Walk This Way...this way
bf, welcome to the infinite loop... Midway Thursday: LSD Day 67, 5PM HS Track, 24C, 22C dp, cool drizzle, MAF=138 10k huaraches 1:16:02 HR: 127 pace: 12'09"mpm Nice, easy 10k in the cool drizzle at MAF-11. My weight this morning was 65.1kg, or about 64 days until I hit my target of 59kg. Since today is Day 67 of my MAFing, that means I'm past the half way mark. Yay! - Ken

Thanks Ken.The infinite loop might be less confiningif one were to build sufficient speed,slingshot around Jupiter, and journeyto distant galaxies..Now where can I get a good rocket booster?
Congrats on your 67 day milestone!bf

Aye.
I guess if you did the slingshot close enough to a heavy body, you could warp space-time in order to travel backwards in time...
Alternatively, you could choose to jog @MAF, which in a relative sense, is jogging backwards.
Chafing Friday: Easy Day 68, 5AM HS Track, 24C, 23C dp, wet track, MAF=138
7k barefoot 0:52:07 HR: 121 pace: 11'53"mpm
Was planning to do huaraches this morning, but had some chafing on my right heel.
What to do? Go bare, of course!
Felt good at 5k, so tried to do 10k, but km 6 and 7 came too slowly, so I called it a day.
At a whopping MAF-17, my take is, leg muscles are still fatigued from the jog less than 12 hours previous. The low HR indicates that the cardiovascular system was fine, especially at these temperatures.
The interesting thing is, I had a record efficiency rating of 1.60 today, so nothing lost from going slower.

Longest block of running since I started back.
Ran the whole way after the first 14:00 of walking in a zone of 108-120 bpm.
Didn't have to walk to stay in the zone.
Have a great weekend!

Good job staying within the very low zones, certainly at 81F!

I'm finally feeling like I'm making some gains again since my bout with MTSS at the end February, begiining of March.
The pain that hurts the worse is the imagined pain. One of the most difficult arts of racing is learning to ignore the imagined pain and just live with the present pain (which is always bearable.) - Jeff

Hot-As-Hell Saturday: Not-So-Easy Day 69, 10AM HS Track, 31C, 23C dp, hot, MAF=138
5k huaraches 0:38:21 HR: 134 pace: 12'16"mpm
Had a Quarter Pounder last night after a 30min swim, so I wanted to test whether the beef (iron?) would give me extra energy today.
My initial km 1 of 7'01"kpm (11'13"mpm) indicated that it didn't hurt, but 31C=87.8F was just too much to handle.
I steadily slowed down as my body couldn't dissipate the heat and I ended the 5k at 8'06"kpm (12'57"mpm). The sun peeked in and out of the clouds.
I lost 1.6l=0.42gallons of sweat in a little over half an hour; usually, it takes me a 10k to lose this much fluid.
Looks like sleeping in on a Saturday morning wasn't such a good idea...

Beautiful morning! Ran down in the canyon and back with my wife the first 7 1/2 miles, then added a 4 mile loop by myself. 78 degrees, 46% humidity, DP 56 and SSW wind at 15 mph when I finished.
Ended up letting my HR get too high, got warm quick and I have been taking antihistamines so that for sure didn't help. Skipped my normal run on Thursday dealing with allergys.
Good run, nice to have someone to run with for a change. I'll be on vacation the next week so i'll try to get in some running, but I left the chest strap at home so no worrying about my heart rate for a full week! I'll try to be good and run a slow pace though.

Sunday 24 June 2012Mid-eighties temps and a dew point of 71 call for a walk/run undertaking.2.01 miles required 29:15, but considering an 113 bpm average, "all is good"...And, once again, school-bus-monitor type taunting, is given the slip.bf
Tuesday 26 June 2012Mr. Goodrunner shows up today! Give a huge assist to Ms. Goodweather.Had a nice low heart rate run/walk of some 3.35 miles (3:1 ratio). Thiswas sandwiched between 1.40 miles each of warm up/cool down.She'll furiously rekindle tomorrow:Wednesday:Mostly sunny. Highs around 100. South winds around 15 mph with gusts
to around 25 mph. Highest heat index readings around 108 in the afternoon.bf
5:55am - warm, 86% humidity (HH)
5.2 miles at 120bmp
Nice morning run however could feel the humidity. This weekend is scheduled to be HH and will make for an interesting LR.
Consistently Slow
Run until the trail runs out.

4.12 miles, 10:52 avg pace, 144 avg HR.
Back home from my vacation. I got in 12 easy miles while on vacation with the longest run being a whopping 3 miles, but this is the first time to put on the chest strap in a week. Got up late, so just a 4 miler this morning.
Beautiful morning, 70 degrees, 72% humidity, DP 61, South wind 12 mph. Ran with my wife and she isn't into the LHR stuff, so I ended up going a little faster than I wanted but not too bad. Good run, hopefully the last week won't set me back too much.
6am, 5.2 miles, 121ave, rolling terrain, good HR control. No complaints.
Recovery run after my 10 mile race yesterday.
4.14 miles, 11:11 pace, 132 avg HR.
Beautiful morning! 69 degrees, 68% humidity, DP 58, South wind at 9 mph. Felt very easy and HR ended up below target at a 132 avg. Pace not bad for a recovery run at 11:11 per mile. Nice run.
2.07 miles, 11:13 pace, 140 avg HR.
Quick run in my Vibrams right in the heat of the day. Sunny and HOT! 94 degrees, 23% humidity and wind 16 mph out of the south. GPS messed up at the start, but I got the map edited - looks like it ended up an 11:13 pace, quite a bit faster than I thought.
