232.61

    Nominal Challenge Goal – 230 miles
    Real Goals: Stay healthy. Train toward Rochester Marathon. Run McMullen Mile in under 5:50 on June 9. [Done, 5:44.9] Run Medved 5K to Cure ALS in under 20:00 on June 18. [Done, 19:32]

    Today's notes – The assignment on the marathon training plan was 800 at T, 3x2000 at T, and 4 laps stride the straights. It was 79º F (26º C) with 65% relative humidity, with the saving grace that there is plenty of shade in the evening. Of course, I was dripping with sweat after the 2+ mile warmup.

    Did the revised drills that focus on injury prevention. Even though the drills are largely focused on preventing high hamstring and groin issues, somehow they got the blood flowing so my Achilles (which had muttered a bit during the warmup) went silent. Then I thought about the workout proper.

    Coach had put several alternate workouts on the board. The one labeled as "Boilermaker or marathon" was 20 minutes at E, 20 minutes at T, 30 minutes at E. I thought about it, and decided to swap out the marathon plan workout for this one. My reasoning was, I'm concerned about being kind to my right calf and Achilles till it feels more robust. Even though this workout is more distance than the one in plan + 2 mile cool down, there is less time at T intensity. (I estimate 3x2000 at T would have me doing 24 minutes of T, plus another minute and a half or so for the 800.) I can run the easy on nice soft trails, and the T on the Erie Canal path. Out on the trails I won't be a slave to holding a precise T pace like I would be on the track. And in the back of my mind, I remember that one of the risks for Achilles tendinities is always running the same direction on a track. My Achilles grabbed my attention a week ago, the day after a workout featuring 2x600 at R on the track. I took some extra rest, cut distance, quieted it down . . . and it spoke up again yesterday after Tuesday's 3x600 at R on the track.

    Call me paranoid, but I wanted my tempo to be off the track today.

    So I ran a bit of road and a lot of trail to get to the Erie Canal path. Finished the easy 20, and ran the path to the next lock, back to the slow pedestrian area, turn around and start back at T level of effort. Finish that 20 minutes, and run easy to a trail I haven't run often, then take that back to where I have to watch traffic to cross Monroe Avenue and pick up a very familiar trail back to base. Got back to base all of 30 seconds early, so I had one loop of the parking lot to get my 70 minute workout in.

    Along the way, I got to run some soft trails, and perhaps a half mile of a moderately technical trail with patches of mud that were dry the last time I ran it. Thought about cross training and working different muscle groups than road running, and decided this was good for being kind to my Achilles. I was rewarded with a calf and Achilles that felt no worse after 11.28 total miles than they did when I started, and a totally silent Achilles after I stretched.

    Tomorrow is a rest day, so the book is closed on June running miles.

    June performance versus goals: Exceeded the mileage goal by a narrow margin. This is pure blind luck; I set that goal by adding the old, higher training plan goals and knocking off a fudge factor for Life Happens or my body saying it didn't like running that many miles. As June turned out, my body *did* say it didn't like running that many miles, and I chopped some out plus revised the targets downward.

    Stay healthy, B-. I've had that Achilles niggle, and I'm doing what I understand about it. I hasn't prevented me from running, but it has made me adjust my plans for running. As of today, I am cautiously optimistic that I can train through it, if I'm smart enough about how I train and when I back off. I am happy that I recognized it early and took action to mitigate/prevent damage rather than running through the discomfort.

    Train toward Rochester Marathon, A-. The Achilles niggle has got me to take some hills out of my running, and Rochester has a lot of up and down. Other than that, the mileage is going well and the cardio is fine. I could run 20 minutes at T today, and I didn't even think about 3x2000 at T giving me rest breaks. (Coach mentioned it, or it wouldn't have even occurred to me that the rest breaks could be a consideration.)

    Run McMullen Mile in under 5:50, check.
    Run Medved 5K to Cure ALS in under 20 minutes, check.

    Based on HR data and how I felt afterward, I think I *could* have run both McMillan and Medved faster than I did. But I didn't need to run them any faster than I did, and I got through them healthy. I'm happy with that. I don't need to feel like puking at the end of every race.

    I'm content with my performance versus goals for June. Now I need to think about July goals.

    Though to run my first marathon I used Hal's Novice 1 plan

    http://www.halhigdon.com/training/51137/Marathon-Novice-1-Training-Program

    No idea if it is any good, but got me from struggling 10-mile race to the full marathon with nothing inbetween. :)

    Goal for June. Finish Marathon training well, taper well and run Grandma's well
    Nominal mileage goal: 100

    Today's notes: Today called for 6 easy miles. I ended up with 6.1 and a stop at the grocery store. I slowed down quite a bit tonight, my first run in a long time that was slower than 10min/mile. But that's ok, between keeping my HR at 158 or lower and carrying 2 full 20oz bottles (and an 8 pack of burritos the last 0.75 miles), I still managed to keep my avwrage HR at 153 with 78% of the run in z2/1. Ill be working on getting my HR down more and relearning eawy running.

    Interesting thing... even though I don't place any stock in it, Garmin gave me the same recovery time for today's 6bmiles as yesterday's 3..... my watch must think I took it a lot easier....

    With tomorrow being a rest day, this was my last run of the month. Pretty happy with my mileage, I just need to keep on working I learning when to cut back and take it easy.

    Hope you all had a runderful day!

    @Elise4270 : that was some nasty burn! Steve's pic in the pool was taken in August. In Phoenix. In the middle of the day--he suffered a terrible burn. We were young and stupid. My mommy guilt trip/angst tells me that's when it started....
    @girlinahat: I had read that about those starfish before, and yet in 12 years of at least bimonthly snorkeling, it's the first I've seen.
    @KatieJane83 I'm late, but great run and race report!

    I've been running too hard on ALL of my runs

    @MNLittleFinn I've noticed you say you ran too hard after pretty much every run.

    It's been happening so long I've lost the plot now and can't work out if 80/20 is too hard for anyone to follow, or if you're worrying too much, or if you really are overreaching. :smiley:
