4.2 trail miles today. 94F, 165SI. Ran very slow, but the weather was the workout and it was more than enough. Last 5-6 lbs on the run, but if felt good to get back out there. I haven't done a trail run in a while.
Yeah, that pretty much sums up the half marathon I did yesterday. The air was so heavy that I could hardly breathe. In hindsight, probably should've just DNS'd. Instead I did 5 miles beforehand and the first few miles of the "race" itself, and then I basically walked/jogged the rest of the way. Eff that. Miserable.
I think it might have been a criticism. As in, "Holy crap! Your heart rate probably surpassed 75% of max!". :

It's all relative, FUBAR.
It was a compliment. That's flat out flying.I think it might have been a criticism. As in, "Holy crap! Your heart rate probably surpassed 75% of max!". :
Thanks. The upper 7:30s to about 7:45 is becoming that sweet spot between "starting to get a bit uncomfortable" and "this is annoyingly slow".It was a compliment. That's flat out flying.I think it might have been a criticism. As in, "Holy crap! Your heart rate probably surpassed 75% of max!". :
As soon as I read that, I could foresee the responses.
Yeah, I deserve it!
But seriously, Juxt, I wonder how much your speed work and short distance racing of the last couple years is benefiting you in this marathon training cycle.
Should be wetsuit. I should bring it in for a workout before doing the IM. Looks like the Oly on the 6th might not be wetsuit legal.
Take a bandana ala an old west train robber and try a jog. Cheap way to simulate altitude training
Nope. It was in Runner's World's FB feed 4hrs ago.
What has your training been like lately? What was the weather like yesterday compared to the runs you're comparing this to? Did you run in the sun? Stressed out yesterday? Too many things to factor in...You get the point. It could've just been a bad day. Don't let a recovery run get in your head (for good or bad). I wouldn't get concerned until it becomes a clear trend.
Ugh. That sucks.
Hopefully it's just a knot that needs worked out. My calves are always a thing of constant maintenance. They're finicky as all hell, but are also pretty damn tough to really do some damage to (famous last words
). Fingers crossed for ya.
I'm hoping that's all it is. I only did the treadmill that one day and it was 3 days of no pain or discomfort, but yesterday was the first time running outside in 5 days. I always start out rough on my first run after my long runs. I am getting some compression sleeves today, so I am hoping they will also help.Hopefully it's just a knot that needs worked out.

Maybe its that GD treadmill that's doing it?
