Or Dennis Miller's news report: "I wear two condoms all day, every day. Then, right before sex, I take one off and feel like a wild man."Reminds me of the old SNL commercial: "Normally I wear protection, but then I thought, 'when am I going to make it back to Haiti?'"
i'll take a linkall i can say is this setup has worked for me i've run in winter without and always wind up with cold dck.Those flimsy shorts aren't doing nothing for the boys. Any cold air not going thru them is going up the legs. They have tights beefy enough to snowmobile in that are pretty comfy for running. They also have windproof undies.function over fashion, my man. i get a cold dck without them. also, i think it was about 10 when we took off. i've run in -25. as many layers as possible in those conditions. you'd be crazy to go out in just tights with a stiff wind and -7 for the real temp.
lolI probably should have worn a condom when I visited that brothel in Honduras, but that's really monday morning quarterbacking.
I use these. Be forewarned.

E-mailed the RD, and he let me in. So now I've got a half marathon on 3/16 and a 30-miler on 3/23. Should be good tune-ups for Boston and for my 50-miler in May.Any of you Illinois dudes have any pull with the Second Wind Running Club in the Champaign-Urbana area? Just found out today that some friends are doing the Clinton Lake 30M on 3/23, and I'd like to join them, but registration literally closed last night.

It goes up a lot more if you have a girl. Does that help?Questions: What do I need to know about my heart rate? Never have I ever paid any attention to it but it seems to be all the rage around here.
Dammit, I'll find out when the day comes. Already have a 1 year old boy so I'm good thereIt goes up a lot more if you have a girl. Does that help?Questions: What do I need to know about my heart rate? Never have I ever paid any attention to it but it seems to be all the rage around here.
That's ned's department. I have the cleff notes, they work for me. I don't like to think too much when I exercise, focus on the task at hand. Probably why distance running isn't my forte.Ran 7miles at 9:00 per today. This might have been my longest run ever. Yay to me. Since I started my 500 miles quest, any run over 5 miles has been around a 9:30 pace so I'm happy to see progress. Now I just have to try and keep running consistently with my 2nd child due in just 2 weeks. Questions: What do I need to know about my heart rate?

Um, yea, he is. What we call impossible, grue calls Wednesday. There are about 10 of them in this thread that put some very holy ####! numbers on a pretty routine basis. Wait until Brass n Brew decides on a whim to ride 300 miles and then run a 100k the next day because, well, he didn't have anything else to do.You should look up the horse story too, it's not all fun & games around here.Are you some kind a machine?E-mailed the RD, and he let me in.

Great job, koby.He really did put the swerve on me with that post. I had to do a double take when I saw "first mile at 6:05" after all the excuses.I know the race day rocket poo all too well. Low 19s on a terrible day. Congrats on the hardware.
Never said you wouldn't improve. Increasing volume (to a point) will certainly cause adaptations. Now you'd undoubtedly get faster quicker with some tempo/threshold work in there. It works for pretty much all endurance sports. The only issue is injury prevention - which with swimming isn't a huge concern (where it is a big concern with running).Continuing to distance swim train the wrong way appears to be paying off. My last 5 swims have been 2,500 yard straight swims, no break. I am trying to target 2 minute 100s and come out of the pool without being out of breath (comfortable). 3 of the 4 swims were between 48:30 and 50 minutes, with one 8 seconds over 50. On Monday I wanted to test if training long and slow was making me too slow. I did another 2,500, but tried to push my pace just a bit. Net result was a 2,500 in 46:43, and I was still not all that whipped when I was done. If time permits, I want to bump up to 3,000 yards tonight and target coming in right on the hour. If I can progress this way, I'd like to get to 4,000 yards by the end of March, mid April.
Pic from the cooooooold 15K on Saturday (which my body wanted no part of, but more on that later): Brrrrrrr!
Nice pics - zero clue on how you guys run when it's that cold.
Looks like there's a new cheetah in town#### yes, 3 miles in 18 minutes. That just made my day
I was more poking fun at myself, not you. I do want to build speed and will flop over to this later in the swim session and before the season. I feel I need to build the "mental" base now as I'll be giving up swim time for kayak time as soon as I can get out on the water. I am doing a couple of kayak multi-sport events, including one in early June. I've been watch for signs of injury as I've pressed things and, other than soreness in my neck and a bout of foot/calf craps the day after a hard ride, so far so good. The neck thing, I would think, is do to the repetitive turns from left to right to get air (something I am guessing I need to build up too).Never said you wouldn't improve.

As someone who grew up in Florida and now lives in SoCal - no. Just no. I would find another athletic endeavor. Every time I run when it's less than 50 out, I get this old man cough for about 20 minutes. I find something... freeing? I don't know... about running when it's 90 and just coming back drenched in sweat.Of course, caveat: I'm not good at running, nor am I trying to do anything particularly ambitious with my running. I'm just a kinda-fat guy trying to put some miles on and feel good. BP 114/66 Monday at my checkup, so I must be doin' something right for my body...I would rather run when it is ten than ninety.Pic from the cooooooold 15K on Saturday (which my body wanted no part of, but more on that later): Brrrrrrr!Nice pics - zero clue on how you guys run when it's that cold.
This, only the exact opposite. If I never had to run in weather over 50 degrees, I'd be happy.As someone who grew up in Florida and now lives in SoCal - no. Just no.

Do cheetahs like cold weather? That seems to be when I am at my best. Hope this new routine keeps up results wise. Early returns have been great.Looks like there's a new cheetah in town#### yes, 3 miles in 18 minutes. That just made my day

80 degrees never feels like a cool spring day....Think about how 80 degrees in August feels like a cool spring day...
Yep, definitely speedy. That being said, still not sure what exactly he's trying to accomplish by just going out and running fast all the time....Looks like there's a new cheetah in town#### yes, 3 miles in 18 minutes. That just made my day

Thanks, Clayton. Good to see you back in the thread.Nice pics - zero clue on how you guys run when it's that cold.
Weather acclimation is real and overlooked a lot. Think about how 80 degrees in August feels like a cool spring day, whereas 80 degrees in March feels like you're stuck in the Sahara Desert.
Holy hell, dood. That's fast.#### yes, 3 miles in 18 minutes. That just made my day
[After catching up on this thread, however, I'm actually motivated enough to brave the 45 degree weather and get three miles in.
They both suck. I say that having come off a 7 mile run at lunch (8:22/mile at a HR too high for Ned's liking ). 46 degrees, 15mph winds, cloudy. Perfection on a stick.Weather acclimation is real and overlooked a lot.

I'm back and without frostbite in 31:01.And I agree with Ned about acclimation.[After catching up on this thread, however, I'm actually motivated enough to brave the 45 degree weather and get three miles in.
without frostbite
InMy first 5K ever.May have to alter my daily workout routine.Lift pretty heavy 3 days a week, while throwing in cardio(racquetball, basketball, running, spinning) at least 3 days a weekMay focus on leaning out to run.Giddy up, signed up for 3 races in April and May. I have only done 2 races before, but one was Warrior Dash so it doesnt count. Should be a fun time.

What were your rest intervals on these things? Looks pretty stout.What are you going to do to win today???Well probably only Sand would understand...
What would your coach say about a 335w 1 minute TT? I figure you're good for 400+ once you're back in bike shape.Of course, that's easy for me to say seeing as I was supposed to get on the trainer last night and promptly fell asleep in front of the TV. I did get my proposal in, though. 49 pages of brilliance. All I've done in the last 2 days is 12 miles of running. I think BnB does that in his sleep at 2am and doesn't even remember it in the morning. Too short and easy.3 min cool down....class over....or notThen the instructor hit us by surprise with the word GO as I was unclipping!!!1 mile TT, 2'40". Ended up at 336 watt avarage, hit 690 watts at the finish sprint. Hit 180 hr here, 13 over 167 threshold
