3 miles zone 2. 4 miles threshold. Beers and wings. Good times. Good times.

Dude that’s a damn good tempo in those middle miles. Consistent

Hey we almost ran the same workout this week!
Strava is dumb and doesn't show when I manually split on my watch for the actual splits

Here recently I have looked at the data on Strava less and less. It's not a bad tool for keeping me accountable but from a "how am I really doing" standpoint it has a lot of shortcomings
If you notice Pedro and I post our workouts from Garmin, I do that because especially on workouts - the information helps me out waaay more than Strava.
P.S: Strava is the reason I've been so consistent in my running, their segments make running a game and the accountability is incredible. Garmin just does the "how your body is responding to your current training," they also do "intervals" if you push the action button.
ETA: yeah Pedro, I was shocked how close they were once I finished. I'm thinking my ultimate rhythm cadence will be right around that pace... should be great for me next year once I begin that push for a BQ (7:15 pace gives me a BQ with no buffer, and for clarity, that 7:15 pace felt a lot like my 8:00 pace 5 months ago, I don't expect to keep getting better this fast going forward, but it's exciting seeing these results)

Yes I use strava solely for the social/accountability piece. A lot of my college kids I coached were good when I first started running again about getting on me if I took off. 
And I would definitely think you’d keep seeing some good improvements while you’re going. Wouldn’t be surprised if the 7:15 feeling produced 6:45’s-6:50’s next year.
Also just to make sure you know (I’m sure you do but given how close I was to the cutoff this year I’d rather be safe) definitely make sure you’re training to give yourself a 6ish minute window if they don’t adjust down the BQs by then. I figured I was easily in after grandmas and ended up only giving myself like a minuteish cushion.

Not a donut for sure.

While not as impressive as Donut's 3 mile PR, I ran a 12:48 2 mile at the St. Patrick's Day race. Still pretty far off from my lifetime PR but the fastest I've run since college. Went out at 6:30 and negative split it. A few more months of consistent training and I should be getting back into the groove of things

Who all is running Crescent City Classic this year? I’m excited as this will be my first time running it. Hope to see some of you baws out there

I’ll be out there. Signed up with the LA Running Co team and have several friends running. Not sure I’ll be able to hang long after between kids and work though.

This weekend I took a break from "speed running" and went to a Spartan Trifecta Weekend in Atlanta.
25.37 miles, 7,231ft of elevation gain, and 50 Obstacles completed.
Got to run the Sprint with my wife, my 5 year old son ran the Kid's Spartan Race, got my trifecta medallion and this picture:

Just got over 8 miles with hills this morning. I don't care what Strava says, 40 degrees in high humidity is NOT a great feeling

yesterdays workout was a beaut
10 miles
1 mile warmup
Goal was to do a 8 mile pure progression but i screwed that up a bit
1 mile cool down
all continuous
6:42
6:03
5:56
5:47
5:37
6:02
5:59
5:51
5:35
6:56
got a bit eager too early and screwed up the progression but i guess it worked out to be a two phase progression
5:51 average for the workout portion (46:50 8 mile)
6:03 average for the total ten (1:00:32)
Was really just hopeful to have the last 4 under 6 so having 6 miles total under 6 and not feeling awful after was nice.

you're within what, ~3% of your time progressions so it's not like you're too far off. If you feel good, get it while you can.
