re: Official Running Log/Marathon Training Thread

I did not chicken out today and ran in the cold at Lakeshore (Birmingham):



1 Mile Repeats @sub-7

I wanted to see what sub-7 felt like... Not really a fan, so not expecting a sub-3 marathon by June. I think I might be able to pull off a sub-3:20 though

What do you guys think about treadmills and their conversion to road races? I know it's definitely easier but what is a good estimate for an equivalent treadmill 5k time to a 19:5x road 5k?

Just go by RPE on a treadmill unless you're certain it's calibrated well. Mine is possessed. I failed a few workouts that I knew I could do because I had completed them outside. Checked the speed manually and it was about 10% faster than the display was showing.

Two week hiatus over. Got some new Asics and Pegasus to break in this week. 5 miles then beer with the crew.

3.5 at 24 degrees. New head thing worked great, I learned 24 isn't cold enough to need that and the head band I was using for ears (also have a visor that the light is on). Otherwise a nice balance of heat exchange, not really sweaty or cold. Flurries here and there in the headlight. Can't wait to run Friday, I hope it's blizzard conditions. I'm not joking, it's surreal running in a blizzard in the dark.

I think the wind is the worst part when its cold. I will usually warm up pretty good but windy days are not fun

Anyone else simply not get cold when running? I'm always over dressed to start and a mile or two in, I'm taking off just about everything. Five or more miles and the gloves come off too.

Thin layers. I usually keep gloves on, but mine aren't thick. I'm definitely stripping when I get in the house but during the run I can keep it balanced. Head gets the sweatiest. I can't wear anything on my legs unless it's below 20.

I was frozen today before the start. Didn't heat up until end of Mile 2. This break really messed with my body. I'm in full tights, gloves, arm warmers and dri fit shirt.

5 miles at 7:50 with a little extra sprint down the end.

I slept a little late because no school and still missed the good stuff. Flurries at 6:15 as it just started here. Now we're 10 hours into it, it's beautiful. Traction does suck, it's a great way to slow your pace and stay in zone 2. I definitely don't wear my Speed's, I switch to some Vomero's I found on clearance.

get the foam roller out and start stretching. IT band pain is the worst

How many weekly miles do people usually do for marathon training
