Who are the racers this weekend so we know who to sweat?
Thank beer.
Briefing was delayed an hour. Major rains have made the original start location a no go. Cars getting stuck left and right at check in. Bridge over creek washed away. Chance of a shower tonite, but no rain during the race per the forecast. They told us to expect wet, muddy, and slow conditions. They also said that if you want dry shoes send a pair to each drop location. Doubt many people brought 10 pairs of shoes.
Sitting is a great Inn with a view of the mountains. Headed to dinner shortly and then will try to get some sleep. I was so neverous last night that I only slept 4.5 hours.

BnB's got the big one. I'm doing a trail HM, also in sloppy conditions, north of Detroit with 2Young and some of Bourbon Chase and DWD crew. Looks like Ned, ghost, and maybe FUBAR are doing 5Ks.

Here's my dilemma. I'm tempted to run this 5k Sunday, it's warm-up distance from home, weather should be perfect, and I've been running well recently so I'd have a shot at a PR, I think.
Problem is I ran it last year and it only measured 3.05 miles on my Garmin. It looks like the same course this year. This is a small race and I suspect it wasn't/isn't measured correctly.
If I do well and it measures the same, does it count? I don't know if I want a PR with an asterisk.

I assume its not a certified race? I know it would always bother me so I probably wouldn't count it. You can keep it as your 3.05 PR. Did others have it coming up short too?

So I am here at work, and doing this 5k in the morning when I get out of work.
So of course, someone brought in like six large pizzas that will be sitting out all night tempting me like a free hooker.
And even better, this lady tell me that I should load up on some pizza to get my carbs before my run in the morning. Wonderful advice............so I ate two pieces (small pieces) and almost ran to the bathroom to throw up. Not sure which decision was worse, eating the pizza or wanting to become bulimic.

Well at least you can hang your hat on this a bit. And as a kid I found distance running (as in more than 50 yards not chasing a ball) boring.
(Personally, though, I still wish I was playing soccer. I watch my kid playing and know I could step on the field even now and crush the little ####ers. But prevalence of injury is way higher and I don't have the patience to sit through extended periods of idleness - death is getting closer and closer these days.)

Me too. My baseball team was like 5-15 my junior and senior years. It's a rarity a pitcher goes 1-5 and makes 1st team all conference (yeah that was me). We were bad
Our track team was ridiculous. 2nd in state 4x800 my senior year. I would have been a good 400/800 kinda guy. Who knows HOW good, but I only ran one 800 in my life and ran 2:20 (freshman year of college intramurals, a year after not running at all).
Now I can barely tie my own shoes.

Interesting Regional Meet for my son and his team to say the least. His school and another (all boys parochial) were back and forth for 1st all afternoon/night. His school put 3 finalist in both the 100 & 200 and 2 in the 110 hurdles. But, a botched final exchange while leading the 4x100 seemed to deflate the entire team and the ended up second in the event. My son had a good night. His 4x800 team finished 3rd and during his leg (leg 2) it looked like they may have had a chance for a state qualifying 2nd place finish. He took the baton with his team in third and passed it off in second with about a 15 meter lead. Their #3 kept the lead, but the anchor for the team in 3rd is the #2 XC runner in the state and dominated the 1600 & 3200 later in the evening. Then, for some strange reason, before the evening scratches were due, his coaches flopped my son from the 800 to the 400. My son, who is very mellow, seem ####ed about the switch (maybe the coaches knew what they were doing here). His seeding time was a season best 55:2 (well above his PR last year of 54:6). This put him on lane 2 of heat 2 of 4 (28 entries). Hard to tell until the home stretch where he was, but he seemed to be blasting it the whole race. Rounding the turn for home, it looked like he was 3rd, but hammer the stretch to win the heat by about 3 meters, running a PR 52:8 
We anxiously watched the next two heats to see where this would end up. In the end it placed him 6th in the region and scoring points for his team. Interestingly, had he run the 800 and run a season best, this would have only put in the 5th/6th spot as the top 4 all went sub 2 and checked out from the field. Only 2 more meets next week. Districts Tuesday and they are defending champs at this event as well. Hopefully, they can rally from the Regional defeat. Then, a 9/10 meet on Wednesday. His team is Sophomore heavy so I expect them to dominate this event.

Fort Bragg puts on a well organized free 5k each month, first time I've done it. Simple, no registration or even a sign up sheet. Just show up to the start at 8 and go. Good swag, keurig coffee and a t shirt.
I jogged an easy 20 minutes then treated it as a LT test. 19:39/172bpm, 5th behind young dudes.

Full effort for 20 minutes is more a VO2 max workout. LT is something you can hold from an hour to half marathon distance.

I sucked. Shouldn't have eaten the pizza I guess.
My swinging monkey calf muscle was fine, although i refrained from my customary end of race quarter mile sprint so that it didn't blow up on me. Probably cost me 20-30 seconds.
Two weeks ago ran 25:25, ran 25:55 today (still a minute faster than when I ran this last year).
I just didnt have it today. Didnt feel it. Did the pizza factor in? Did my calf factor in subconsciously?? Did the fact that I had just gotten off a 12 hour night shift factor in?
Or did I just run like a bichhhhh

I mentioned the same fluctuations happened to me and that your sample size is simply too small and there are too many factors at play to analyze your running like this.
It is like judging a basketball player game to game 3 games in to their rookie season.

Footballguy
A couple weeks ago I could tell I ran on the high end of my potential. Today I didnt feel good at all after about the 1.5 mile point. Still only a 30 second difference (plus I did not run hard at the end, and I did have enough left in the tank for that, just didnt wanna hurt my calf on the last 200 meters).
So I still feel like I am a better runner than I was two weeks ago, just didn't run as good of a race for whatever reason.
I just wanted to PR today. Oh well.

FUBAR - Great job! What were your mile splits? Gonna post a full race report?
Ghost - Remember that "it's a long-term process" bull#### we mentioned?
17 miles for me this morning. 7:49 average, 142 HR. I started bonking during mile 15. I guess that shouldn't be a surprise. My endurance needs work plus I didn't eat breakfast, only drank water and don't have any gels. I'm kind of disappointed although I'm glad I ran this instead of messing around with a 5K this weekend.

2014 Kennett Square 5K
This is my favorite 5K of the year, but boy did they screw up this year. Results got majorly botched... Nobody knows where they really placed, yet they gave out awards anyway after making us wait around for 45 minutes. I don't know what happened, but oooof. My wife's boss was in the same age group and ran a 22:30 and they gave him 3rd... I didn't get a place. When I checked the scrolling results, they had me at 26:06.
At any rate.... I met up with my wife's boss and his wife along with a few other friends. They live about a mile from the start, so we all jogged over together. They're not runners, but big into crossfit. I haven't seen them in a while.... crossfit did them wonders! All was good during warmups - no complaints. I haven't been that geeked up for a race in quite a while. My HR was 130 just standing there at the starting line.
The first mile is mostly all uphill (226' for the 2nd half mile). I decided to attack this whole mile since I'm fresh and would have time to somewhat recover on the 2nd mile which was mostly downhill. I settled in nicely and felt OK, but not great. I was definitely working harder than I wanted, but still running strong.
We keep climbing until 1.2 or so, we turn right and hit some beautiful downhills. Some of them are too steep to let it flow - you just have to run with the brakes on. I was jockeying with a guy and a woman from here on till the end. They'd fly by me on the start of a hill, and then fade at the top. I figured it had to kill their mentality to always see me come back at the top of the hill.
Mile 3 is pretty flat with a downhill finish, but does have 2 decent rollers that you have to watch out for. The 3 of us battled again, but this time after the 2nd hill, I dropped the hammer and left them. I was hurting really bad at this point and was digging deep to keep moving. I could hear the guy behind me still and just didn't want to get caught at the end. At 2.8ish we turn onto a gravel path that takes us to the finish. Its a gradual downhill, thank god. Luckily, I didn't get passed, but didn't run anyone down either.
I liked how juxt did his splits in 0.5mi increments instead of 1mi, so I set my watch to track the half miles. It also was a test for strava since beer30 mentioned that it didn't work. Good news beer - it worked! Just set your watch to training - laps - distance - 0.5 and strava will have the splits for you.
0.5mi splits:
1 - 3:05/174
2 - 3:13/183
3 - 3:17/185
4 - 3:08/184
5 - 3:20/191
6 - 306/191
0.1 - 0:35/192
Total time 19:44
I'm floored I was 2 seconds off of my PR on this course and the shape I think I'm in. It is without a doubt thanks to my changed diet and being 4# lighter. So awesome. I'm surprised that the last half mile was also the 2nd fastest. I was hurtin' at that point and didn't feel like I was going that fast.
Looks like they figured out the timing issues after we left... They have me at 2/32 AG and 22/707 OA.

Nice run Ned! I think I'll try that .5 splits next time.
Went out for my first run since my HM last Saturday. Gf wanted to rollerblade with me so I packed up the 1 year old in the jogging stroller and we hit a nature preserve near my house. About 2 miles in I felt a twinge in outer butt cheek and about .5 mile later in the other. Never felt that before so we went back to the truck. Not sure if I wasn't fully recovered (legs felt fine by Wednesday) or if it was the extra 40-50lbs I was pushing around that caused it. Probably both.

Great work, Ned!
Plan today for me was to do some long intervals around the track. I was thinking 3 x 1 mile with 400m RI
Start out pretty well...
1- 5:48 (193)
But I jogged out the RI a little quick and started my next repeat and shifted gears to 2 x 800.
2- 3:00 (190)
3- 2:54 (192)
Got a solid rest with a walk around the track and then attempted one last 1 mile repeat to salvage the workout.
1- 5:44 (196)
I need much more work on my long repeats. I think I just get a little aggressive early and get my heart rate too elevated to complete the work out as it should be run. Probably need to make mile repeats closer to 6:00. Any suggestions?
