They’re a PITA schedule-wise, but that mid-week “medium-long run” is one of the keys to successful marathon training imo.20ks during the work week take up more time than I'm willing to put in right now.

Yep. One thing I've missed since Covid is the kid's soccer practices. I would get 1.5 hours a couple of days a week to run while they were at practice. Was the perfect time to get 8-9 miles in. I'm having a hard time taking the time to do this right now, and it's really affected my running obviously.They’re a PITA schedule-wise, but that mid-week “medium-long run” is one of the keys to successful marathon training imo.
Real men wear tights. And NOT with shorts over the top.I assume running pants are frowned upon. I mean, they keep you warm and serve a purpose, so obviously they must be bad.
Wait, temps in the 30s and you were in pants already? Maybe you're not cut out for Wisconsin after all...Running pants feel a little snug this morning. Wife must have shrunk them in the laundry this week.
Ok, buttercup.Real men wear tights. And NOT with shorts over the top.
Do you ever hop on the train to go run in Central Park or anything? Literally one of my favorite places in the world to run.I'm starting to burn out on the runs available to me.
Got across the williamsburg bridge this morning to do 12ish, either along the brooklyn waterfront or back across the manhattan bridge and west side waterfront...but both options bored me. So I went right instead of left after the bridge up into greenpoint bear country.
No beast sightings today thankfully, and ran into queens to loop back on the 59th st bridge and down by the UN along the east river. Haven't run that bridge since running NYC in '07. Easier than I remembered.
I think the problem is...I miss running in nature. At a certain point, whether I turn left or right, I'm still essentially running city streets. I miss Duck/marin running on Mt Team and the marin headlands. Endless trails and beautiful, varied terrain.
But I'm happier running than not...so have to keep reminding myself that.
Yeah. You don't want to cover up that decorative codpiece.Real men wear tights. And NOT with shorts over the top.
Beauty and essex, even with the crowd, is still really good food and a nice spot. And yeah...a block from us. It's a fun hood. You've probably puked in our doorway like the rest of the yabos around here.Do you ever hop on the train to go run in Central Park or anything?

PS: Had dinner right in your backyard at Beauty & Essex the last time we were in NYC. Pretty cool place. Love hanging out in the LES.
A distinct possibility after one night I can (sort of) remember at No Fun...Beauty and essex, even with the crowd, is still really good food and a nice spot. And yeah...a block from us. It's a fun hood. You've probably puked in our doorway like the rest of the yabos around here.
Central Park was my tri days workout area. I ran and biked sooooo many loops and miles there on every inch of that place, I'm still a little burned out 15 years later. But I was thinking of it today too as an option. I could hop a citibike and get up there in the same time a train would take...about 20 mins. Plus, the bike always did wonders warming up my legs for running. My 10k and 1/2 prs are all tri-related, either part of races or part of brick workouts. Think I'll give it a go next weekend...thanks for the reminder.
And definitely next time you're here, let me know. Grab a drink or some miles.
Johnny at no fun...good dude and good spot. We barely go out any more since the kids. But you're definitely hitting the right places.A distinct possibility after one night I can (sort of) remember at No Fun...
Will absolutely hit you up for both the next time we're in town. In pre-Covid times, we tried to get there at least once a year.
The WFH/kids in-person schooling since labor day has been a tremendous boost to my fitness. I can do those hour 20-30 runs during the week then get to the weekend with only recovery running and backyard strength training on the docket. I am quite aware that this will likely be coming to an end soon, so I am taking advantage while I can.They’re a PITA schedule-wise, but that mid-week “medium-long run” is one of the keys to successful marathon training imo.
Well, I'm not an effing neanderthal like you are.Wait, temps in the 30s and you were in pants already? Maybe you're not cut out for Wisconsin after all...
Has to be below 20 for me before the shorts are retired.Wait, temps in the 30s and you were in pants already? Maybe you're not cut out for Wisconsin after all...
Celsius, right?Has to be below 20 for me before the shorts are retired.

In Chief's defense, Kansas gets hot enough in the summer, and actually has wind. that 30 feels like a Wisconsin 20.Wait, temps in the 30s and you were in pants already? Maybe you're not cut out for Wisconsin after all...
You bail on the marathon a trois and now start with this. @gianmarco's gotta be feelin' mighty slighted by now.A distinct possibility after one night I can (sort of) remember at No Fun...

This thing pretty much kicked my butt! Combo of not nearly enough running lately, absolutely zero trail or hill work, a decent amount of mud, rocks and roots, and a lot of single lane track and I was working way too hard! Finished the HM in about 2:45. Will give more info later. Definitely was fun and glad I did it but really let me know how far I've fallen over the last 6 months +/-.Running the HM in this tomorrow: http://www.dinoseries.com/tecumseh-trail-marathon/
Will be more of a long run than a 'race' but should be fun. Supposed to start storming about 2pm today with rain likely continuing through the rest of the day/night. Weather will be great for race time but the trails will likely be pretty muddy - especially since they are doing staggered starts and the HM starts last. Will probably mean I get a sloppy course by the time I get started but should be fun.
Sounds amazing...nice work.This thing pretty much kicked my butt!

That’s a solid effort. When I did my trail run a couple of years ago, it was only 10 miles but it was wet and sloppy and rocky and a lot of elevation. I came in at 2:00, so for you to hit 2:45 with another 3 miles and little training says a lot about your talent.This thing pretty much kicked my butt!

Santa Fe Cafe? Overland Park?I know it's a late report, but knocked out a pretty smooth 10 miler this morning. Saw 7 deer in a group as I took a paved trail through some woods I hadn't been on in awhile. It was awesome. 35 degrees at kick off with a nice 10mph breeze coming from the east/northeast. Wore my tight pants. Everyone was talking about 'em.
After that:
Farmers Market. Getting down to the end for the year, but plenty of good stuff.
Sante Fe Cafe. Nice breakfast with my 12 year old. Knocked out some bacon, eggs, hash browns, and biscuits and gravy.
Bathroom remodel. Just spent the last 4 1/2 hours plumbing the shower drain and hanging durarock for the walls. Sheetrock will go in this week, and the tapers and mudders come in to clean it up and get it ready for paint and tile.
Now, time for a fire, a cold beer or two, and some sports on the TV. Have a good weekend gents.
Man. Back when my company still allowed us to travel, I'm in the OP at least 6 times a year (company has an office there) and eat at Santa Fe Cafe all the time. Big fan.Yessir.

Punctuation is important!I keep meaning to do that tight pants outfit for Halloween. With 2 teenage girls, it will generate maximum embarrassment this year.
Agreed. Prob too many hotties getting creeped on by weirdo internet dudes, but still...By the way, it wasn't until yesterday that I learned that flyby's are turned off in strava unless you explicitly turn them on in options. That totally sucks. One of the most fun parts of strava is viewing the flyby of a big event and seeing all the people running near you. I re-enabled mine but there's only a handful of people on it. Such a bummer!
Sign up for another race. Right now. Some don't need that as a carrot for continuing to move, but clearly you do. Considering your current fitness, great job Saturday. GREAT job.The Iguana said:Now to just keep my butt moving and get back into shape
no idea. This was in the home stretch so it was probably telling me to STOPWhile others might focus on the forward lean Daniel Jones self tackle action shot, this was the one that concerned me. What is going on with your left knee in this picture?
Yeah, I think it makes sense. You're giving up privacy already with the GPS but it's a little better without the flyby.gruecd said:Agreed. Prob too many hotties getting creeped on by weirdo internet dudes, but still...
