- I'm participating in a running study that will involve me doing two 5k time trials on treadmill. I try to avoid the treadmill as much as possible so I've never done anything like this. When I do use a…
- So, since the news feed is borked right now I thought I'd start a thread for runners to post their workouts / thoughts, etc. I'll go first -- here is the link to my recap of the cancelled Minneapolis …
- I'm going to enter a track 5k this July, and there are two heats. The first heat is the open division, and the second heat is for 17:59 and better pace. I've run two 5ks faster than that, but I seriou…
- Welcome to the MFP runners' Team Challenge! Each month we set running goals and then track our miles and encourage each other to keep it up. Check in here for May! To join us, all you need to do is vi…
- So, on Sunday I'm pacing a friend at the Minneapolis Marathon. She wants to get her BQ, which is 3:35, an 8:12 pace. It's looking to be a warm-ish, muggy day, possibly rainy, and the course is flat. I…
- Neat article on Competitor.com: Link to original article: http://running.competitor.com/2014/05/out-there/out-there-there-is-no-should-in-running_102898#e8v6QW2kHx1GkcPR.99
- A big topic of interest on MFP is the "NSV" - non-scale victory. Like when you can fit into jeans a size smaller or someone flirts with you for the first time in years. But what about runners -- shoul…
- There is something to be said about registering early for a race: You are guaranteed a slot if the race fills up, you won't have to worry about the race running out of t-shirts, and you often get a be…
- Interesting concept. A fitness tracker with some "serious" running features as well. Is this the holy grail for runners? Or a compromise doomed to failure? http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2457461…
- I always tell runners that strength training is the most effective way to avoid repetitive stress injuries. I haven't had this sort of injury in the past year since I started a comprehensive strength …
- People often talk about destination marathons and half-marathons, and there are some really famous 10Ks like Cooper River, Peachtree, and the Boulder Bolder. But what about 5Ks? Can we come up with a …

- I got 1,000 once at the Bridges Half Marathon -- ended up winning my age group!
- My drawers are overflowing with race shirts -- some technical, some cotton. I like to keep the nice ones but lately I've had a string of duds. Even when I do well in a race I don't want to wear a crap…
- This is just amazing. Rita Jeptoo is so fast she can outrun a train!
- On the spur of the moment I signed up for a 10K on Saturday April 19. Just thinking out loud about strategy here, feel free to chime in! It's been nearly a year since I ran a 10k, and that was on a mu…
- Super thorough breakdown of many of the major devices. http://fellrnr.com/wiki/GPS_Accuracy TL/DR: Garmin 910xt rules, Garmin 620 drools.
- For me, I'd like to see some 2-mile races. Also, 30k is an intriguing distance: It's about where most people tend to hit the wall in a marathon, so it'd be neat to just be able to *stop* at that point…
- I'll start: I e-filed at 3:00 this afternoon. Surely someone can do better than that!
- In the past I've typically used 5Ks as fitness gauges for longer races; they haven't been ends in themselves. You know the drill: You run your best 5K, plug your time into McMillanrunning.com, and it …
- Welcome to the MFP runners' Team Challenge! Each month we set running goals and then track our miles and encourage each other to keep it up. Check in here for March! To join us, all you need to do is …
- ... that "edgy" Depeche Mode song from your youth is playing on the Muzak in your neighborhood Ace Hardware ...People your kids' age (if not necessarily your kids) have steady full-time jobs ...You fo…
- I'm planning on refocusing on the 5K - 10K distance next fall and thinking about setting up a group to discuss this stuff. Any interest? The group would focus on experienced runners looking to improve…
- So...I have been running my my Hoka Stinson Tarmacs for about a month now, and I only just realized that they actually came with two sets of insoles. One is very thin and flat and the other has about …
- My design skills aren't great -- anyone have any suggestions for a cover image? We need a square image to go on the front page of our group and a smaller one for the groups listing: 275 X 275 and 95 X…
- I am getting ready to enter the Pike's Peak Marathon and you are required to enter a qualifying time, down to the second. The results page for the race I want to use gives the time to the tenth of a s…
- A runner in my group just posted that she'd take 80 over 30 any day. Personally I'd much prefer 30 -- assuming it wasn't freezing rain or something. What's the coldest and warmest temp (with normal hu…
- Today I got much flak from my running group for stopping my Garmin at 14.99 miles instead of running an extra .01 to get a round number. I actually kind of enjoyed seeing how frustrated everyone was. …
- Check-in here for: February! Remember, folks, there's a new system for recording your numbers -- you'll need to visit the spreadsheet below and record your information on the first tab. The second tab…
- I am a runner, but I really want to be able to bench press 200 pounds. I have made a goal to bench 200 by the end of July. Currently I can lift 120. The problem is, I absolutely HATE weight lifting. I…
