re: Official Running Log/Marathon Training Thread

Do any of y'all post on/read LetsRun? It's like this thread meets the OT with some of the poli board sprinkled in.

Got talked into a 5k next month btw. Time to get off my arse.

TRoots, that's a strong run. When's your next race?

9.5 progressive run. Got a long one tomorrow and I may cut it short. I’m pretty beat up and that trail race really fricked up my left knee from the fall.

I guess I’m gonna taper starting next week for the half in Springfield on the 29th then it’s reset time.

Starting January for 2-3 weeks, I’m going to bring it down to 4 days a week 3 30-45 minute runs and one 60-70 minute run. Looking to be refreshed for February.

This will be my first time in a year. So the first since I started back.

Back in the day we'd do something similar for a month after cross country and another month after track season with 2 days cross training and one day completely off per week.

I stay away from roads unless I’m in some particular neighborhoods. If you look at most of my runs you’ll see they’re dirt trails or concrete trails/sidewalks away from roads.

Temple has done a good job, for the size of town we are, investing in sidewalks and trail systems.

Gonna get 4 in here later

Excited for my 12 tomorrow

Listened to some David Goggins and Cameron Hanes on Joe Rogan last couple days...those dudes can motivate you to try some long stuff!

Excited to see both of those!

Sugar Land/Mo City area has the Snowdrop 55 leading up to New Year's. See how many miles you can run in 55 hours. I met a guy who had never as much as run a 5k and he signed up for it. I will just go ahead and say he's not a normal fellow. He ran 36 miles in a day. Next year came back and ran 136. This year shooting for 150.

3 easy miles this morning. First run since the marathon. Felt good until...

My neighbor’s American staffordshire terrier chased me off the street and into someone’s yard, snarling and barking about 1 foot off my arm. I really thought I was about to get mauled. The owner was right there and did nothing. Just said “no!” to the dog when it ran back.

I’m about to write a letter to put into their mailbox. Still debating calling animal control on Monday. The dog is always in their yard unleashed and almost always charges you when walking by. It has always turned around right as it got to the end of their yard so I assumed it was on a shock collar. Apparently not because it got to me today.
