I don't understand the fascination with the nice round number of a time of 2:00:00 as if it's some sort of mystical barrier.
Setting a new world record, now that's cool. The fact that it's under a nice round number...meh
Well fine, then he is trying to set a world record of 1:59:59
But it's the 2:00:00 "barrier" he's trying to break, right?
It is just a convenient target to aim for. Targets are helpful. 0 -

I bet Kipchoge is one of those runners who always has to keep running his training runs until he gets to a whole number. No tenths of a kilometer for him!2 -

I am probably dreaming this, but was there a report at some point that said that breaking 2 hours was impossible for a human? If so that makes it a prime target.1 -

Treadmill warm-up run this morning then my last strength training session before my races next weekend. I just did upper body and core stuff today as I don't want sore legs from here out.
Also I just found out from my blood test results that I'm slightly anemic. Anyone deal with this? I do feel tired all the time, but I chalked that up to training and stress. Maybe not? So I guess I'll be working on diet and supplementing iron.4 -
So I teach a Bible class on Facebook Live every Thursday night, and to do this I have all kinds of fancy cameras and software and lighting. Normally it works fine, but not this night!
First, the software I use for presenting the slides on the video feed decided my free trial was up, just minutes before I went live. Which is nice since I spent hundreds of dollars on it. Well no biggie, I can just use Power Point for now and get by.
Then the software that mixes the feeds decided I did not have a video camera, microphone or even a screen for that matter. I could not get anything up and this was all at like 2 minutes till go live.
So, I did what any kid would have done, I fired up my cellphone and hosted my "proffesional" class in portrait mode with no slides, just the phone microphone, and poor lighting.
The scary thing is it actually worked very well, despite me hitting a button that started BabyShark playing in the middle of the lesson!
Le sigh. Now I just got to get it all working for next week...14 -

I read an article a while ago that a significant percentage of female long distance runners are anemic, because apparently the act of banging your feet about damages blood cells? You would think that lots of cardio prompts your body to make more red cells but apparently not. Anyway I’m also anemic, but probably not because of running - in my case, my lupus causes periodic vasculitis (inflammation of the blood vessels) which causes petichiae (little blood blisters under the skin) which kills a bunch of red cells. My solution is to supplement using Feosol bifera, which contains both heme and non heme iron, making it a little easier to absorb and easier on the stomach.
There are some other things that can help - if you drink coffee or tea at every meal or consume a lot of calcium rich food, all those things can block absorption of iron, while vitamin c helps iron absorption. Or if you have heavy periods, get those under control with meds.6 -
@katharmonic Adding to the iron information, NSAID can also have an adverse affect on iron. Cooking in a cast iron skillet can help if you are interested. I use probably a similar product to @rheddmobile , spatone iron water. But since I’m not as regular my iron has literally doubled, now in the 80’s (I can’t remember the units or which one it is... the one where you need to be at least 35-40). Eta. I’m lying here. I checked my last hemocrit and it was 42%... I must be confusing numbers.
Definitely pair your iron rich foods with vitamin C and avoid dairy with them, no cheese on that burger, iron fortified cereals with milk are counter productive, multi vitamin with iron and calcium and or magnesium ... take one supplement in the am other pm.. etc. tea in our area is a huge culprit. Anything with oxalates can thwart iron absorption, or cause the loss... I can’t remember exactly... that includes spinach. For the tiredness, a vitamin B complex will do wonders, least until you get that iron back up.
@rheddmobile yes actually the physical strike breaks the red blood cells and iron is “lost”. Crazy huh?
I miss being a runner... I’m just laying around getting fat.9 -

10/09: 8.52 miles - 3x(12' TR/6' EZ)
10/10: 5.68 mile trail run
Total: 78.05 miles
Notes:
Well it has been a few days since I checked in, life somehow always seems to get in the way! Finished out last week at 54.8 miles- my highest mileage week ever- and actually felt pretty good! Much less exhausted/sore/etc than when I had hit 50+ mpw in the past. I think the big differences this time around are that 1) I am running my easy days much slower than I used too (maybe even at a true easy pace finally?), and 2) I am doing a significant amount (> 50%) of my running on trails instead of 100% on roads.
Going in to this week, though, I suddenly started to feel a bit run down and severely lacking in motivation for the first time in quite a few weeks. Monday's rest day helped to alleviate this feeling some, but it was still a bit of a struggle to get out the door on Tuesday. Overall a nice 9 mile trail run that afternoon, and a decent average pace despite how I felt mentally.
I was feeling a little bit better (mentally) yesterday, which was good because it was "workout wednesday". I did the same workout as last week- 3x12 min at tempo pace with 6 min easy recovery. Surprisingly was a good amount faster this week, despite still feeling a bit fatigued and some bad stomach pain all day leading up to my run.
For comparison-
Last week: 79*F, average paces- 8:17/8:16/8:11, average HR- 177/177/180
This week: 76*F, average paces- 8:02/7:55/7:50, average HR- 177/180/179
Today- still feeling a bit run down mentally, and I again struggled to get out the door for my run. But I got my miles in so that's what counts. Tomorrow is my long run day so hopefully I'll wake up feeling more like myself again!

That doesn't fit my personal experience anyway. My red blood cells seem to last forever since I've started running and become more fit. As a result, my HbA1C's are always artificially inflated now. While they are not bad, they would look a lot better if they matched what my CGM would indicate is my eAG.1 -
@katharmonic I've been battling this issue pretty much since puberty. Female, heavy periods, vegetarian, immune system issues, bla bla bla.
I've been given iron supplements in various forms and strengths over the years and with all, as others have said, the most important things (apart from actually remembering to take the bloody things!) were to keep them well away from dairy, especially milk (think they made me leave at least a 3 hour gap between my morning coffee and taking them). Also try to take them with something with Vit C in. In a nutshell, calcium impedes iron absorption while Vit C aids it. Remember this while cooking too, as Elise said. Think lentils with tomato, chick pea salad with orange dressing...
At the moment I'm getting by on a specific multi-vitamin supplement for women with a high iron content, but this is one of those things it's best to take your doctor's advice on.
Oh, another thing about iron supplements... they can make you very constipated as well as turning what you produce a very worrying black colour! I found eating lots of kiwis was good for that, with the Vit C as an extra benefit!

Thank you @rheddmobile, @Elise4270 and @eleanorhawkins. I appreciate the tips. I'm also supplementing calcium and eat a lot of dairy so that's really important to know. Might take a bit to figure out the timing of everything. Definitely need to work on the Vitamin C.
I read a little about the impact-related breakdown of red blood cells. Seems a little crazy but apparently true and happens for all exercise but runners more so than cyclists, for instance, because of the frequent footstrikes. Women who run are just up against all kinds of risk factors.2 -

It was a nice 52F when I started my run this morning. I ran by myself and the streets were pretty deserted when I began at 5:00 am. By the time I finished, school and work traffic had picked up quiet a bit.
@katharmonic – I’ve been anemic before. After I got back into normal range my doctor told me to take a pre-natal multi-vitamin. If you read the label, most of the pre-natal vitamins have 150% of recommended daily allowance.
Good luck to everyone racing this weekend!

We have a cold front blowing in today following a rain storm. Woohoo cool weather!! But it will be 51F at race start for my 10 miler tomorrow and I haven't seen those temps in so long I can't remember how I dress for them. I'm hoping it will cool off enough by this evening that I can experiment a little. I'm thinking shorts and a long sleeve shirt. Maybe. Tank and capris? I don't know.5

I know everyone is different but it was around that temp when I ran this morning and I had on capris and a short sleeve tech shirt. I wasn't cold at all!

rheddmobile wrote: »Anyway, I’m looking forward to trying something new! No idea how long we’ll be able to go, since the mile loop is half gravel and my legs have a gravel allergy. But we’re going to give it a whirl! Does anyone who has done one have any advice for a 24 hr race, re: pacing, fueling, gear, and so on?
That sounds fun! I've only done one 12 hour race, but here's my thoughts- Bring at least one extra pair of shoes, of a different model. If your feet start to get sore, just a change of shoe might be all you need. Also bring a couple extra pair of socks
- Consider alternating your loops so you run one, walk the next, etc.
- Don't run so slow that your form becomes inefficient. Better to take walking breaks.
- If the loop has any uphill, walk it.
- Every once in a while go into a fast stride for 20 to 30 seconds to wake up your system and get your stride efficiency back.
- With a such a short loop, just bring the bare minimum in gear. I have a 12 hour race this Sunday with a 5 mile loop. No need to bring any food or water with you.
- Start eating right from the start to keep your energy up. If you wait until you're hungry, you will have a hard time catching up.
- Don't hesitate to take a break between loops if you need the break, either physically or mentally.
Good luck! My race goes from 7AM to 7PM Sunday. 5 mile loop, with a 1 mile loop for the last 2 hours.
@rheddmobile a few more ideas for your 24 hour race:- Bring extra chafe protection. Reapply before you need to.
- See if you can find out what they will have for food and drink at the aid station to make sure you're body is compatible with it. Supply some or all of it yourself if necessary.
- Trim your toenails prior to the race
- Don't let pebbles stay in your shoes for too long. Take the time to get them out right away.
- Don't let hot spots turn into blisters. I carry Leukotape with me to prevent this, though I've never had to use it. It's hard to tear so what I did was to take pre-cut strips and roll them around the small plastic tube in the center from a roll of dog poop bags. You could also use a AAA battery.
- If I had your 12:30 walking pace, I would walk a lot.
- Consider walking your first lap or two as a warm up. You've got all day and you'll be walking at some point eventually, might as well use it to warm up too.
- If you're mentally struggling after many laps, start to play mind games. Did you ever play that road trip game where you first find something that starts with the letter "A", then the letter "B", and so on? That's a good one to play. Another thing I like to do is to thing of someone I love who is no longer alive and just spend time thinking about all the memories with that person. Sometimes I'll even dedicate a race to someone, like my older brother or sister and think about them often throughout the race. Just a warning though, tears may flow.
- I imagine you'll have a space for your drop bag, or box. Be thoughtful how you lay things out in there. Have a ziploc bag for small items so they don't hide from you. I use another bag for things I know I won't need again. Stuff your extra socks in your extra shoes.
- Bring a chair in case you want to take a break.
- Some of these types of races will let you bring a tent and some folks take naps.
- Bring a backup light, or extra batteries, or both.
- If your GPS can be charged while in use, bring a small battery pack and cable to use while charging. Otherwise bring an extra GPS to use when the main GPS needs recharging. That's only if GPS data matters to you.
- To make your GPS battery last longer turn off bluetooth mode and the backlight. You'll turn bluetooth back on later to sync to your phone.
- Every so often stop and stretch your muscles through their full range of motion.
- I've not done this yet, in fact I just thought of it...if you know your maximum calorie intake per hour (mine is 250 to 300), have a plan for getting these in. If you're bringing your own food, prepackage it up into 1 or 2 hour increments so you can grab a bag and know that you have to finish it before the next period starts. Make sure you take into account the calories you drink.

I skipped my Tuesday & Wednesday runs. I had landscaping chores to do so I spent my time hauling old river rock down the hill to the back yard to dump. I'll call that cross training.
6 miles with Kody last night. It was warm, about 55F, but it was also rainy/drizzly and that kept us cool. I decided not to put my contacts in and that was a mistake. I wore a hat to keep the rain off my glasses but the drizzle was misty and I soon had the lenses covered. I then found out a battery in my headlamp had leaked and went dead, so no light. The headlights from the oncoming cars, shining through my wet glasses made it a challenge to see. I changed my planned route so I didn't have to run in the street with no headlamp. Still, it was a great run.
Tomorrow morning I'll take Kody on a short 4 mile run, then I have a 12 hour trail race Sunday. One of the things I'm really looking forward to is having a pacer for a loop, our very own @MegaMooseEsq !
I have a main goal of beating my distance from last year (42 miles officially) with a stretch goal of hitting 50 miles on my GPS (it read 43.8 miles last year).

@martaindale for 50 degrees I would wear shorts, a tank, and a long sleeve that I could ditch. Starting at 50 I'd get warm fast. I have a pair of arm sleeves that I haven't actually worn yet but may try for similar temps next weekend if that forecast holds.
So, today was interesting. I had some kind of allergic reaction that started during a lunch meeting, and I got really flushed and felt terrible. I wanted to just go home and lie down but decided on the way home maybe this was an urgent care situation. My head was throbbing and my heart pounding (not fast but hard) and I looked in the mirror and I was super red in the face and chest. I was diagnosed with an allergic reaction and given shots of Benadryl and steroids and the redness started going way down in a few minutes.
The culprit may be the iron supplement I bought and took for the first time yesterday (before obtaining some excellent advice here), but the nurse practitioner seemed a little skeptical given that I took one dose in the am yesterday an hadn't taken one yet today (I was waiting to take it later, away from calcium). The other possibility is the blackened tuna sandwich I had for lunch. If it was that, it was a pretty sudden onset, and I've eaten tuna many many times without issue.
I've never had a reaction to ANYTHING, so this is all very strange. Obviously I won't be taking any more of the supplements or eating any fish until I follow-up with my doctor.11 -
@rheddmobile and @7lenny7 Good luck on your races this weekend! Can't imagine being on the go for 12 or 24 hours!
Good luck to you too, @martaindale ! Hope you can figure out the clothing. I would think the sudden drop would require you to dress warmer than you normally would after your body has gotten used to the lower temperatures. But, maybe that is just if you were going to be taking a stroll.
Oh my @katarmonic! Glad you decided to go to urgent care. That sounds scary. Wonder if it was a spice that they put on the blackened tuna or something else on the sandwich? I guess you can be allergic to a spice. Can't you? Come to think of it, I don't know that I know of anyone who is. Closest thing is that I know someone who is allergic to garlic. I had to stop eating Alfredo at one of my favorite Italian Restaurants because something they started putting in it upset my system. I wasn't allergic, but about 5 minutes after finishing the meal, I was looking for the bathroom. It happened twice, so I knew that's what it was. Weird. Anyway, hope you get it figured out soon.1 -
Great tips @7lenny7 !0

Yes, you can be allergic to a spice or literally anything. I can not have wheat, garlic, onions, honeydew melons, and so on.
My guess is it was something in the tuna sandwich, but I would only take the next iron pill when you are near help just in case.1 -

Tomorrow is one of our "for fun" races. Its probably 4or 5 miles long, no one is really sure. We will not be doing it for time and it is the only race in years my teenager said "sure I will do that with you!"
It is the Stop, Drop and Run obstacle race: http://monacafire.com/5k/
Picture in your mind a Mud run, a Spartan, or a tough mudder, and then dial that back like 50%. Instead of 10 or 12-foot walls to scale there are 6 and 8-foot walls. Instead of mud, you have a slip and slide. And so on. Its good fun, no penalties for failing or skipping obstacles, and no timing chips. One distinctive thing in this race is they set actual cars on fire (they pour diseal fuel all over the inside and lite them up) and you get to use a real fire hose to try and put them out. The best part is when the airbags go off. They sound like gunshots and everyone jumps.
Thanks to my new reality of Raynuads I might skip the water obstacles if it is as cold as they are predicting. But we will see. My son might wear the GoPro this year. I wore it the first year.
So while it is technically a race, it is not really one either.

@katharmonic wow! Horrible. Had you had the tuna within 30 -45 min of the reaction? I wonder if the fish was contaminated with shellfish, or if the iron sup was. If I'd been longer than 30-40 min, like 12 hours since the iron, I'd suspect it. Sometimes those binders allow things to get further in your system and delays a reaction.
I hope you find out what it was before it happens again.1 -
I can’t walk but I’m an ultra runner. Well, more of an ultra “ran a half then run/walked a bunch.” But we finished 27 miles, which is slightly longer than a marathon so technically an ultra, right?
If I can walk tomorrow we may go back for a few more, but I predict it will be more of a “hobbling to the bathroom” sort of situation. The longest we had ever previously gone was 13.1 and the longest since spring when I was injured is 7 miles. So we got a bit carried away.
Achilles’ tendon feels fine, btw, it’s everything else that’s hurting! My poor toenails!
Going to collapse now!16 -
So, it has been done:
On Saturday morning in Vienna, on a course specially chosen for speed, in an athletic spectacle of historic proportions, Eliud Kipchoge of Kenya ran 26.2 miles in a once-inconceivable time of 1 hour 59 minutes 40 seconds.

I was watching the livestream for the last hour of this. There were some clues that he was working really hard, but he sure makes it look like a jog in the park. Amazing 6
