Trying to catch up on what I missed this month and saw this that I thought I comment on. Let's see, since I have been in a long time funk since my last marathon try last year at KDF. I guess I have changed my priorities with my running. Instead of just trying to BQ or get better at races, I just run now with no clear…

Hi all. I realize that I wasn't active on the thread again this month. Just a lot of things going on. I have been running and trying to make a comeback. Slowly making progress with that. Although, I will not make the dart on the board goal of 150 miles that I set earlier this month. Small steps though. Date Miles today -…

OK, closing out July. Sorry I have been MIA. Not only personal divorce problems, but now work has been busy the last couple of weeks. Super busy. Thanks @shanaber for taking care of August for me.

Never mind, I see @shanaber did already.... https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10685375/august-2018-running-challenge/

I need to make a 2018 thread if someone didn't do so already....

I'm off to a bad start here trying to keep up with the thread. Two questions were asked. I live in the Huntsville, Alabama, USA area. My favorite race to date would be the Oak Barrel HM in Lynchburg, TN sponsored by the Jack Daniels Distillery. (Ran it 3x) Date Miles today - Miles for July 7/3 6.2 miles - 6.2 7/5 6.2 miles…

Thanks all for the well wishes. "This too will pass!"

Dude, if you like bourbon then you really need to do this race: http://www.oakbarrelhalf.com/ sponsored by the Jack Daniels Distillery. Or the Kentucky Derby Half/Full Marathon https://derbyfestivalmarathon.com/ Since Jim Beam is a major sponsor. I have souvenir bottles with my race time engraved from both races.

July's Challenge: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10678103/july-2018-running-challenge/

Hey guys, sorry for falling off the face of the earth for pretty much the entire month of June. I had a very rough month. I haven't announced it, been keeping from social media, but I am going through a very contested divorce and that explains a lot of my inactivity on here as some days and even weeks get real tough. I am…

@Orphia I am so proud of you. Awesome job.

JUNE: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10671082/june-2018-running-challenge

Hi guys. I fell off the earth the last couple of weeks and I have been slacking. it's the end of the month and I know I need to create a new challenge. it will be done by COB. (hopefully by lunch) Promise. *crosses fingers*

With regards to long runs, the basic accepted rule is that your long run should fall somewhere between 25%-35% of your total weekly mileage. As far as what you do the rest of the week depends on your goals, your current fitness level, and what "quality" workouts you may be adding in. When you do a run, you want to be able…

The term "hitting the wall" is many times thrown out by different people that could be caused by a number of different factors. Same thing for, "losing steam". In general, you got fatigued. But why? What caused it? Here's 2 articles to read on the subject. https://runnersconnect.net/bonk-fatigue-cramp/…

@PastorVincent I read your race report and post race report. Awesome job and how thoughtful for being there for your wife. I know! I know! It's a week late. @lporter229 Congratulations on your full and BQ. Congratulations @kdbulger on your 5K Like I said, sorry I am a week behind.

I am super way behind on the thread. And I was out on business travel last week in southern Arizona. Doubt I will get to read the thread in much detail, but will see how much I can briskly run through it.
