I've never researched this or really have no idea other than what I've done. I've taken Mucinex D Maximum Strength before to clear sinus issues before I have run. I believe I also ran a half last year when I got a bad cold the week before the race.
Not sure, especially if you are being chip timed.
I do it all the time with my wife and kids. ETA: I don't physically cross the line though. I'll peel off 20yds before, just to be safe (on the timing).
After a bunch of work I sort of got it to work. I first tried to combine 5 years, 3 legs each of the same ultra relay and it made a mess; likely because I do not start where I ended:
Yeah, I think I've been so successful in my last two races because I finally started doing that simple system - what I do every other morning. I'm just dragging ### due to this bug. It started about a week ago as I was recovering from that 10K. A lot of honey lemon tea, water, and sleep but still no energy. I don't want to do anything different, but I'm feeling like I may need to in order to find energy stores for Sunday.
5:18?! Dude, sign up for a 5K ASAP! You should crush your PR.The boys' soccer games were cancelled due to all the rain, so I made a split second decision to jump in a local 1 mile race this morning. Damn, now THAT was fun.
I'm not sure what the official time is, but my watch said 5:18. I sort of fumbled for the button, so I may be off a second or so. Man, do I have a lot of work to do on my anaerobic fitness.... My arms, shoulders, lungs, and stomach were ON FIRE at the end. :X :X :X
I sanded the hell out of it. My quarter splits:
0.25 - 72
0.50 - 81
0.75 - 82
1.00 - 82
Being that I haven't raced a mile in 18+ years, I'm geeked as hell. I have no idea what my old PR was back then.
I was thinking about this when I was cooling down this morning. Steve's goal HM pace is 4:59. Certainly puts things into perspective!!
Awesome work (you and your boy)!!! You post reminded me of something, for the VivoActive they just released a Homer J Simpson https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/0c61752f-0267-4a61-9b4e-7325044be706watch face. Its a crappy face, but the Homer thing is fun. If you sit too long Homer ends up on his back in a doughnut coma and you step total is shown on his face going from a frown to a smile as your steps progress.
So I knew I had fumbled around with stopping my watch, but damn! Officially a 5:12.4! 14/209 OA and 5/30 AG. Pretty friggin pumped!http://www.fusionracetiming.com/Websites/fusionracing/images/MSM2015_overall_results.pdfHang 10 said:Great job, Gator!

That is impressive, I hope you plugged that time into the mcmillan calculator.So I knew I had fumbled around with stopping my watch, but damn! Officially a 5:12.4! 14/209 OA and 5/30 AG.

Pish posh. You paced it perfectly.Ned said:
Awesome weekend guys! I'm off to run on the beach, vacation in Hilton head this week (school fall break).Gator ..Brony ..Ned - great job, guys!
I did one back in May, on a torn meniscus and almost went sub 10 minutes. The key seemed to be to limit the air taken in while drinking the beer. I did it by tilting my head back and pouring the beer out of the can. I also tried to drink the beers all in one shot. I made it through three of the four this way. The other thing I figured out in race is that I am quite capable of sprinting and burping (without puking). This hit around the outside of the first turn each lap. One more thing, exit transition right after you finish. I did not puke, but several did in transition right after they finished which resulted in a penalty lap. We had a blast. Be sure to bring a DD/photographer. These were some of the funnier pics of any of the things I've done. I can't wait to try again next year with a healthy knee.
I would think you wouldn't want the beers to be too cold. If trying to throw them down quick it's less painful for me that way.
The one I did we had to drink what they had. Lukewarm micro brew in a can. There was some Monty Python Meaning of Life :X going on.
So was I reading this, Shawn. Inspiring life transformation, with running a key part. Keep at it gb!
Love that feeling, Ned. I hope to someday hold your pace for a set of 200M intervals.
Sounds like an awesome event, Brony! Congrats on a great effort and result, especially considering what you've been dealing with physically.Brony said:
I remember doing this back when I started running, probably 10 years or so ago. Great feeling to be out there with so many people on that early morning. I don't remember much about it other than that I ran into the park and then ran around the reservoir. Have fun!
Knocking out a PR in a marathon! Well done, congrats. And hope you are deep into those "recovery beers" right about now.
Good on you! Really loving watching you guys post your training runs leading up to these amazing stories of success.
It can be frustrating but if you stick with it, it should pay off. Throw in some 7-10 second strides at the end of runs to keep that muscle memory intact.
Whoops, fixed. I couldn't copy/paste so typed it in.
