Not a race but - 37+ miles this week so far, may go later on for another few miles to get to 40. Highest since Oct 2013. I think it is possible to bounce back! YAY. Oh and I got 2nd in age group on a 10K Saturday, finish stretch at 7:01 pace. Total time not as impressive ha ha but feeling I am getting back in shape.

I'm in!!! I will do 100+ this month, hoping for more. Last month traveling hit me hard, BUT this month it will be less :bigsmile: so hopefully I'll make it this time. :happy:

Nice to see progress on the spreadsheet. Two PRs this month, a 5K PR in the 23s, and then a 10K in the low 50s. Caught a cold, and I am not getting better! UGH. Still running since it is upper respiratory, but it is a bit of a challenge. I am lowering my mileage to 125 so my goal doesn't look too unreachable :smile: Doing…

I re-started running at 47 (ran mid distance track 800s, 1500s in my 20s (in college)), and a few of road races for run). I will be 50 in a few months, and I feel I am fitter now, even though I am slower :huh: . Hoping to beat my 5K college age PR, not sure if it is possible or not, but I am still trying!!! :smokin: I love…

Hey everyone!! Hope everyone is doing well, and had a happy valentine's day!! Sorry about the cruches Mel, and glad to see you running Leanz! Did two halfs this weekend, did the first slow, so I would have energy left for the 2nd one, and I scored a 2nd place in my age group (that I will leave soon he he). The course was…

106 for this month, had hoped for more. I need to deal better with snow/and cold. [I grew up in the snow (Sweden) so I have no excuse really, BUT better than December though so an improvement at least. :happy: Hoping everyone is doing well! :flowerforyou:

I agree with the people who said to check iron levels. Fatigue is a symptom of an iron deficiency... And having TOM amplifies it further (you'll need extra iron then). It is easily fixed by adding iron rich foods to your diet (e.g., spinach, raisins, prunes, liver, red meats, eggs, lentils).

I don't do much stretching myself, and I agree that cold stretching is risky. I am with Carson, usually I warm up with slow running, then speed up to a run. Rolling works for me though, and the stick/and tiger tail works well for me, larger girth foam rollers are a bit cumbersome to use (for me).

in Is stretching harmful? What to do for Warm Up? Comment by Cooriander January 2014

Just checked the race out! and it THAT is a challenge for sure! :glasses: .trails (nice!), and the (8,000 ft?) elevation gain, looks to be in the neighborhood of Pikes (7,800 ft gain going up) peak (if I read that right) :huh: very impressive. Excellent! Looking forward to see your training progress :happy: I am interested…
