There's just a lot of opportunity in general due to Walmart, Tyson, Hunt, UofA, etc. Anybody that does a lot of business with those guys also has an office here. A lot to choose from, but the competition is fierce.
BMoney doesn't just run a lot in summer, he runs flipping fast in that crap too.

Gotcha. I was assuming Wal Mart and all the ancillaries that go along with it.
Yes he does. With a calm 145 HR.

If you see my Strava show a run with an average HR of 160, it means I was running hungover af.

Just wrapped them up. 7:29, 7:09, 7:05, 7:00, 7:07
Not bad 4 months to the day post stroke(s). Can't complain when I thought for a couple weeks there that I'd never walk correctly again [emo off]. Makes it seem like a sub 45 10K is pretty realistic at my current fitness. Pre stroke PR is 41:03 on 4/20/19.
In a sort of dream scenario for comparing HR gadgets, my chest strap didn't sync till literally half way into the workout. Analysis of HR doesn't show any real deviation or difference in wrist based/chest strap. At least not on this day.

Bitchin, dude. Seems like you could go out conservative 7:10-7:05 for about 4 and see what you got left for the last 2.2.
You’re still in pretty good shape; it doesn’t go away over night so I think sub 45 is a good goal.

Pretty much my thoughts.

Damn Roots
Fantastic to see you getting back into form
As for me, I’m still running a few times a week, mostly just my normal 5 mile loop with the kid.
I had to cancel on Polar POP for our 25k because we will be out of town on that weekend, so that has kinda derailed my attempts at getting serious.

You are doing great. I figured you would as soon as you got back out on the road.

Thanks Patrick, and thanks again for your behind the scenes advice/help.
Thanks Fellas!
It's a weird thing this running, I can't imagine myself not doing it. Whereas a few years ago, I couldn't imagine why the hell anyone would choose to do it willingly.

So....... cruise intervals are a type of tempo run? Would I be better served using that method than a standard tempo run? Perhaps alternate tempo runs and cruise intervals? What pacing do you use?
Posted on 2/1/20 at 4:59 am to Aubie Spr96
It’s a way to get a feel for your race pace so they’re faster than a tempo run. It’s all about dialing in and staying consistent while running very quickly. You’d usually only do them the week of a race.
Posted on 2/1/20 at 8:45 am to Aubie Spr96
You can do a similar workout the week prior to your race as Burt suggested. For a 5k it would be 3 x 1-mile at goal race pace with 1-minute jogging recoveries. For a 10k, you would do 6 repeaters at 10k pace. Generally, of you are able to complete those workouts without much trouble, you know your target pace is realistic.

What about for a 1/2 marathon? I’m putting in a long run today in prep for the Rock n’ Roll then was going to taper this week with a 6.2, 4.5 and 3.1 before next Sunday.
Posted on 2/1/20 at 9:47 am to DownSouthJukin
Something like
2 mile easy WU; 2 x 6 minutes @ 5k pace w/ 3 minute recoveries; 1 mile easy cool down would be good for you considering your weekly volume. At higher volumes, a different race specific workout would be better, but one like that one would probably be best for you as long as you have done some speed and tempo work during your training.

Much appreciated. I’ll try to incorporate that into my runs this week.

Oh, and I don’t think you need to taper that much with your training volume. I would keep your long runs at 6 miles. Tapering for a half is really only needed if you have been training at higher weekly volumes (30+ miles) with long runs of 10 miles or more. The trick is to keep your base fitness while maximizing your energy reserves, allowing some recovery, and staying sharp.
Posted on 2/1/20 at 10:02 am to LSU Patrick
I was aiming for 11.5 today, then taper down. My last half was 12/15, and the longest I’ve run since then was 10 on 1/19. Family stuff and holiday slacking put me about a week behind in training.
Posted on 2/1/20 at 10:26 am to DownSouthJukin
Okay. Then, I would taper but not too much. I’d go more 10, 8, 6 after your 11.5. That would get you fresh without losing endurance and aerobic fitness. You are really going to want those for this race, especially if you didn’t run many long runs over 10 miles during your build up.

Good deal. I appreciate it.
