Changing my running schedule
by
Allen
I've been thinking that I should change my running schedule, because my heavy runs are now defined by pace rather than distance. I've decided to make the change. Before I ran the SLC half marathon in April, I ran light 5-mile runs on both Monday and Tuesday, and I ran a heavy intermediate 10-mile run on Wednesday and a heavy 13-mile long run on Sa ...

I had a tempo run on schedule for today. I completed it and it really was a fantastic run! (Thank goodness this week has been much better workout wise than the last.)Here’s the trouble I’m having…how hard are you supposed to be running your tempos? I was able to consistently hold the faster paces but at the end I wasn’t ...

The scheduled trail run went better than expected. It was a fairly tame trail--many parts are used for cross-country skiing in the winter and they are nice, well-defined, and well maintained. I was expecting lots of leaves covering the trails, although compacted with the recent rains, but obviously some little tractor came through with a leaf-blowe ...

We now (don't) resume our regularly scheduled runs
by
Amy G.
In theory, now that I'm "running" again I can rejoin Pam for our runs that we've been doing during the week for the past 5 or 6 years. When we started, Pam was slow and I was quicker and we both adjusted. As she got more experienced, Pam became much faster than I am but she'd slow down for the evening runs so that we could chat without ...

To run or not to run
by
Amy G.
I miss running. Until this morning the most I had run at one time, for the past 6 weeks, was about 3.5 miles. Sure, I've been beating my brains out swimming and cycling, and adding in some walking when the air quality was vaguely decent, but 3.5 miles. Last year by this time I had run 300 miles more than I've run this year. I miss it. A LOT. ...

Last night the thermometer in my car actually read 89 degrees! It was amazing to see that at 7pm -- so I was psyched for my run! LOL -- psyched and run in the same sentence... that's a head-shaker for sure! I met up with my running club for a 40 minute "easy" run. I was doing pretty well until I needed a potty break. :) No matter tho ...

Running

Over the years, running has gotten a bad rap. Many people think that the impact your feet absorb isn't good. This is only a myth. When we were born, our bodies were designed to walk, run and jump. Things such as ballet, yoga, and other exercises that push your joints to the limits are not good for you. Did ya'll know that ballet dancers have a high ...

Running

Weight Master E.
I mentioned yesterday how I've gravitated to bicycling instead of running, but I do still run at least once a week--sometimes more. When I was in high school, I ran all of the time. What's funny is I was so comptetative, I would kill myself before I'd let someone pass me on the track. Seriously, my side would be hurting, calfs cramping, but I'd st ...

T Runs On?

Melting Mama
Hold your calls to DSS. The espresso was nearly gone, when you drink a cappuccino, that goes first, and what is left is foam, she got the skim milk foam, which I do not like.THEN WTF DO YOU DRINK IT, WOMAN?! Well, BECAUSE? I have to get milk in me somehow, right? I have no Vitamin-D in my body, and milk is chock-fulla the stuff, so when we go ...

Run, Run, Run!

At 8:19 pm tonight, I ran 4 laps (2.96 miles) in 33:28, or an 11:18 minute-per-mile pace in approximately 66-70 degree weather. At the time I was running, it felt like I was running really fast -- in fact, much faster than my last run -- but apparently it was all in my head! ;-) I've learned from experience that sometimes running at night in a coo ...
