How many miles did you run today?

[FlyingMonkey]

About 200m today before I pulled something in my groin. I guess I won't be racing on Saturday.

More importantly, this shows the importance of listening to your own instincts and not necessarily doing what a coach tells you. There's no way, with my goals, age and condition, I should have been trying to run 200m sprint intervals. It's unecessary and likely to result in injury (as indeed it did). I've been running hard 800-1600m intervals last month but sprinting is an entirely different thing. I don't need to do it. I shouldn't do it.

brp, dat's gorgeous. I am envious.

It's amazing right now. Of course it'll all go brown once things dry out as summer gets into swing, but I'll enjoy it while it lasts.

Also, 3.5 miles tonight with the toddler in the jogging stroller. But it was an ice cream run, so that negated whatever good the run did.

That's a bummer, Monkey.

6.5 miles, again through Glen Canyon and over the hill, but this time in reverse, and I added going up and over Bernal hill. It was an ass-beating.

 

[hirschlederne]

5 km @ 4:28 which brought my 5k time down to 22:15.

Zero again today. But at least I'm no longer walking like Val Kilmer after the pantomime cow scene in Top Secret...

 

[Fueco]

4 miles with two miles at 10k race pace.

 

[hirschlederne]

8,6 km in 45:33. Super fast 1st km (4:10) but slower afterwards. New PR on a 2,5 km dirt segment.

I usually work in new money. 12k today in an hour. Building mileage after long term injury.

Just read it as .1X to convert to miles...

Seriously. Read the title, people!




Just kidding.

US Americans World.

 

[hirschlederne]

5.1 km in 28:54. Mostly on dirt. Slow pace.

8.7 miles on the trails. Same trail run as last weekend, but worlds apart. 50s and overcast, verging on cold with the wind. And again, just like last week, I bumped into some friends who were biking on the trail.
