Ran a 10k in June (5 Viewers)

[Sean]

BNB and Duck - Great write ups! I was in awe reading both. I feel like such a ##### complaining about my training now.

Ned - nice run. 6:35 @ mile 6? damn!

Set out to do 3 easy miles yesterday after a long run on Sunday and my knee started bugging me right away. I couldn't even finish the 3 miles (decided to shut it down around 2.5). Really bummed with my 10k coming up next week. Feels better after a lot of stretching/rolling last night but I'll probably take at least today off and see what happens. I thought I was putting this issue behind me and boom it pops right back up. Frustrating.

SFB - Your friend is a down right warrior. Thank you for sharing. It certainly helps put my piddly training into perspective. Your report gave me goosebumps several times.

Great way to enjoy my cup of coffee this morning reading that.Just flat out awesome stuff.

 

[sho nuff]

After reading BnB and SFB's reports, it almost feels foolish to post my workout today. It was a fantastic run, though, so I have to share.

Ahhhh, my favorite workout; LT/tempo. I had 8mi w/ 4LT on the schedule and decided to wake up before work to get it in. With the AM forecast in the low 60s and low humidity, I wanted to take advantage of these rare conditions for late June. Out the door at 5:30 and it was down right chilly. I almost regretted wearing a singlet. As I got into the tempo miles, I quickly realized how easy it was coming to me. And then it hit me - lets MAC this thing. I had so much left in the tank, I decided to let it all hang out on the last mile for ####s and giggles. I was cruising along and day dreaming when I looked down and saw I was at 5.05 already. Oh crap, let's go. I opened it up and focused on keeping the HR above 180. I'll let the data tell the rest...

3 - 7:35/167

4 - 7:30/168

5 - 7:31/171

6 - 6:35/181

I'm shocked I had a sub 5K pace left in me. It's amazing what some cool temps will do for ya.

Great run...yes, cool temps are nice.

Today was going to be a rest day...but when I saw the forecast last night...had to get up early to enjoy the temps.

60* when I went out for 3 recovery miles before it was time to get the kids up.

10:32

10:28

10:20

Doing those the last few weeks at that pace would have brought up high 150s in my HR in the heat.

Today it went 137, 141, 146

 

[pmbrown_22]

BNB - Another epic race by you. You have to feel pretty good that you came in way under your goal and did not prepare for an "A" Race. I would love to see what you could do on that course when you consider yourself properly trained. And, do you ever do anything flat just for fun?

Duck - Great race report and way to help a buddy out. That sounds like a great time. You friend sounds like he gave everything that he had out there to get through it. Just amazing what the body can do when people put their mind to it.

--------------

Actually got out and did 6 hilly miles yesterday. Hopefully today I can get out and cover some more miles as a recovery.

Have a great day all.

 

[beer 302]

That would be Sunday. And I passed on the tempo run this weekend because my legs weren't back under me yet. I over-did it with the circuit/sprint workout but that's why I did that workout 9 days before the race and not race week! Killed the tempo run today though - got the middle 3 done in 18:30. Legs were a bit tight when I started (my ### and ham's were still a little tender) but the mile jog to start loosened them up so I went for it. Golfing tomorrow so just going to do a short recovery run at night, doing a trial 5k Wednesday, an easy 6 miles Thursday then take Friday + Saturday off before the race. Running the course Wed to get a feel for it. I'm real happy the finish is mostly downhill so mentally I only need to push myself to 2 1/2 miles (I usually struggle right around mile 2) then just let the hill and the finish get me home. My aggressive goal is 18 mins (mile 1 - 5:40, mile 2 - 5:50) but will be happy with anything under my adult PR of 18:32.

Really interested to see what you do this weekend, GL!!BnB - even if I understood half of what you said I have a feeling I'd be more impressed than I am with your results

SFDuck - thanks for that write-up, can't fathom running/walking 100 miles. . .ever

 

[BassNBrew]

Greetings, gents.

50 miler in the books this morning. Good thing, too, as it was getting mighty, mighty hot out there by the time we were done. 5 Strava PRs set. Killed it up one climb (Pumphouse) where a guy who usually thrashes me was hacking and wheezing keeping up. That felt pretty darn good.

And, upon analysis, set new 1 minute and 2 minute power bests at 460w and 420w. Giggity.

Very strong Sand. That 2 min power number is off the charts.

 

[BassNBrew]

Ended up just over 25 minutes, north of 2-minute 100s and about a minute and a half slower than 2-years ago, and I was GASSED.

Is this a typo 2young? Your a freaking animal competing for a podium spot week after week.

 

[BassNBrew]

Decent few days of running for me:

Friday - Back down to the Ice Age Trail for a little over 16 miles. Was hoping to do 18, but my buddy wasn't able to keep up, so we kinda ran out of time. Still, another good run. Averaged 9:42/mile. Despite some fairly technical sections, still no falls. Just a matter of time, I'm sure...

Saturday - 7 miles at 8:21/mile. Another hot, humid run.

Sunday - 8 miles at 8:08/mile. Warm and sunny, and I almost quit after a couple of miles. Eventually it clouded over, and I felt a ton better. Funny how much difference that makes.

Today - Nice and cool this morning (low 50s), so I took advantage and did a little over 5-1/2 miles at 7:42/mile.

--------

Total last week was a little over 54 miles. Planning to get that up around 60 by mid-July and eventually peak around 70-80 as I continue to prep for my 50-miler in November. Sticking with my plan of getting out for a long trail run at least every other week. Going again this coming Saturday. I'd go more often if it didn't take me an hour (at least) to get there.

I know it depends on how techinical the trail is, but how much time are you losing per mile on the trail? I'm usually at least 2 min per mile slower but am probably one of the least graceful trail runners out there.

What kind of doubles time wise are in your training plan?

 

[BassNBrew]

Hey fellas, long time! It's been forever since I've even visited the FFA, but at Tri-man's suggestion on FB I wanted to pop in to post about a little adventure I had this weekend - crewing and pacing for a buddy at the Western States 100! I really do apologize in advance for the (extreme) length, but hope what may be the first ever "Pacers Report" on FFA will be interesting for a few of you (I know Poppa will enjoy!).

Thank you for the extreme length. Extremely enjoyable read. Great work on your part for your buddy.

 

[IvanKaramazov]

Gruecd, have you set a goal for your 50-miler? It will be interesting to track your training paces relative to that goal.

I'm curious about this too. In the same way that it's practically impossible to know what your "marathon pace" is for your first marathon, I'd guess it's really hard to pin down an appropriate goal pace the first time you do a 50-miler. But then again, gruecd has a much higher mileage base than most of us and obviously has a ton of experience at the 26.2 mile distance, so maybe that makes it easier to anticipate what it's like to double that.

 

[IvanKaramazov]

I'm starting to do a better job now of dragging myself out of bed to get my intermediate runs done early in the morning before it gets hot. Today was 8 GA miles with 10 x 100m, and it was super-easy despite much stronger winds than I would have liked. I had to time the repeats so that I wasn't trying to run them directly into a 20 mph wind gust, but otherwise it was no problem.

It is, it should be 15 minutes for the 750. Its been fun this year. With my two big races in August and September, I am enjoying racing into race shape. I'll be humbled this Sunday and will be close, if not at the bottom of the results for both events. I am doing a 1 Mile OWS, followed by and Aquathon (run 2K/Swim .5 miles/run 2K). Big time swimmers events and I am achy in my neck and shoulders from racing the last 3 weekends.Really enjoyed your ride race report. Never say never, but I am not ashamed to admit that group riding and racing scares the hell out of me. I don't see myself racing my road bike ever, other than maybe a charity century to say I did it. Two 6+ hour events is damn impressive too.

 

[gruecd]

What kind of doubles time wise are in your training plan?

I'm planning on roughly following this plan from Bryon Powell's book "Relentless Forward Progress," except that I'll be adding mileage by running 6 days/week and probably doing some doubles. Already have the 50K tune-up race planned for October, but I'll probably do at least one or two 30- or 35-mile Saturday runs followed up by 15ish on Sunday.The only thing I don't know is how to pace those long training runs. Assuming goal pace for the 50M is 9:36, and assuming I'm running on similar terrain, should I be targeting that same pace on my long training runs? Or is it like marathon training where I should be running 10-20% slower? I have no effing clue.

 

[tri-man 47]

SFDuck - thanks so much! What a fantastic report. Tell Jim how proud we are of what he accomplished and how inspiring he is. HTFU, for sure! Good luck to you as you gear things back up!

Ice that knee whenever you can and elevate. Don't ice more than 15mins at a time and rest at least 2-3hrs before re-icing. Ice is your knees' best friend.

Or is it like marathon training where I should be running 10-20% slower? I have no effing clue.

FWIW, I was significantly slower on my training runs. Somewhere around 2 min, however the terrian on the training runs skewed things. I think your race is similiar where you'll have some technical stuff and some easy stuff where your pace will be much faster. That kind of throws training for 9:36 out the window when you know you'll be running a good bit at sub 8 and a good bit at 10+. That said, 2 min for someone slower like me would probably be closed to 1:15 to 1:30 slower for you.Everything I read leaned towards time on your feet during training, especially back to back days being more important than pace. You have a huge base so just running will likely work for you. I would encourage you to error on the side of running less during the week to extend your long runs. It probably goes against your background, but I'd give up 2 hours during the week to add an add'l 1/2 on both Saturday and Sunday. My plan was also a 5 day plan but I made the Wed a crosstrain or rest day. I also shortened Tue/Thur runs for more weekend time, but some of that was due to the fact that I don't care to 2 hours at night in the dead of winter.

You don't have any need for base. You could run this event successfully this weekend. The difference between doing well and crushing it will be those training miles in uncharted territory between 4-6 hours.

Do you have any long hills in your area? I know your race has some serious climbing cued up.

The difference between doing well and crushing it will be those training miles in uncharted territory between 4-6 hours.

I think those are both very true statements. Here's how my one friend explained the course: "So the course is (approximately) 2.5M road up a big hill to the Appalachian Trail (AT), 1M on the AT, about 1M on a very steep road, then it's AT for 11 more miles, and at the end you drop 1000 feet very quickly. Then a short <1M stretch to join the towpath, 26 miles there, and then 8+ rolling miles on the roads to finish."With regard to the AT itself, he said that half is quite runnable and half rather technical. The towpath is supposedly flat, dirt, and wide, and I'm told I'll love running it, except that it gets monotonous and pretty lonely at times.

Knowing your luck I expect that path to be about a foot under the creek to the left.

 

[SFBayDuck]

Thanks guys, I'm glad you enjoyed reading about this. I know I can't completely capture the range of emotions experienced throughout the weekend, but it was incredible.

One thing I left out was that there was one guy who entered the track at about 29:59:30, but didn't make it to the finish before 30:00:00 so it wasn't an official finish. He was going for his 10th finish, entry into the 1000 mile club, and missed it by 90 seconds. It was so heartbreaking, hundreds of people clapping and cheering for him, all knowing he wouldn't quite get there in time.

I also didn't talk much about some of the human carnage we saw out there - people sleeping under emergency blankets in the middle of the night; people dry heaving as they kept moving along the trail; a 30-40 yr old runner being paced by his Dad just struggling as we passed him, mustering only an "I've been better" as he literally stumbled along; one 60+ year old guy being basically carried by his pacer up the hill into Green Gate, and when the volunteers came running toward him to hear him say "I'm in trouble!". Amazing stuff.

I must say, I was pretty physically beat up myself (not in comparison, of course!), 8 hours on the trail is 8 hours no matter what pace we were moving. I managed a little 30 minute walk yesterday to try and work out the soreness, but feeling a bit better today and actually did 6 easy miles on trails. I almost feel like my mental state, how I feel about running, has been changed after having been a small part of WS100. We'll see if that lasts or if it's a temporary afterglow. I'm no Kevin Garnett fan, but "ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!" keeps bouncing around in my head. I hope that feeling lasts.....

I can certainly see that having a major effect on your perspective. Hell it changed mine just reading your RR. GL with your training. Not sure why you aren't around here any longer, but hope to see more of your posts. I can tell you have a passion for this stuff like a lot of us here do.

[Ned]

Out the door at 5 to take advantage of another gorgeous morning. 60 degrees and 48 dew point made for an awesome 11mi MLR. My legs felt no ill effects from yesterday's fast tempo. It's amazing how well my body responds to these tempo runs. Almost without fail, I have a great couple of runs immediately following a tempo.

Today was no different. I'm hitting some uncharted territory with my longs runs. I trust the HR training, but dang man. This was fast for a long run. The miles just clicked away effortlessly. I really had to work to keep from pushing the pace. I could've easily made this a sub 9 the entire way and kept it under 150, but I behaved myself. Ended up at 9:09/142

 

[gruecd]

Nice workouts, Ned. Expecting big things from you....

Nice day for me yesterday. 7 relatively fast (7:42) in the morning followed up by 5 easy (8:10) in the late afternoon. Followed up by a 5-mile walk at night.

 

[beer 302]

This morning was a reminder to my HS days of why I hated running, 7x400m sprints. While I've tried to kid myself into thinking I was doing some speed work on the treadmill nothing compares to the road. First two were ok, last 5 were humbling, tip of the hat to Grue, almost puked on the last one. I know, try harder right?

The way Runkeeper tracks the splits I have no idea how to translate it into anything that makes sense but tracking the pace line it appears I was a lot faster than I felt, that made me feel a little better about it but boy do I have a long way to go. Molasses passed me a few times laughing at my pace.

 

[Ned]

You're being too hard on yourself. If you were on the verge of puking, you were trying hard.

 

[tri-man 47]

A good 6 miles of urban hill training yesterday - went to a pretty big overpass and did 8 over-and-backs. Followed up today with 6 x 800m @ 3:09 each. Tomorrow will be building to a 100 degree day, so I'll lay low.

Slacker. MAC_32 would follow up that hill workout and interval session with an "easy" 10-mile tempo run.

 

[sho nuff]

72 to start...82 at the finish.

Thankfully low humidity today.

8 mile MLR...kept it around 10:05 the whole way...started out with HR in the mid 140s, ended in the mid 150s. Seemed easy today where other runs in the 10:20-10:30 range were struggles to keep the HR under 160.

Definitely think more sleep + lack of humidity this week has helped me big time.

I thought about MAC this morning as my legs were barking at me a bit for putting them through intervals the day after some hill training. But I wanted to beat the coming heat and to get another speed session in before next week's race, so I figured my legs will just have to HTFU and deal with it.

 

[pmbrown_22]

Hilly 6 miles againg for me today. Felt pretty good although I was not really wanting to go out today, but did anyway to pass the time. Last day for me in the office as the new house and beach are calling me. I won't be updating with my subpar updates for awhile. I am in much need of this vacation as the entire family is exhausted with this house thing.

Have a great couple of weeks all.

 

[Sean]

Nice runs guys. Nothing but stretching, ice, and the foam roller for me yesterday. Might try a short run later to see how the knee is feeling. I'm actually a little nervous to go out and run again.

 

[Juxtatarot]

I signed up for a 5K on July 4 and the Rock and Roll Chicago Half on July 22. I think I'll also run another half in September. These halfs aren't on a Pfitzinger schedule (for my Chicago Marathon training in October) but I'm really enjoying racing frequently instead of religiously following a long training schedule.

Ran 10 miles last night averaging around 7:40. I was pleased that the pace seemed easy enough even with temperatures in the low 80s.

Congrats, guys, on all the solid training runs. It's been a hot season across the country but we all seem to be hanging in there!

If you aren't hurt then you're not trying hard enough. Key word, 'hurt;' not injured. Glad I hit Sunday's course over lunch today instead of going in blind race day. I knew the last 1/2 mile was all downhill but I didn't know most of the mile before it was downhill too. So, yes, most of the first half of the race is uphill. Needless to say my pace was a mess as I dialed it back towards the end of mile 1 as I was struggling on the hills (6 flat) and didn't push too hard over the next 3/4 mile either. When I realized as I was nearing mile 2 that the rest of the course had to be downhill I took off. Hit mile 2 in 6:15 (probably closer to 6:30-6:45 pace between 1 and 1.5 mi) then did the last 1.1 in 6:15. Couldn't go any faster at the end but after I was done I did not feel like my legs were gassed so I need to make up the difference in the middle. I figure if I can hit 5:45-6:00 I can make a run at 18 flat. The worst of the hills is from 0.9 to 1.4 so if I'm not on pace I'll bet it's because of that, there's a brief downhill about halfway through so I'm hoping if I battle before and after then use that downhill to coast and catch my breath I can get through on pace.

Easy 6 miles (8:30-9 min pace) tomorrow then off Friday and Saturday to rest up for the race. Hitting the links Saturday, but will break my no cart rule for racing purposes. Who else is racing this weekend?

Triman will be happy to know the only workout I've gotten in this week is a couple of lunge sessions with a 2 yo on my shoulders up and down the hospital hallways!

My wife had child #2 late Monday afternoon. Everyone's doing pretty good, Anna Caroline has a pretty bad case of jaundice which has kept us up here a few days longer than expected. Otherwise everything is good. We're all stir crazy as hell, but it's 100 outside so I feel pretty good about not missing anything.

I hope to join the group full speed before too long.

Added to the list, heading out for my final pre race run momentarily. Not sure why I thought running over lunch in 95 degree heat was a good idea, but I made the mistake of rsvp'ing yes to a NBA draft party. My bad. And I'll be paying for it shortly...

Congrats jb...have a little Anna of my own (though, she is 4 now).

My little girl (now 23) returned Monday from 10 months of living and working in Sydney following her graduation. So proud of her. Newsworthy for our thread is that she has started to dabble in some running! lol - She's trying to talk older brother into running a Big Ten 5K challenge at the end of July, and mr. volleyball player wants no part of it. She's told me that I'm not allowed to be there for her first 5K since she doesn't know how it will go.
