Oh wow. I am so sorry dude. Can you defer?
No, no chance to defer. I guess that means that I'm DOOMED.
Ace - Good week. Starting to gear up for Botswana?
Brew - Option 4. Sub 85 or bust!

I am one for not using splits as pr's.
Looks like Brew is doing a half. Checkers, wreckers, right.

I was thinking "Chickens or Wings" for 2020.
keen Sub 85 isn't good enough unless you're 40 boomer. It's like 1:23 for TCS entry. Oh and since you haven't said Boston you're DEFINATELY doomed.
Many of us aren't sure what the hell point you are trying to make and no matter how we guess, it always seems to be something else. Which usually means a person is doing it on purpose.

Brew, congrats, that's a great run and absolutely baller splits.

Thanks. I wish I could take credit for it. I guess my ability to lock into a pace is pretty good when I don't have to think about it. As long as I continue to sandbag my performance I'll look like I know what I'm doing.
rovatti so did you ever look into that heart/effort training anymore?
I assume you mean HeartRateVariability-based training? No. I think it's an intriguing idea, but I've never been much of a data guy.
My new thing is trying to stave off "calf heart attacks" which have been bedeviling me.
For those interested, race tracking is here, or via RTRT.me app. Bib 2922
Sunday can't get here fast enough.
Race tracking? Can't you just upload a link to the live feed, or the YouTube summary? I'd like to fast forward the commercials and boring parts I've seen before.
Good luck man. I have a feeling you'll beat me by at least a minute and probably closer to 2:56 shape giving the race weather and your training. Checkers or wreckers buddy.
Good luck, Keen!
I am sick as a dog and going to miss my yearly goal (1,800 miles). But on the plus side, I just ordered a pair of Next% for next year's races. PR TRAIN COMIN' THROUGH CHOO CHOOOOOOOOO
Go get 'em KEEN!
A big investment for a 5k.
Good luck, Keen! I am sick as a dog and going to miss my yearly goal (1,800 miles). But on the plus side, I just ordered a pair of Next% for next year's races. PR TRAIN COMIN' THROUGH CHOO CHOOOOOOOOO
Have a great race Keen. You have certainly put in the work.
Good luck, Commander.

I'm very late, but good luck CK!
Everyone's gotta running blog; I'm the only one with a POOL-RUNNING blog.
And...if you want a running Instagram where all the pictures are of cats, I've got you covered.
He has crossed the starting line. Probably too fast too.
