Seniors' Miles for Week Ending 11/12/2017 (Read 17 times)

    Covered 24 miles on 5 runs—it was a challenging week with the first truly cold and windy days of the season. Getting ready mentally to go outside was harder than I expected it would be.

      Ran 41.0 miles this past week.  Ran a marathon as a "training run" as it was the inaugural running of this marathon and half marathon.  Was the slowest one I've ever run and it was cold at the start (28°F).  But it demonstrates the need to complete all the critical runs of a training plan.

      PR's--- 5K  24:11,   10K  49:40,   10-Mile  1:26:02,  HM  1:56:03,   Marathon  4:16:17

      Maniac #11112, Fanatic #14276, Double Agent #2335

            20.2 this past week

             

            My " A goal" was 25, my "B goal" was to exceed last week and that's the .2.

              Centex - Good luck with the half this weekend.

               

              gsaum - Any completed marathon is a success.  Congrats.

               

              Quickadder - A 10K PR!!  That's great.

               

              30.7 miles for me last week in 5 runs.  The longest was 11 miles on Sat in celebration of Vet day.  First run in pants since last winter on Friday.  More to come I'm sure.

                Cwschind, thanks. Yes, a 63 second PR on my 63rd birthday and approximate AG score of 63.

                 

                Talking of coincidences, both you and I had the same 30.7 mileage this week and both gsaun & KSA had 41.0. If only Nas could have managed another 3.8 miles and matched Brooklyn's 24 ....

                Started running at age 60.

                  Cwschind - Thanks. It will be my first race since turning 65. Unfortunately there are a lot of fast over 65 year olds in my area. Last year this age group needed a sub 1:48:00 to place 3rd at this race plus this is not an easy course.  My training has been going pretty good but at this point breaking 2 hours would be great to me after my last couple of years fighting injuries, etc.

                  This week I got in 40 miles - one 12 miler, four 6 milers and a 4 miler.
