re: Official Running Log/Marathon Training Thread

Early or short easy runs. I slept in this morning and will run at lunch. I know it's going to feel like 100+ so I bring water and keep it under an hour.

Ended up doing 5 with a few strides. It wasn't completely terrible. I pick a route that has quite a bit of shade to break up the death ball in the sky. Water was gone after mile 4 which kind of sucked. Also noticed my tan is on point right now, just in time for beach vacation next week.

Go get em Chip. I might be with you.

What type of white nonsense is it that you have to warn people in the gulf that they might actually enjoy being outside for a minute or two? Low humidity warning is the craziest shite I’ve ever seen.

This morning’s workout was all over the place.

5 miles easy this morning, kept it aerobic the whole time. Kind of feel like a dumbass that it took me 2 years to realize you don’t have to be a hero on every run haha

Here’s your damn upvote.

Hey y’all. I don’t post too often in this thread but lurk often.

For those of y’all who train for super long distance events like ultras, marathons, triathlons, etc. how much strength training are y’all incorporating with weights?

I find it difficult to incorporate everything I’d like to - running, cycling, and good non body weight strength work. Y’all always amaze me with the shite you post and are very welcoming so I figured this would be a good place to ask.

I usually run 5-6 days a week and do weight training 4 days a week. I try to do pushups/pullups/crunches throughout the day most days. It is difficult to keep all of it up consistently. I often have to prioritize.
