10/1- 7.6 miles 10/2- 4.05 miles 10/3- 14 miles (2:03:05, 8:47/mile) October To-Date: 25.65 miles October Target: 185 miles Percentage Complete: 13.86% On-Pace?: 7.74 miles ahead of pace

2 x 2 miles at tempo pace this morning, which (by heart rate) was slower than I would've liked by, on average, about 15 seconds per mile. Not completely surprising, since my heart rate is always higher after a rest day. 10/1- 7.6 miles (1:01:28, 8:05/mile overall, Tempo Miles were 7:13.7, 7:11.1, 7:02.4, 7:08.2) October…

I have to set a target that's going to be challenging this month, to keep me focused on my half marathon in November (though, note that November's total will be lower in comparison, due to tapering). I'm in for 185 miles in October.

9/1 - 5.1 miles 9/2 - Rest 9/3 - 7.3 miles 9/4 - 4 miles 9/5 - 13.11 miles 9/6 - 5 miles 9/7 - 8 miles 9/8 - 4.5 miles 9/9 - 6.1 miles 9/10 - Travel 9/11 - 7.56 miles 9/12 - Travel 9/13 - 6.3 miles 9/14 - Skipped 9/15 - Travel 9/16 - 6.22 miles 9/17 - 6.7 miles 9/18 - Travel 9/19 - 9.5 miles 9/20 - 5 miles 9/21 - 7 miles…

Okay, I've gotten lazy about posting here, but not about running... 9/1 - 5.1 miles 9/2 - Rest 9/3 - 7.3 miles 9/4 - 4 miles 9/5 - 13.11 miles 9/6 - 5 miles 9/7 - 8 miles 9/8 - 4.5 miles 9/9 - 6.1 miles 9/10 - Travel 9/11 - 7.56 miles 9/12 - Travel 9/13 - 6.3 miles 9/14 - Skipped 9/15 - Travel 9/16 - 6.22 miles 9/17 - 6.7…

Way behind now, but let's see how close I can get. Not going to give up. 160 pushups today. 1,558/3,000

Recovery run this morning, but had to cut it short as my stomach didn't cooperate. 9/1 - 5.1 miles 9/2 - Rest 9/3 - 7.3 miles 9/4 - 4 miles 9/5 - 13.11 miles 9/6 - 5 miles 9/7 - 8 miles 9/8 - 4.5 miles 9/9 - 6.1 miles 9/10 - Travel 9/11 - 7.56 miles 9/12 - Travel 9/13 - 6.3 miles 9/14 - Skipped 9/15 - Travel 9/16 - 6.22…

Had a big effort planned this morning. As my mileage had been slightly down lately due to vacation (and thus, theoretically, my legs should be fresher), I decided that I would try a time trial 5K this morning, to see what my current speed is like... ...only to then walk out into oppressive humidity (72 F, 93% relative…

Had a good run this morning, 7 miles, kept my heart rate down for the most part. Pleased with the speed I got at that effort level, though I fell short of clocking in at one hour by 22 seconds... 9/1 - 5.1 miles 9/2 - Rest 9/3 - 7.3 miles 9/4 - 4 miles 9/5 - 13.11 miles 9/6 - 5 miles 9/7 - 8 miles 9/8 - 4.5 miles 9/9 - 6.1…

Just got back from a vacation, which was not as active for reps as I wanted (still got in a few runs, though, including 2 along the rim of the Grand Canyon!) 872 reps prior to the trip + 391 reps during the trip + 135 pushups today = 1,398/3,000 Behind pace, but we can finish strong!

I am an experienced runner of about 9 years, but I live at sea level so yes, the altitude was a remarkable adjustment. I ran twice while I was there (Thursday and Friday). The Thursday run was about normal for pace and heart rate, adjusting for the fact that half of it was uphill and then I turned around and the other half…

Back from vacation, where I still ran a number of times, though not as much as I hoped... That said, you can't beat running along the rim of the Grand Canyon: 9/1 - 5.1 miles 9/2 - Rest 9/3 - 7.3 miles 9/4 - 4 miles 9/5 - 13.11 miles 9/6 - 5 miles 9/7 - 8 miles 9/8 - 4.5 miles 9/9 - 6.1 miles 9/10 - Travel 9/11 - 7.56…

I'm going on vacation starting Friday, so I've been very focused on getting mileage in now while I know I can. While I intend to run while on the trip as well, it's just harder to predict how much running I'll actually be able to do when I'm away. Add to that a lingering discomfort I had taken care of yesterday, as I had a…

Another 5 sets of pushups this morning. Pleased to be getting back into this routine. 25 + 29 + 25 + 25 + 38 = 142 872/3000

6x15 on the ab roller this morning after a quality track session. 730/3000

Quality session this morning - 2 mile warmup, 2x800s @ 3:08 each, 2xMile @ 6:51 each, 2x800s @ 3:08 each, 2:00 walk between sets, then a cooldown. Really felt the fatigue of last week's mileage and yesterday's trip to the beach... Ran the first 800 in 3:12 (which used to be my target on 800s), but then somehow ran the…

After a long run yesterday and a recovery run this morning, it was more pushups today. Fewer reps than Saturday, but with less rest between them. Still struggled to finish, but hey, it's not supposed to be easy... 21+25+21+21+25 = 113 640/3000

5 recovery miles to start off the week... 9/1 - 5.1 miles 9/2 - Rest 9/3 - 7.3 miles 9/4 - 4 miles 9/5 - 13.11 miles 9/6 - Recovery Run - 5 miles (44:16 -- 8:51/mile) September To-Date: 34.51 miles September Goal: 141 miles Percentage Complete: 24.48%

Solid long run this morning, clocking in with a half marathon just a tick over 1:50, though my heart rate was a little higher than I'd prefer at an easy-ish pace (it is a holiday weekend, so I blame the ... excess of alcohol I've had compared to normal in the last couple of days...) A total of 42 miles for the week, a…

No strength work yesterday (I did run 10x400m intervals, however). Today, an easy 4-mile recovery run and a return to 5 pushup sets: 22+30+20+20+35 = 127 527/3000 Core work and a long run tomorrow.

Thank you to @WhatMeRunning and @Scott6255 for the compliments on yesterday's intervals! :) Breaking in a new pair of running shoes with an easier run this morning. Tomorrow will be my last run in the old shoes (as I prefer a few easy runs in the new ones before anything difficult/long). 9/1 - 5.1 miles 9/2 - Rest 9/3 -…

Welcome to MFP!

10x400s this morning with a target time of 90 seconds each. (2 mile warm-up, 2:00 break between reps) :89.2 ✅ :87.1 ✅ :87.8 ✅ :88.8 ✅ :88.7 ✅ :87.4 ✅ :88.3 ✅ :88.3 ✅ :89.0 ✅ :86.2 ✅ Recovery run tomorrow, Long run Sunday... 9/1 - Easy Run - 5.1 miles 9/2 - Rest 9/3 - Quality Session - 7.3 miles September To-Date: 12.4…

Core work this morning. For the static work (planks, holds, etc.) I count 10 seconds as a rep. Everything else counts a little more clearly. In total, it came to 300 reps even today, so that's 400/3000 for now...

Thursday is my rest day from running and, all the better, as there's some major flooding in these parts. Did 10 minutes of core work this morning, however. 9/1 - Easy Run - 5.1 miles (45:30 - 8:55/mile) 9/2 - Rest September To-Date: 5.1 miles September Goal: 141 miles Percentage Complete: 3.64%

Back in this challenge after a long break (from the thread, not from running...) I'm currently about 114 miles away from surpassing my total mileage from 2020 for this year. [2020 total = 1,284.38 miles, 2021 to-date = 1,170.44 miles] 9/1 - Easy Run - 5.1 miles (45:30 - 8:55/mile) September To-Date: 5.1 miles September…

👋

This looks like exactly what I need to get on track with consistency in bodyweight work (my gym does not re-open until October 4). Anyway, after my morning run (5.1 miles), it was 5 sets of pushups this morning: 20+25+15+15+25 = 100/3000 Here's to a successful September, everybody!

Post-run after melting in the humidity...

Hello all, feel free to add me! Currently spinning my wheels a bit... ran my first sub-6:00 mile on August 8, but right now I'm kind of biding my time before a vacation next month and before my gym finally reopens in early October. Having a hard time staying focused in the meantime, but motivating others helps keep me on…
