Today's notes: "short" trail Fartlek today. 10min WU, then 20x30sec (10/10 effort)with 2min jog and then 10min CD. Run felt good. on road I could have put more into the reps but, in genera;, they were pretty good. Trail conditions were amazing, the XC tails almost didn't feel like trail, I kind of felt like I was cheating, but coach did say to make it an easier section of trail....
Have a Runderful day!

Looks like i actually might make this months goal. Will most likely have to drop 20 miles for next month to be a realistic goal i can meet.

@polskagirl01 – Congratulations on your marathon! They are hard when we are feeling good – but to finish and to finish well while in so much pain is a great accomplishment! Thanks for the review.
@stoshew71 – hope your recovery from the flu is going well.
Winter has returned to us in Virginia also Pastor Vincent. The wind woke me up howling last night and the snow was blowing sideways when I left home this morning. Thankfully, today was a cross-training day and not a run day. I did Dr. Metzel’s Iron Strength for Runners dvd in the comfort of my basement. Lots of burpees, squat jumps and other fun moves!
Upcoming Races:
February 3 – Strawberry Plains Half Marathon
February 24-25 – Gasparilla Amber Challenge (15K & 5K on Saturday; Half Marathon on Sunday)
May 6 – Pittsburgh Half Marathon

Somehow I missed it. When did Strava start reporting mileage decimals to the hundredths place?0

@starflight Temperature is relative to your " Normal Avg Temp" -13C for me is cool, its only 2 layers plus a wind shell. My Sunday 4 Feb Chilly Willy Event promises to live up to it's name. The forecast A mix of sun and cloud with 60 percent chance of flurries. High -18C. Clear. Low -20C. 3 layers plus ???PastorVincent wrote: »mamabear10717 wrote: »PastorVincent wrote: »mamabear10717 wrote: »@Stoshew71 will there be a new challenge for February 2018?!

@mamabear10717 and if you miss it we will - in good humor - redirect you to the new thread.
Of course there's always the challenge to see who gets to post first in the new month - a little clickbait there
@MNLittleFinn I didn't notice when Strava made the change but they probably had people complaining about accuracy.0 -
1/1 - 4 treadmill miles on a way too cold day.
1/2 - Two flat tires doomed my chances of getting to the Y / gym.
1/3 - 4 more 'mill miles.
1/4 - 5.1 treadmill miles at Trek Class, then upper body weights.
1/5 - Unplanned rest day.
1/6 - 4 treadmill miles, then upper body weights.
1/7 - Another 4 on the 'mill. Finally could have run outside, but my son asks me to take him to the gym
1/8 - Nothing yet, but planning an odd (for me) evening run.
1/8 - 4.8 miles. First outdoor run in a while. Almost got hit by cars twice...people are stupid.
1/9 - Rest day.
1/10 - 5 miles outside...woot!
1/11 - Snow day (really?!?). Stayed home with kids, snuck to Y in late afternoon for 4 treadmill miles and some weights.
1/12 - Really sore in the low back, hips and knees. Gonna wait and see.
1/13 - 5 treadmill miles. Didn't hurt to run, but the rest of the day was very sore / stiff.
1/14 - Rest day.
1/15 - 10.5 "miles" on stationary bike, then upper body weights.
1/16 - Rest day.
1/17 - 10.5 miles on stationary bike and upper body weights.
1/18 - 4.5 treadmill miles at Trek Class. Didn't do the inclines as directed, will see how hip feels today.
1/19 - Rest day.
1/20 - 4.6 miles outside. Felt good during, but not so good later in the day
1/21 - 10.5 miles on stationary bike and upper body weights.
1/22 - Rest day.
1/23 - 4 treadmill miles at Trek Class. Again, took it easy on the inclines, and stopped about 10 minutes early.
1/24 - Planned to head to gym for stationary and weights...overslept, as did my kids...ugh!
1/25 - 5 miles outside. Will see how my hip feels later today.
1/26 - 10.5 miles on stationary bike and upper body weights.
1/27 - 5 miles outside.
1/28 - 10.2 miles on stationary bike and upper body weights. Apparently, I slowed down.
1/29 - Woke up with crazy low back and hip pain. Subsided with movement, but not sure what's up. Gone now. Maybe it isn't a running issue and I need a new bed
1/30 - 4.15 treadmill miles at Trek Class. Easy on the inclines. Again, back stiff and sore first thing in the morning, not while running, and a little bit as I sit at my desk. Sorry for the whine.

I didn't even notice until you mentioned it, but considering the accuracy of the GPS units and the pinging frequency, it's a bit silly to carry out that far. I guess it gives the *perception* of greater accuracy.
@rheddmobile those heatmap traces you see in areas that you never see runners and wouldn't' expect the walkers you see to use Strava might very well be from folks in cars who forgot to stop their watches. The heatmap shows tracks on interstates from people driving with their watches tracking but it looks like it's more the bikers than the runners.
@HonuNui sorry to hear about your spill, it looks like that will sting! Congrats on the great race though!! My goal is to place in a race someday. I need to start looking for smaller races.
@PastorVincent are you planning on training on trails before your 50k?
@karllundy I hope you get that back sorted out soon.
@Stoshew71 I hope you beat that bug quickly!
Great race, @polskagirl01 ! What a beautiful place for a race!

Nice easy run this morning. Tried to keep my heart rate down. Ran through a new park by a different YMCA. Pretty nice. I finished just before the rain started and now it is snowing!
Going to catch up on the thread and figure out my February goal!

I just noticed this yesterday. I wasn't bothered by reports in tenths, but I didn't like the way Strava chopped insted of rounding. It was annoying to see something that rounded to 3.00 miles on Garmin show up as 2.9 miles on Strava.1 -

That was my issue with it. When a lot of runs show up as XX.Y8 or XX.Y7 on Garmin and get chopped to XX.Y, there's definitely some mileage loss in the long run.0 -
