Then yeah it's about training your body to perform for 3-4 hours of continuous aerobic exercise

This is a crucial concern. It’s hard to go from running an hour to three hours. I consider myself a fragile runner, and I work my time on my feet up slowly to address that. That being said, I don’t think I have ever run more than a couple hours at a time.

Mile repeats this morning…4 @6:10/mi with a warmup and cooldown. Cold and rainy. Shoes were sloshing big time

Negative, ghost rider. Currently all I’ve got is LA Marathon & Zydeco Marathon, running the half in both of those. When is Houston?

All good bro. You’re right, there’s at least one other who’s running that one

Sprint intervals this morning at the gym on the treadmill. 0.25 mi RI then 0.25 mi at 7:16/mi pace. It wasn't bad. I had a little stiffness in my left heel at first, but that dissipated pretty early on in the run.

I have a long, slow 9 tomorrow morning. If I have to run indoors tomorrow, I'll probably shorten that to 6 - 7, just because 9 on a treadmill is incredibly boring.

In West Virginia with my wife’s family for Christmas. Not a lot of training options. Ran up and down the hill next to the house for 30 minutes. Probably a 20-25 degree incline.

Merry Christmas, you masochistic assholes

13.1 in 1:56:52 today (8:55/mile pace).

I skipped two runs last week like a little Hard Candy Christmas Bitch.

The marathon is just a few weeks away!

Hope everyone had a good holiday

Easy 15.75 mi bike this morning. Average HR was 126. I spent a little more time in zone 3 than I wanted, though.

I've had covid for the past 8 days. Anyone have any experience with getting back into running afterwards?

I'm early 30s with no health issues, and I had a mild case. I still have a slight cough and some fatigue, but if that subsides I'm planning on going on a light jog on Friday. I had been training for the rocknroll half marathon in NOLA on February 6th and training was going well. I was a little over 1 week ahead in training using the Hal Higdon intermediate 2 template. My longest run, a couple of weeks ago, was 9 miles. My goal was 1:45 but will probably need to dial that back. My resting heart rate has stayed low 50s the whole time I've been sick, but I expect I've lost a lot of fitness in the past 1.5 weeks.
