re: Official Running Log/Marathon Training Thread

Peachtree Road Race "The World's Largest 10k" this morning. Slow AF. I ran ok for 5k (around 23 minutes), then went into ultramarathon mode run/walk. Ended up finishing in 52 minutes.

Swiftwick socks for all my road races

I've been chugging along with 40+ mile weeks, it's just not interesting enough to post since it's all threshold stuff

I'm about to get a pair of Superblast 3 because my 2's have seen better days. I've got almost 500 miles on them and only use them for long runs

I am sure you've seen reviews, a lot of people who loved the SB2 have not loved the SB3. Megablast may be more in your wheelhouse as I think it is a little firmer. Or the Dynafish - did you ever order? I joined the Supwell App, it's honestly way better than I thought. $5 a month and the shoe marketplace is loaded with hype shoes for cheap. Worth checking out.

My personal running stinks lately for the most part. I did get to hike around the Banff area for a couple days and will crew/pace at cascade crest 100 tomorrow. Only race in the cards for me is the local Bozeman Bridger Ridge run August 16th. Mostly hopping to not fall down and manage to beat my SO to claim the household trophy. Race is trail run 19ish miles 6k gain 8k decent. Fun times

Nice! Saw those pics of Banff, my wife and I discuss visiting often but not sure our girls are ready for that sort of trip yet. I'm planning on doing the Armadillo Dash 13.1 again this year...doesn't hold a candle to trail races on the coasts. One day I'd love to do a trail race in CO or nearby. Nothing crazy though, half marathon is about all I have time to train for these days.

I’ve cut back on my mileage a bit this summer. Last 2 months were mostly focused on shorter sprint stuff (100m-400m), which was fun and a nice change up. Also been incorporating more strength training to be a little more well-rounded.

Hoping for good weather for Cajun Cup 10k in November (been very hot the last 2-3 years). Would love to get as close as I can to 36:00 in the 10k. Current PR is 37:18 in shite weather. Gonna run Houston Marathon again in January to try and snag a 2:49:59 or better…

Noticed you've been taking it easier! I tried to do the same - basically easy runs for all of May and June while I worked on form/increasing cadence. Diving back into workouts now though. I don't do a ton of strength work, try to get it in like twice a week - but I do notice it helps. Specifically core work. Knock on wood I've not had any major injuries or weird things flare up.You got Houston! Feel like that race is really hitting it's stride. Lots of elites starting to go since it's flat, fast, and usually cold. My wife's cousin is planning to run it for a BQ - he's usually a 5k/10k guy so this is his first full. I know he has a sub 75 minute HM, but not sure if he can hold pace the full 26.2.

Yeah apparently the SB3 doesn't feel anything at all like the SB2 (which I've loved) so I'm a little hesitant, but yowana seems to like it a lot. I'll probably give it a shot.

I never did order the Dynafish. I still want to, but I found some Evo SL on sale for like 40% off and it was hard to pass up!

Same here. Restarted my training plan working towards the Jockamo Northshore half in October. Then I’ll start training for the Louisiana Marathon in January.
