18 on trails this morning, right at 13min/mile with an average HR of 145. I might get one more 18-20 mile run in before my 50k in early November, but man it just takes forever at that pace. Pizza, ice cream and cookies with the family now.

I max out Incline on treadmill and have speed in the low 3's, my hr will nestle around 125 with those parameters. My mind tells me I'm not accomplishing anything and I've noticed my flat/downhill speed on trails is roughly the same, it might be a touch slower, but I've gotten in the habit of power hiking the hills instead of running them and peaking my HR. That is where I've noticed the biggest jump, used to id be so smoked up those hills it would take a few minutes very slow jog on the flats to revover. Now hr stays between 130-155 out there which feels great. Don't know if that's entirely zone 2 training or the shift to keep hr below 160s at all costs, or the fact temp and humidity are starting to fall, but it seems like it's working.

15.7 (3.5hours) On trails this morning. Started before sunrise and was able to make it to a hill to watch the fog roll out as the sun came up over the wood line. Average HR was 141, topped out at 158, this pace used to have me in the mid 160s on average before I started the 5 day a week 1 hour zone 2 training, so there may be something to it after all. No snakes, tons of deer, and I ran through every spiderweb ever made so it was a great day.

Refs can still call it just cant be overturned now, im guessing. I vote just don't call it tonight.

Eliminate targeting too and im in.

I took 2 weeks completely off to lock in on my last project, and it finally paid off. Passed it tonight, completed my degree in network engineering. I have been stress baking/eating and have probably gained 20 pounds in 2 weeks but Jesus I'll have time now.

Im sure some of the others will be able to help more, but I just switched from injini socks to some wool merino socks and its been a gamechanger for me as far as moisture. Im in southern bama so humidity is high and the trails I run have a few creek crossings and those merinos drain fairly well to me.

7 yesterday after work, being lazy and baking with my daughter today. Goal is for 10 Saturday and Sunday again. Good luck on that 50 in a few weeks, ive got one in November when it will hopefully be nice and cool.

10 at 10 pace this morning. Plan to do the same tomorrow and start upping miles in the coming weeks to prep for november 50k then hopefully an April 50 miler.

I followed this earlier, got in mid 20s and out at 45 but had to get back in this morning once it dropped below 40. May hang on to these long term this time.

10 yesterday AM, 8.5 today at noon. No sunscreen so i got burned a smidge. Zone 2 is a distant memory now, heat and humidity are finally out in full force in bama.
