re: Official Running Log/Marathon Training Thread

29 miles this week. 20 miler scheduled for this weekend. Looks like I’ll be moving it to Saturday instead of the planned Sunday. It’ll technically be a 49 mile week!

Just being honest y’all - I’m getting burned out. The runs are going really well and I feel great after the first mile or two and then feel awesome when I’m finished. But I’ve been dreading lacing up the shoes. Any tips on fighting that funk two weeks before a full marathon?

I listened to a podcast recently were the guest was talking about MAF and the benefits (I think it was a Dr. or exercise science Ph.D.)

It did make sense. I always just go by feel

Morning everyone! Happy Thanksgiving!

I needed to return a redbox movie last night and asked my mother in law if she needed anything from WalMart. She gave me a decent list of stuff to get and I got so focused on getting that right that I forgot the movie. Decided to run it back in this morning. I’m amazed at how many people are actually shopping at WalMart in a tiny Texas town of less than 2000 on Thanksgiving Day.

Turned in to pretty decent 10k. Was a bit over 50 minutes and I walked a section or two but made some room for bad food decisions later today.

Stay safe.

Good job man, those are some pretty quick miles

Well guys my 12k race today turned into 8.78 miles. The 2nd turn around sign I guess blew of the trail and down into the valley. So I ran an extra 1.33 miles today! Lucky I wasn't the only one, the little pack I was with doing same pace did the same.

Lucky the trail dead ended and you merged with the 5k group, or who knows how far I would have kept going. I knew something felt off. I felt like Jean Paul Jean Paul hahah.

First mile or so was jammed packed as the trail was only about 8 feet wide, outside of that was a nice course.

Good thing is I maintained an 8.06 mile pace, so I'm guessing I would have done the actual 12k in 57-58 minutes? I'm not sure they can adjust actually adjust my time based on distance or not, but I let them know and she said others told her the same thing.

Oh well, best I have ever run for that long of distance and took in the sights. Now time to grub. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Everybody crushing today and Happy Thanksgiving to y’all. I’m thankful for this thread and comraderie to keep me plugging away. I’ll be putting in miles walking around the French Quarter and Superdome this afternoon!

Red Rock?

Awesome.

Any Black Friday or cyber Monday deals to look at??

Sounds like everybody’s living their best life today. I ran the turkey trot from my local running store - 6.5 miles of track, hills, road, and trails on a makeshift course for a good cause. Runners donate food/money for the entry fee and donations go to the local food bank. I put in 1.75 miles each way, then got back and absolutely crushed Thanksgiving. Pretty good day. About to watch this shite show of an Egg Bowk. Happy Turkey Day to all the crazy runners in this thread.
