Gulf coast half or 10 miler in October is a good one. It falls on a long run day where I am supposed to run at least 13 miles at MRP. I have not heard if Goldenfliers is officially done or not. Since it did not happen in 2025 after returning in 2024, I'm guessing probably not.
I ran once last week since the race. Back to just maintaining till the Q50 10 miler on August 15.

5m 11:30 pace average hr 130.
It was nice to just run and not have any plan or goal or agenda. Just me the birds squirrels and a podcast.

Made the mistake of signing up for Yowana’s shoe nerd app, Supwell. Made some trades and got some new stuff coming in - Superblast 3, Megablast, and Salomon Aeroglide 4 Grvl. Tempted to pull the trigger on some Dynafish too. Lord help me when my wife finds out.

5x800 (3200m effort) and 3x400 (1600 effort) this morning almost broke me.
I heat adjusted the pace / effort and was totally gassed after the 4th 800 but felt good to finish.

I'm back boys. I don't know why I picked August to start running again but it will feel nice when that coolness starts hitting.

Did my normal 2-mile run but set a new PR with a pace of 9’46”
Still in love with my Vomero 18s, they’ve solved my shin splint issues

Got some on clearance, they're in a box for wherever my speed 4s are done. Totally different shoe I know, but it'll be fine for winter running.
3.5 today at 9:29 per and average HR 163. It's too hot.

Ran the Q50 Bleau Moon 10 miler last night. At race start time 7:45PM the heat index was still over a 100. Pace was slow but I beat my previous 3 times. So I’m happy with that part.

Okay all you Norwegian Singles folk…tell me about it. When did you start? How is it going? What is your schedule and weekly mileage? Do you go by pace, heart rate, or actual lactate test?
I am halfway through the book, I am very intrigued. Might give this a go next year.

It works! It's all I've been doing since the first of the year. I'm sure you've seen a little bit on Strava, but I do 2 sub-threshold workouts a week, 3 easy runs, and 1 long run with a full rest day on Mondays. It takes some time to see the gains from it but you have so much consistency and volume from it that it surpasses plans that get you into these boom-and-bust cycles.
I knocked 17 seconds off my mile PR (kind of—dad and post-T1D diagnosis PR) tonight by spamming that schedule every single week. I ran the same race in 5:48 last year and dropped a 5:31 tonight.

Nice. I knew you were a NSM guy so was expecting your response. Based on Strava, looks like Walt might be giving it a go too?
I was on the fence about starting it now or later, but figured I don’t have any concrete race plans right now so I’ll just dive in. Created a 5 hour plan on subthreshold.net and pushed it to intervals.icu and onto my Garmin. 3x10 scheduled for Monday. Gonna try to talk my wife into a Peloton Tread so I can stay consistent

Good eye
I’ve been doing it the last 2 or so weeks and am liking it so far. I’m getting a good amount of quality work that’s not overly taxing, especially in this heat. Seems like anecdotally, just about everyone who tries it likes it. Curious to see how it helps!

Same. I haven’t seen anyone say they tried it and didn’t like it or saw minimal improvements. If I can make meaningful gains running 5 hours per week, I’m all in.

Run 1 minute walk 1 minute. Felt great. Haven't been running much.
Thinking of doing the outlast in Mandeville. Trying out run walk combos. Want to start slow and pick up if possible.

Long Run Day, had some fun with the first 7

This past weekend was a big milestone for me when I went 17k in just under 1:50:00. The reason it was a big deal is I was training for my first half marathon last year around this time and got IT Band issues when I ran 16k on successive weekends.
After a couple of months of rest and almost a year of exercises to treat the IT Band issue, I’m feeling good about this year’s half marathon. My goal is to finish in under 2 hours - my Garmin already says I can do it! HA! I’m just hoping all the training in the heat will pay off.

Those IT band injuries are tough, glad you are on the up and up. With 1 kids and 1 on the way, I picked up a treadmill and have been getting between 50-70 minutes zone 2 every morning. Ill put Incline at about 10, speed around 3.2-3.4, make sure HR stays <128. I noticed on my trail run yesterday, my pace is a tad faster, but hr is about 10-15bpm lower on average so there may be something to this. Or it could be it wasn't 100 degrees yesterday morning, who knows.

Went for a few runs with my daughter this week while we were in Boston and she asked if she could see the marathon finish line.
I told her the only way to get there was to take a "Right on Hereford. Left on Boylston St."
We may never cross the finish line togther but at least we got to run over it together.
