re: Official Running Log/Marathon Training Thread

TA, I don’t see why you couldn’t run three days a week while cross training to finish a marathon if your goal is just to finish.

If your goal is to be competitive with that little volume, your long runs better be long, and your other two runs better be fast. Not I’m gonna pick up the pace a little fast, but oh my god this 9 mile tempo run might kill me fast. And this interval workout might make my legs fall off fast. By long run I’m talking nothing under 14 for the whole plan.

Anyhow @ HB you aren’t alone. 3 mile warmup, 10x1k around 5:24 pace with 1:30 jog in between. Had a 4x4 to finish and it wasn’t going to happen. 10 seconds off per interval at least; finished with 14.2 in 1:35.

It’s like 80 out with 90 percent humidity and the air quality is garbage. Whomever the frick was burning their fireplace this morning can get a high hard one. Felt like I smoked 2 packs this morning.

Also, grown assed man on a bmx thought he was going to take some laps the wrong way around the track this morning. The wretched turd was pissy I was on the track using the track to do track things… The methheads are becoming a more noticeable problem in North West Arkansas.
