Good to see you doing one! What’s your qualifying time for New York and will you sign up if you qualify?

123 half or like a 255 full. I was hoping to get in so I never have to do another. :/
I only want to do one and I wanted New York to be it.

Yeah, I thought that was super cool. The kick in the balls is, I will most likely top ten that race baring a meltdown but might not top 3 my age group.

I’m slow so I wouldn’t know the answer to this question. What’s a qualifying time for NYC?

I looked at last years results, they are crazy
Top 12 all finished at 6:20 pace or faster, and that’s a tough course.
I could have definitely finished top 3 in my age group though....

NY qualifying times are quite tough (sub 3:00 for men under 45) LINK.
It is a great races if you can get in. I ran it twice in the 2000's. They really do a fantastic job with the whole event.
It was easy to qualify since I lived in NYC and was a member of the NY running club. So all I had to do was work some races and run some local races.
I get very frustrated by lottery entries.
It took me 4 years to get into Berlin, and I've tried 5 times for London with no luck. Now that I'm moving away from Europe I've lost my realistic chance for London.
But I'm moving to Asia so I will try for Hong Kong and Tokyo.

My exact thoughts. Just got lucky on my second time entering.

I would like some advice on how to keep my legs feeling fresh for a 10 K next weekend. It’s been 4 years since I’ve run any sort of race. Based off my recent runs I’m hoping to break 50 minutes for the first time. Should I continue running over the next week like I have been or should a scale back and rest my legs going into Saturday?
Posted on 3/1/19 at 1:59 pm to gsadle5
Depends on your volume you've been doing. But you can keep running but just scale back the intensity and possibly the distance. Scaling back/tapering typically only works if you've been building over a period. But if you're somebody who runs every other day same pace, same distance. Just keep running. Just my opinion.
Posted on 3/1/19 at 2:18 pm to Cdawg
I usually run 4 days a week and log 20-25 miles/week trying to make sure at least one day is at least an hour or more.
Thanks for the advice.

But if you're somebody who runs every other day same pace, same distance. Just keep running. Just my opinion.
How old are you Cdawg?
Posted on 3/1/19 at 2:50 pm to Spirit of Dunson
Same here, I tend to keep the weekly mileage about the same (25-30), but definitely take the day off before a race. It's what works for me.
Posted on 3/1/19 at 3:00 pm to Spirit of Dunson
I’m not as fast as most of the guys on here either but I have been running my best times over the last month. My best 10 K time is 51:20 but I knocked out 5 miles today in 37:30 and felt I could’ve kept the pace for the remainder of a 10 K.
I’m thinking I’ll run Monday and Wednesday next week and skip my Friday run. Hopefully that’ll do it. I appreciate all the input.

The outside of my hip has been bothering me lately. If my quick google research is accurate, sounds like I have a hip bursitis, which appears common in runners.... Anyone deal with this before? Just stretch, and give it time? I'm trying to increase my mileage over the next month or 2 for the CCC, so I'd prefer not to take any time off.
Posted on 3/1/19 at 3:01 pm to Spirit of Dunson
Yeah, I think just decrease the intensity but I'd keep going. I'm not saying go out and hit it hard a day or two before trying to set a PR.
I'm about to be beyond the mid 40's.

Not getting in a 5-6 mile run in the three or four days leading up to a race most certainly will not hurt you. But getting that run in may leave your legs feeling tired and sluggish. Reward of running does not outweigh the risk.

Well frick yeah!!!
To be honest, I've never run a marathon just to see how fast I could run one and I've aged more in the last 5 years than the previous 15 and smarts? I'm smart enough to realize I'm not the smartest person in the room.
