Yep. Run it every year. I grew up there. Fun to run through my old neighborhood.

First Vo2 max workout of the block done. 3 miles warm up then 6x1km, averaged about 3:57/km or 6:20/mi. 9 miles total for the day.

That's about what I can do on average. Every now and then I can get a 6 even.

3rd in my age group. Beat by the same two freaks that I always get beat by. Could have shaved a little more off my time, but paced the first mile or so with a kid from work. Love this race as I grew up there and every turn on the course is a childhood friend’s house.

PR’d in the St. Jude 10K in Memphis over the weekend in the middle of base building (8:29/mile). Going to continue building for the next month or two and then attempt Pfitz’s 12/47 plan.

12 miles done, 43 total for the week. This upcoming week is pretty gnarly.

Pfitz’s 12/47 plan.


I'm on week 7 of this now. It ain't easy but it gets you in shape. I'll say that I feel like it's a little higher intensity than you'd think. There aren't many true "easy" days where you just run easy for X miles and that's it. Each day has some kind of stimulus baked in. Even on the easy days you're doing like 6x100m hill sprints during your run.

How many miles/week were you running before you started? I'd built up to 28 miles/week prior to the 10k. My plan was to do a 30 mile week this week and keep building from there, but my shins were barking. May take a few days off and have an easier week to recover some from the hard effort.

To get the full 12 weeks prior to my next race in I'd need to start the plan by the second week of February. So I'd basically have the rest of December and all of January to keep building.

I grew up there too and ran it on Saturday. It's well done. The guy that won it was an insane time.

I built up to around 33mpw before I started the 12/47. It was 1 tempo day, 1 long run day, and the rest were easy runs. I took 1 down week before starting the 12/47 plan so I would come in fresh. I highly recommend getting into the 30-35 range doing mostly easy days before starting the block. The very first week has a tempo workout and a 10 mile long run so you're kind of thrown into the fire right away.

16 miles @10.50 pace
Ran in light drizzle for a good portion of it. This weather and deer season definitely cuts into my mileage.
Still pushing to run a marathon in late January

I got beat by a 61 yr old. Goals.

7 easy miles today at HR 140.


Just training runs until Dec 21st. Have a 5k that will probably be just a training run.

If you ever run Peavine Aubie is the guy that goes all out with his outfit with the American Flag gear he's wearing. Kinda a local legend for that race

On topic, good job everyone on your races Saturday! Sounds like everyone did great... I start running again today, what a day to start back, raining all day :barf:

P.S: Aubie I just saw your podium picture, I can't believe Cary lost, that's insane! lol 61 year old must have been booking it
