Runner with a riding problem.
Go figure
Good morning Pleasant! Great day for a ride - glad you got to enjoy some good miles.
I knocked out a big 2 miles last night Legs are going to be fresh and rested for this race! I'm thinking I may go for 3 this evening, just to push the envelope a little haha.
Hope everyone has a good day of training.
Trying to find some more hay to restock the barn
Ran 10.5 humid miles with
3 x (800-600-400-200 @10K->5K /R:1min) 3-5 min between sets.
My legs are heavy and rubbery. Not specifically from this workout, but from the cumulative training. Maybe a RD tomorrow?
Morning. I have Pilates and 5 miles.

Hola el guapos! 2600 yard swim done before work. That used to be a long swim. Now it's a short one. Bike workout later...indoors vs outdoors depends on the rain probability. Pedaling into a headwind sure does suck for speed but it makes hitting my power targets a hell of a lot easier (pedaling into a headwind means using more power, and more power means your wattage output is higher).

Our littlest guy is sick with a fever and was up in the night. DW is taking him to the doc this am while I hang out with our oldest Son. No need to expose another kid to the illnesses going around the doctors office. Managed to get 4mi done while everyone was sleeping this am. 8:47avg. Rain was coming down intermittently and felt really nice.
PRs:----- 5k: 17:48 (2019) 5M: 29:36 (2020) HM: 1:24:37 (2017) Scheduled: ???
Sorry to hear about your littlest guy being sick, Jay. It sure is no fun when they aren't doing well.
I ran 6 miles this morning with 4 strides at the end. I actually got up early yesterday and today for running. #likeaboss
Well, nobody showed up for the group run last night, so I went home. The plan has Monday's as either rest or recovery run, so I just took the rest day, I was tired anyway.
Today was a run commute day. The plan this morning had a fartlek workout: warm up, 15x 1:00 at "slightly faster than 5k effort" with 1:00 recoveries, then cool down. It's hard to get up to speed, check your pace, make adjustments, etc all within 1 minute. My first 3 were slow because I was trying to do too many things at once (3rd one looks even slower because I was on a bridge that interferes with the GPS, but the right effort was there). After that, I just ran them based on effort and didn't look at the watch, and I had much better results. The remaining reps were all in the zone and maybe even a little too fast. The workout felt good and now I'm starving, time to go search out some breakfast.

For 1 minute reps, that's the best way to go, IMO.
I ran 7 in the rain, my third consecutive such run. It's like I'm a rain magnet lately or something. 💦☔
It's been hard to get up in the morning lately. I'm hoping once I'm following an official marathon plan next week that gives me the push I need. I still got out there for 5.2 miles today. It was humid but not as hot or sunny...yet.
I miss running in the rain! We only get a few days of it like Oct-Feb here so I have to wait quite awhile yet.
I ran 7 with 8x400m repeats at 1:40-1:43 with a 200m “float” recovery, which I didn’t even know what that was until onemile mentioned it a few weeks ago. Hit my paces on the 400s, goal on the recovery was 7:45 but I was more around 8-8:10. I actually kind of like the float recovery. It’s a nicer transition than slowing down to snails pace and then speeding back up like I normally do
i got a ninja blender from my bridal shower so I’m all about the recovery breakfast smoothies now.
I prefer the standard shuffle recovery!
