    How many miles did you run today?

    Just a check in - I am in week 2 of no running. Overtraining Syndrome in a major way took its toll, and the only way I am going to get better is to rest. It was hard to accept at first, but doing strength is helping. WIll resume running the last weekend of march. On a separate note Not sure...

     Re: Shin splints - lots of different remedies, but the classic is to take a paper cup, fill it with water and freeze it. Then tear off the paper little by little and use it to ice the affected areas. Using proper shoes will certainly help, but if you are using good shoes and are still...

    Sunday 16 w/ 10 miles at sub 610 pace. Walked 28 fri-sun, and ran 24. I think I ended up with just under 70 miles running, but well over 90 in total! Yesterday 8 miles at 740 pace. Signed up for the Chicago marathon today. (registration opened at 12p cst and the race will sell out fast so if...

    NIKE Thread

     I race in the FK racers for distances up to the half marathon (would probably use them for a full). - if you sized up a half to full size you should be fine (as is the normal practice for 'performance footwear') Otherwise your feet are probably swelling up. Also the racer is built to be ran...

    How many miles did you run today?

     In my experience, if you ask 5 runners (of any caliber) you will get 5 different answers. It isn't likely that you will bulk up, so if you have the patience and time go for it in the gym. 8 for me in san fran today, along w 9 miles of tourism walking. Tiring stuff. it was very irritating...

    How many miles did you run today?

    4 turn arounds. The purpose is to practice surging without any recovery, and as a result also stimulate the body to recover from going aerobic more quickly. 9.3 trail run with a headlamp last night. Spooky. 11.6 this am really easy.

    How many miles did you run today?

     CONGRATULATIONS MAN! That is awesome. Stoked to see you do something crazy like that. I basically took last week as a lost week of training. 9 miles thursday, 6 miles friday and 8 sunday for a whopping 25 miles. Feeling rested and ready to turn the training intensity dial back up.

    by the way I work at a running store where we stock the flyknits. We have a good size run of volt, white (color way 100), black and white and green. PM me if interested as we ship free and I can set something up.

    Good to see some more colors in the flyknit 1's, but the lunar sole generally sucks (in my opinion). Availability for the 1's will be WAY up from the trainers and racers as every nike running store will be getting them.

    How many miles did you run today?

    Probably right wingin it. I think the combination of a sub par diet, heavy training, school and work is wearing my immune system thin. Fortunately for the rest of my season I will have less focus on heavy volume and more focus on specific training. The diet aspect of my training is really...

    How many miles did you run today?

    12.5 yesterday with my worst race since boston. 10k in 3540 . . . . Felt truly awful as soon as I went through 5k. Split about 1708 for the first 5k and 1832 for the second 5k. Really blew up which sucks because I know I am in shape to run 3400 but it just wasn't my day. Going to focus my...

    7.5 Monday 11.5 tues w drills and strides 8last night. 8 tonight. 2 days of core this week so far. It's hard for me to get the ball rolling on anything but mileage. I have a 10k Sunday so I've dialed back the miles. And will take tomorrow off.

    856.97 + 76 on the nose (according to my log). I had a good 800's session tues and a good 5k tempo in the middle of a fairly long run today. The total is up to: 932.97. I think . . . .

    How many miles did you run today?

    15 today with a 5k tempo starting at about mile 8.5. 5k in 1728. 533 541 530ish finish. The late start to the tempo and the fatigue of higher mileage made it tough to put it out there during my tempo portion.
