@LoveyChar As others have said the time difference can be quite variable. My Road HM Pb 2:12:36. My Trail HM Pb 2:56:12. My Trail HM Avg 3:30. My Trail HM High ~6:40. Just imagine what a full marathon time would have been for that terrain. Sometimes there's more speed walking than running. Recovery time - much faster on…

No - Not close enough. I keep forgetting about the Border Hugging States. You probably get some of the Lake effect storms. Keep that husband of yours running now that he has been trained. I know some people who do a running Tag game - the Tagged person leads/sets pace for a km or mile and then randomly tags some one else…

As @ and as @Avidkeo said "I'm surprised you are asking! Go, do, have fun!" and start looking for some trail races with longer distances to stretch your distances. Something that is starting to get bigger is the short distance (4-10km) multi-loop trail races where you get a time limit of 1 hour per loop and then do as many…

I will never be a front of the pack finisher but mine is " Trails" any type of bush trail where you get slapped in the legs and face with branch's. One of my favorite runs is at a local event called Emperor's Challenge where we run ( walk ) over a mountain - across multiple creeks, rocky escarpments, through a pond, across…

@polskagirl01 You need a T-shirt with that image on it. " 2019 Runs " Hit up Zazzle and get that added to the back of our MFP Run Group shirt.

@Camaramandy648 I agree with the good words from @PastorVincent . My RHR is 55-60 but spikes early in a run and flattens out ( not flatline ) at ~140 and slowly climbs from there. My brother RHR 40 - he spikes to 160 and then flattens out. We all have differant setpoints, just keep track of the trends in yours is the best…

As a Northern we would call that a Dusting not a blizzard. And the cloths on the line would be like sheets of plywood - frozen solid. But for people who don't live in a winter environment I can understand the sentiments. Yes I am still lurking around. Plantar Fasciatis healed up = 5 months of frustration/torture. Now the…

Have been lurking around - glad to see the thread is still a source of inspiration for my fellow swimmers. Adult swim club Tuesday and Thursday evenings - avg 1500 - 1800 m. Seen a few of the pool pics people posted. Pool Envy. Out little 6 lane 25m community pool seems so small. At least we have a pool. In January we had…

@durhammfp to add to @PastorVincent description of technical I add: "technical" - for Trail Hounds - read that as a whole lot of fun jumping over fallen trees, scrambling up rock bench's, surviving down hill portions that are near vertical, mud slides, water hazards etc. A few good photo's from events.

@Avidkeo As a medical professional in NZ hope your not called in to work due to the Eruption at Whakaari. I know you moved recently but couldn't remember if you are close to it. It's far enough off shore to not be a direct threat but stay safe and protect the family. Hope it's not a pre-cursor that cranks up Tongariro and…

@7lenny7 Thanks for the inquiry. Since my PF & Achilles Tendonitis kept me from running :s I had to get away from this forum as the temptation to run was just to big - especially reading everyone's race posts and goals accomplished. I am sorta back. Have managed a whole 7.5 km so far in November, 1k, 1k, 2k, 3.5k. Small…

@Elise4270 It might be the extra support of the footbed or the high tops, all I can really say is they were the boots/shoes that felt the best and seemed to give relief - not cause additional discomfort.

@Elise4270 Hang in there, sounds like slowly getting better for you. My PF is getting much better. Spent the last three days at my oldest brothers helping them prepare for an auction sale of the family farm. Wearing High Top Hiking boots as they feel the best. So lots of walking, bending, lifting etc. Should have worn my…

@Faebert Whats good for the soul is good for the body. So if my geography is right we now have athletic 3 New Zealand ladies in the group. @ContraryMaryMary , @Avidkeo and @kirstymn. So when will there be a HM Meet-up and pictures? Hawkes Bay ?? A special thanks to @Elise4270 for setting up October Challenge. I second…

@Lazy_Bones_85 If we were giving you the gears in your dreams just imagine what we would do in person o:) , no one deserves meanness, usually any comments are in support or if you know the persons personality - in humor. If you dream about us as a group we must be important to your physical and mental well being. @143tobe…

@ContraryMaryMary Thanks for the info. Will be adding in calf raises off of curbs along the only flat trail we have - Riverbank, unfortunately due to bridge construction this trail is cut in half and the detour around the construction - yep a hill. So it is effectively a 1.5km long trail from my end and 2.5 from the other…

@katharmonic , @shanaber , @Elise4270 , @PastorVincent Thanks for the words of encouragement. Unfortunately small town and no Sports Doc or Sports PT, plus 4 weeks wait for doctor appt as a two Doctors who are married recently moved back to the area close to their family. So we are down to 4 doctors for a region with…

For Sale - very cheap. 1 left Achilles - tendinitis included. Yes injured reserve and not getting better. Have a grand total of 40-50km in the last 2 months. Lurking in the background but it's hard to read of all the running adventures when you can't go out yourself. Especially since this is what I consider to be the best…

What Category do I fall into? 1, 2 and maybe partially 4. Since it's a 3hr drive to the closest sporting store I always have a few pairs in reserve. Also since manufactures change the models I have found some shoes no longer work for me. Saucony Peregrine 4 was a great shoe for me, 7 & 8's they seem to have made a small…

I haven't been very active on the group (June/July/August ) We are in the process of replacing every piece of telecom gear ( > 20,000 pieces ) in the Province of Alberta to versions that are encrypted due to Court Cases about violation of Privacy with un-encrypted voice and the " possibility " that the networks could be…

I have been running but not posting very much. Fighting a left calf niggle ( 8 day break ) and it feels pretty good now. Did some running while out of town at work exploring bush trails as my next event is all bush and a climb over a mountain. 07/01 14.0 km - 14.00km - 126.00km - YTD 506.21km Judah Hill 07/02 07.0 km -…

I remember the question of how we came up with our username was done once as the question of the month?? but I can't remember what year/month we did that in. Did any of my fellow Long Timers in this group keep a link to that string?? I Like the Virtual NYC Marathon concept, I pouched the Time Zone translation badly last…

@shanaber For your viewing pleasure Calvin and Hobbes

Found You. Thanks to @Avidkeo for setting the challenge for July. I missed keeping up with the June challenge due to work/life balance and time constraints so I know I missed some comments from fellow members. I am sure there were some epic mis-adventures as we seem to be good at doing that. Welcome to all the new…

Not saying that I fell behind on keeping up with everyone but Spent 7 days out of town for work - was planned for 2 days and spent 7 - you do the math on suitcase/clothing management. Which explains the gap from the 15th to the 22th. It did allow my grumpy calf to come back to normal. 06/04 2.2 km - 2.20km - 137.80km - YTD…

2.2 km Shorty along the Riverbank. After working in confined space yesterday afternoon ( crawling and wiggling over aluminum and steel ribs that gave me a rough massage ) I am very stiff and sore this morning. By the time I got the 1st km done I knew it just wasn't going to get better so turned and called it a shorty.

@ereck44 Grief counseling may help, but they won't know until they give it a real honest-hard try - for some people it just doesn't click. One of the hardest things for your sister and husband in the future is when they see a young man about the same age as their son would be with a child - that will hit them hard as the…

@juliet3455 - didn't you have terrible fires last year too? Wow - it looks like all of Alberta is in danger! Stay safe! [/quote] @shanaber Yes we had bad fires in Eastern Alberta - Fort McMurray last year. They have a few small ones there this year that could link up into another monster. We have 3 major fires in North…

Since my race last Sunday I have been to busy at work and with heavy smoke all athletic activities are cancelled. We have multiple major Forest Fires causing problems. https://511.alberta.ca/List/Alerts We are running out of local places to evacuate people to…

@Elise4270 Well done on the Moderation Recovery. So many of us go out to hard/to fast and end up right back on the DL list. Great idea of a Journal. Just leave out the no crutch walks so your doc/Physio don't get grumpy. Locked, Loaded and dangerous. Taser and Pepper Spray. With the pepper spray there should be a small…
