Did my annual 29K/1,000m race today. Went well, was hoping for a sneaky PR, but didn't happen. 2nd AG. I'm definitely running tons of volume, but I think I'm doing it all wrong. Need to revert to my old approach. Just running 17K six days a week isn't giving me enough easy/short days, and...

Yes, I've seen on Strava that you've strung together a number of runs, nice work. Keep it up!

It's that time of year in DFW when I get into this running funk. It's so hot that every run, even at an easy pace, feels like a slog. And every run is slow. Can't bring myself to force any kind of pace or intervals. Long runs (13+ miles) are off the table. Intellectually, I know that I...

Adopting the "I don't care about my time, I'm just going to enjoy it" approach for Boston was awesome. You've already proven you can race a marathon, nothing to prove here. So your plan to enjoy it is a good one. If I ever got into NY, I'd do the same.

First unintentional DNF yesterday. :kicksrock: Completed the distance but missed cutoff.

No, ever since I started getting elbow pain from pushups/curls/presses, I haven't been able to return to them without almost immediately also returning to my elbow pain. It got so bad before that I couldn't shake someone's hand without wincing. So, unfortunately upper body work hasn't happened...

I'm in a fairly good spot right now. Been averaging 50-60mpw for about six months. I'm back in territory I've been in before. Cardio is good/great, but every day the muscles don't want to do much more than easy pace. So about 95% of my runs are easy pace (AHR at ~118 on cool days). Would...

Yes, great to see @bushdocda set a HM PR (if Strava is to be believed) on a tough course! That ~40m hill ~halfway through looks like no joke!

Can't speak from the former, but I'm feeling 100% normal after the latter. Butthole at 100%, same with everything else. Could be just because I get to eat now, and that is incredibly welcome.

Had my first one today. Prep wasn't horrible -- Magnesium Citrate 17 hours prior, SUPREP 12hrs prior, then SUPREP again 5 hours prior. Mixed the latter with orange juice and chugged it no problem. Was worried that there would be a ton of gut pain all night, but no pain at all. Obviously had...

@Brony great race and report! Roughly how much elevation gain on the race? Trying to translate it to one of my mountain/trail climbs.

Since the subject came up, my wife noticed a mole under my ear/jaw a few months ago. I couldn't see it, based on where it was. But she said it was new and changing. My company provides a full physical every year as part of my health plan (skin, body scan, stress test, etc), so during the...

Thinking of you, GB! Good luck tomorrow!

Rooting for you, TM. I can't imagine what you're going through. Thank you for sharing and hoping for the best possible outcome for you. It's time for your healthy lifestyle to pay you back.
