lol glad I opted not to do the team competition this year after all - way behind on what I wanted to do bc of injury and no clue where I'll end up in the fall, virus situation or no. No pressure to commit to any sort of goal right now is nice.

I'm in the middle of a cutback week with a time trial planned for Sunday. 4+ miles in the midday heat, accidentally deleted the Garmin upload (why did I click the red button? I never click the red button!) so just threw a manual entry in there.

Happy Anniversary, Dave!

What distance? I just don't have it in me. I could probably run an all out 400 but anything longer just ain't happening. I'm amazed at the number of impressive trials that have been run this year.

I'm currently projected to go 240 miles over my pledged goal. The longer Chicago stays on, the higher that'll get, but it won't be by a ton. As it is, I see no point in upping my goal and subsequently my required minimum weekly mileage. Part of the reason I chose the number I did (2,500) is because I can run 48 miles per week without thinking about it. Once you start increasing your minimum, it becomes less of a game and more of a chore, despite the fact that you would otherwise run higher than it anyway. 

Yeah, this is the thing. I am going to increase, but not sure exactly to what. I’ve been doing around 70mpw, but no history on whether I can sustain that. Or want to. And of course you live with it the rest of the year. Maybe in a couple months I will start having a crazy work travel schedule. Not that I care that much about the game personally, but I don’t want to screw the team.

I'm trying to have the game match my training. I certainly am not making training decisions based on the game

Coach would be like wtf, lol

Because they're virtual races, duh 

 

In a normal year, are like half the people done before December because they already reached their goal so miles don't count?

I think not going green after you've reached your goal is something new. But yes, "sandbagging" is as old as the game itself. It's something I never gave two Fs about but it literally consumes some people.
