  • In theory you can go 1 hour at LT, which is the clock i was referring to. I've run 10k's at or above LT and did training runs last summer of 52-55 minutes at that HR zone. I've never been able to get to that 1 hour mark, which is generally held as the max your body can take before your pace and performance slows.

  • Anything outside of a blood sample is just an educated guess. Mine is 172 blood tested last summer on a treadmill, so 174 might not be out of line since you are younger. The key to not bonking is to stay away from crossing. Once you cross for anything more than a few seconds the clock has started to count down until you…

  • We have a couple of Hurt's Donuts here in Wichita as well. They are not my favorites, but they do have some unique varieties to try. Mostly cake donuts that they slap tons of icing and decorate with cereal, gum, candy, pretzels, ect. When they opened the first store here there was a line over 1 hour long for nearly 2 days,…

  • Before I started running a lot, i'd have days where it was nearly impossible to get out of bed without taking pain pills. It would literally be impossible to put my socks on. While I'll have a flair up from time to time, maybe once or twice a year, they are typically over in a day or so. I think all the post run stretching…

  • What plan are you using? Your mileage looks a lot like mine from last year, which is a ton for a first go at a marathon. I ran my 3rd last October and felt more ready for it than in the previous 2 because of all those middle distance runs of 13-15 miles plus a 16-22 LR every week. I think you should be well trained for a…

  • My trainer has always told me it's bad to stretch cold muscles so I never stretch before a run. He is pretty emphatic about stretching shortly after a run however. There is only a handful of stretches he has me do but they do help, mostly hip flexor & hamstring. Trying to do most of them pre-run would probably pull on them…
