    Decker Challenge 12/12

      Got a 5.77mi run in this morning in a pair of Crocs. After running in them at Cooper Lake thought I'd see how they'd work at home - they did fine. Less left foot big toe numbness than most of my running shoes - which are heavier and more expensive!

       

      Type Dist time total time Pace AHR MHR Notes
      Interval 1 Mi 12:57.35 40:48.50 12:58 107 111 hr=107 target, maf-5 some uphill
      Interval 1 Mi 12:27.51 53:16.01 12:28 107 111 hr=107 target, maf-5
      Interval 1 Mi 12:36.79 1:05:52.80 12:37 107 112 hr=107 target, maf-5

       

      After 2 mi warm up tried holding hr=107, old maf. Felt better than running at hr=112 and more sustainable. The route was hilly in spots which explains higher pace in first mi. 

       

      Will run tomorrow with hr=102 as target. Am thinking that using maf=112 might be to high, its 80% of my max hr. Am still testing... Friday is a rest day with Sat being long run. Am still thinking how I want to run on Sat. Might try continuous running with hr in 102-107 range, allowed to climb to 112 if hilly.

         Which type of crocs? I have an image of those big plastic ones, but I guess they make a lot of different types!

         

        I just did my first run in my brand new Nike free 5.0s.

        Kept it to 2 miles (around 135 HR avg) to get used to them, but they felt great, more natural for the type of running I;m trying to do (ie more Chi style) and felt  faster.

        Plan to use them for every third run (short only initially) to allow my feet to get used to them.

          Don't remember the style name, maybe Santa Cruz, but they are like canvas loafers with a couple of breathing eyelets in the arch area. Not the big open sandal like ones.



          Got my run in yesterday but had hrm problems throughout. not the best of runs tho. Felt hungry and tired, and distracted by the hrm. Tried to run by feel but still need hrm feedback so was pissed. Ran the same route as Wed but the data to see difference in pace at lower hr. But data is all screwed up.


          rest day today. Long run tomorrow. Shooting for 2 hrs with hr around 102. The last 2 hr run I did with hr=97 and as has been discussed is probably to low. Am still not sure if hr=112 is what I should use for maf. It felt like it was to high when I ran at it. Will hve to continue to experiment.

              Walked 6 miles ahr  117 max 130. I can walk a 15m mile nowadays.Not sure if that is a good thing. Will know tomorrow. Doing a 10k @ Peachtree City which is a easy course.It is  a  golf path with roads throw in. I have not run the  course in about 8 years. Wow, how time flies!

              Run until the trail runs out.

                Peachtree City 10k  tomorrow/ today will attempt to break 50:00 which I have not done in 5 years.TO prediction chart  is 51:17 using my H/M  time from October. Goal heart rate will be 170 instead of the 155 /51:17. My 10 miler heart rate avg was 169 in Sept. I think 170 is doable. It  is 1 am and the race in at  8:30 I probably should go to bed.

                Run until the trail runs out.

                   that's the name! Thanks for tickling the memory cells... They are comfortable everyday shoes for sure.

                   

                  Good luck on the Peachtree Ron! I didn't realize we were in the same neck of the woods last week. Might have tried to get a run in together if I could what with running the grandkids around. Maybe next time I'm in Suwanee.

                    Sounds good. Now I just need to run with jimmyb since I have reclaimed my vehicle from #1 son. XC 5k avg HR was 174/193 in Dec. Should be able to hold 170. The race pace was 8:46 so I will need speed up so on second thought  I will go for HR 165.

                      New MAF Test this morning.  Indoors on a treadmill.  1%  68F  MAF-5

                       

                      I didn't run all week due to work related issues/ stress.  Last run was 9miles on Sunday. 

                       

                      Decided to check current fitness.  Ran a test indoors on a treadmill @ MAF-5. 

                       

                      mile            pace(mm)        ave. HR    

                                          14:21                114        warm-up    (15minutes)

                      1                    12:55              127      first mile   (MAF-5)

                      2                    13:28               128

                      3                    14:08                128

                      4                    14:01              127

                                              cool-down

                       

                      Once home I realized I can not use the #s to compare to test results from last year.  My previous base building MAF test were done at age based MAF not sub-MAF.  Oh well, at least its a starting point.

                        I love my Garmin, but wonder if it might benefit from a calibration tune-up.
                        Those 10's, 11's and 12's on the screen seem so uncharacteristic.
                        Coincidentally, I've noticed a distracting chirping noise.
                        The chirps occur post warm-up, especially when ascending hills.
                        Is it possible that some lubrication might quiet it?
                        I'll run this by customer service. They are always so helpful!

                        Just another 'robic run for me yesterday.
                        A blissful saunter through downtown Omaha's Conagra campus served as a warm-up. Picking up the pace, I resisted the tangy, tinny tartness of flagpoles gracing the promenade.Though they beckoned wildly, I postponed the treat for a more temperate occasion.

                        I continue to adjust my diet, paying closer attention to mineral supplements. Sometimes, bizzare cravings have occured. Anemia? Vitamin D deficiency? Or, maybe just plain cerebral deficiency? I think I'll switch to a fortified cereable like Total® or something.

                          Its good to see you back. I guess you've finally recovered from celebrating the Huskers bowl victory. Good runs yesterday. I'm running by time now so 45 minutes at lunch and the other 15 later at home. Both had a nice walking warmup and cool down. 6.8 miles total and ahr of 133. Today was a different story. 1 hour 15 with an ahr of 137 and 7.8 miles. Had to slow quite a bit to keep my hour in the zone. I can tell I'm still recovering from the marathon.

                              These 11 and 12s that I'm seeing, while not totally aerobic (in the classic sense) have given me confidence as to what is possible. I like the way things are progressing.
