re: Official Running Log/Marathon Training Thread

I’ll be in wave 4 in the blue corral with all the old, slow people like me. Taking the ferry at 7am.

You never know, you could pass me. I'll be rocking some form of LSU gear and taking my time. I may never get to run it again so I'm going to take it slow and enjoy it.

I had LSU gear on when I ran it in 2017. Got quite a few geaux tigers along the way. Might do it again this year but haven’t decided. It is a cool race. Hope we have great weather.

I live on the route. If I see you, I’ll yell a big suck that tiger dick at you

I ran NYC in 2011. It was the day after the Game of the Century. That was an early wake up call after staying up half the night being pumped up about LSU's (last) win over Bama. And I probably walked 10 miles that day.

Suffice it to say, it was not my best marathon. Ran it in 4:03:58 when I was shooting for sub-3:30. I cramped at mile 16 and couldn't shake it. Lots of shuffling over those last 10 miles.

if you're looking for a cheaper replacement. one of my squads runs with this and just does as fine as more expensive ones.

Thanks. I was actually looking at the FR35, I used to had a 250. It looks like the 35 has all of the running features of the vivoactive without some of the unnecessary bells and whistles for half the price.

INEOS159 tomorrow. Y’all think he’ll get it done? Also, based on pictures of Kipchoge’s shoes, next gen Next% may feature air pockets in the forefoot.

Good luck to all the marathon and other racers this weekend!
Met with my general orthopedic earlier this week about my left leg weakness. At first he though it might be a hip issue, not the back. I know several (former) runners my age who've undergone hip replacements recently, so as soon as he was out of the room I was googling "running after hip replacement surgery." LOL. But then the xrays came back clear for the hip, so next week I have a lumbar MRI. Joy.
Got in a 5.5 mile run, a 4 mile brisk walk and an 11 mile cycle this week. Tomorrow marks our first cool day of fall, so I plan to run 6.

I respect that for sure. I prefer New York as a destination over Boston which is the reason I want to race it more. New York is one of my favorite places so for me, it’s NYC.

So what’s the next race the fastest poster on the board by results doing? Pretty sure your 55min ten miler is still the most impressive time posted. Maybe Pedro’s mid 16 5k but I’ll stand by it.

I’m very sorry to hear that. I’ll admit that the 10 percent rule that I preach is mostly garbage especially if you’re already running but there is some credence to easing into training. Get better and hope to see you get back out there soon.
