Wakey, Wakey all you runners out there.

Did a very easy 2.61 miles this morning. Yes I used mapmyrun for those miles. :laugh:

Our running group decided to cut it short do to still being sore from our race on Saturday. Not sure what is going on for tomorrow but I may do some track running this evening to get a few more miles in today. Have a great run everybody.

    Ran almost 3 miles on Saturday on the treadmill at the hotel. Got up this morning and started to run. Got about 2K in and BONKED! Couldn't believe it. I just couldn't make my legs go any more. I must have been more tired than I thought. Oh well, I walked a little ways then had a good stretch. Spin class tomorrow morning. I think it'll be beddybye time right after biggest loser tonight.
    Happy Tuesday everyone! :flowerforyou:

    Note to self: Refrain from eating massive amounts of trail mix before running...

    I was to run 8 miles, but only got 4.4 before I ran home to toss my cookies. My gut is so sick right now. :sick: Maybe I'll get the rest of my run in tonight at the gym, once my stomach calms down. It has been so sensitive lately - I'm having such a rough time finding anything to eat before a run. Any suggestions??

    I find a lot of things that usually don't bother me don't sit well if eaten before a run. I typically try not to eat, but for my long runs, when you really need something to sustain you, I like toaster waffles (not too much syrup). Easy to digest and good source of carbs for your run.

    Hi y'all! I had an awesome workout today. I ran a little over 5 miles, but I did it alongside a strength training session. I ran 10 minutes, then did 1 set of 4 different weight lifting moves, then the run, etc. I ran a total of 40 minutes and did 3 sets of the weights. It's an awesome speed workout, because mentally you're only going 10 mintues, so I was way faster than I normally would have been. The total workout takes about 60 to 70 minutes. WOO HOO!

    Well I can eat anything. For you I would suggest fruit? Banana, apple, I like to have a handful of grapes and some walnuts, it's a good taste combo, and some protien too! You only need about 100 calories, so either eat 200-300 a couple of hours before your run, or stick to something 100 cal. right before you head out the door, oh and I love, love, love Larabars, eat 1/2.:drinker:

    Hello runners

    I did my half last Sunday. Took 21 mins off from last year, but when you are slow to begin with, there is big room for improvement! So sored!! When should I go back to running? This weekend ..next week??

    You should run the day after a race, super slow and easy 10-15 minutes, to help flush out the lactic acid that is the cause of your soreness and stiffness. For the rest of the week, a couple of runs, again, easy and slower than your race pace. And then after that get back into what you were doing training-wise for your 1/2, and stay there, or ramp it up!

    Congrats on your PR! 21 minutes is great!

    Arlene,
    great job on your race :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:
    Angie is right, you want to get out for a recovery run the day after your race. It works wonders for reducing the soreness. There is some sort of formula that you should recover a day for each mile of your race, so take it easy for two weeks, then get back at it

    Yes, you waited too long :cry: , I've done it before too. You would've been sore the day after regardless, but it would of helped and you might not be as sore as you are now. That's okay though, live and learn. Just keep running, nice and easy, until you're ready to start training again or to just keep your fitness level up, and climbing!
