re: Official Running Log/Marathon Training Thread

Not marathon training but this seems like the place to discuss my progress.
I am training for a backcountry Colorado elk hunt. 10,000'+ elevation, 5-7 mile backpack into the country. Damn near impossible to train for due to the drastic difference in oxygen levels from there to Mandeville
I am 6'- 6'1" and hit sub 200 for the first time in many years this morning. I had previously been settling around 205 for my goal weight but this season I am trying to get down to 190.
For the last few weeks (during teleworking) I had been running 2.5 - 4 miles most days at 11:00 then hitting the gym at 3:30 after work. I was back at work this week so I had to switch it up and do the gym at 11:00 and I didn't really get to run during the week. I also mix in some sprint, job, walk, interval runs every so often which I think has helped a ton.
Yesterday and today have been my best runs in a long time! Feeling great. I really think taking the 4 days off of running helped me recover and drop my time significantly.

Heat is supposed to be an okay proxy for altitude, so you picked a good time of year to start
In my limited experience exercising at that altitude, it does seem to be a similar type of suck as long as you can tolerate it otherwise (i.e., you don’t get altitude sickness)

There’s a couple runners around here that stay on the street even though there’s quality sidewalks 5 feet to their left.
There aren’t sidewalks where I run currently, but there were years ago on my routes in Baton Rouge. I always took the street over the sidewalk. The sidewalk tore me up, and it was generally torn up itself from roots and never maintained.
