Ran a 10k - Official Thread (4 Viewers)

[belljr]

so on my watch (galaxy 4) - i just use samsung health.

I've googled but couldn't find an exact answer - is there really any difference selecting walking vs running for my activity

 

[-OZ-]

It's so stupid, but the idea of just running 26.2 on my own as a long run in the next few weeks crossed my mind today. Just to show I can do it.

I can get on board with that, it will take me a few weeks to total 26.2.

Brah I'm at 14 total in like 2 weeks----- you'll get there with no problem

so during lunch - in my jeans and polo shirt. I took to our reservoir trail to do a brisk walk with a smidge of jog here and there.

3.1 - 47:27

I'm 99.9% sure I can do 45 no problem. I walked the entire last mile

Not sure if I'll try again tomorrow..... But I think my new goal will be below 40.......

But ...how was the polo shirt tucked in?

Had to laugh this morning scrolling strava. Y’all are awesome.
Then, other friends on the app - one of my favorite couples both posted 4 minute workouts this morning, left it as generic as “workout”.
I asked on his activity “who won?”
She replied “He finished, I didn’t”.

Boston cutoff 5:29

Sucks for those who beat the standard by a solid few minutes.

Also makes me think that I'm not trying for a BQ anytime soon. Even if I somehow get in under the standard, I don't think I'm in anywhere near the shape needed to throw down a 6+ minute buffer.

Getting a BQ doesn’t mean trying to run Boston. I have no intention to run Boston.
But then, also absolutely zero intention of running a stand alone road marathon again in this lifetime.

I hear you, although for me getting to run Boston is one of the main incentives to try to BQ at all.

 

[caustic]

Well, I’m becoming a bit concerned about my race. With all my leg issues I’ve only been able to run 25 total miles this month - I can tell that a lot of fitness has been lost. More concerning is that despite all this time off, I still can’t run a mile without my IT bands catching fire. Attempted another run this evening and once again had to shut it down immediately. I’m headed to my first PT appointment this week and hoping they can work some magic, because there’s not much time to spare.

We’ve got our boy @SteelCurtain on the wineglass pace detail this morning.

Only 70 right now. I understand why they cancel but it still seems so lame.

@SteelCurtain Another masterful job pacing today. Even worked-in a bio break and kept the group on-pace! Incredible.

 

[MAC_32]

Looking like 2023 is gonna be another lost year for me, but not for the same reason as the last 2. I got a new job, so I haven't been able to take advantage of the calendar's best running conditions and it doesn't look like it'll change til we progress to the winter is coming stage of fall. Gonna get what I can done through the first few weeks then reassess. While I miss racing I just don't have interest in doing one because of the shape I'm in. Gotta fix that before racing again.

Congrats on the new job, hopefully you'll settle in soon and get to enjoy the October training weather.

Tomorrow I hit the track for the first time in a while, for 5 X 600s, which shouldn't be too difficult but it starts a stretch where I plan on running 2 workouts a week for 3 weeks. Trying to recreate the success this month that I had back in October of 2015.

 

[Redwes25]

Signed myself up for a 10k at the end of October on Governors Island in NYC - so 4 weeks away. I haven't run that far in probably 15 years and I am mostly a biker but for last 5 or 6 months have been working on improving my fitness generally so have added running to my workout schedules. As for actually races I usually sign up for a 5K at least once a year and just run it without training but figured I would try something longer given I am in better shape right now and have been running more frequently.

While I haven't run that distance in ages I feel like I could do a 10k today if I wanted to so really don't have a true training plan. For awhile I was running once a week but last few weeks I have been running twice a week and figure I will keep that up until the race. Thinking I do like 3.5 miles once a week at a faster pace (one loop of park near me) and a longer run (5 to 6 miles) another day at my 10k pace which will probably be around 10 minute miles. I will likely bike another day of the week (20 to 30 miles) and try to fit in some other type of workout but don't think I will get out running more than twice a week. Course is also much flatter then my normal route which has fairly large hill on it.

First official training run starts tomorrow morning.

P.S. I am in the FBG Strava group already and I am the guy always going around the same park in Brooklyn.

Maybe may the longer run two loops at the park? Get acclimated to the longer distance so the 10K will feel short'ish in comparison. There's a benefit from the mental discipline, too, of starting/completing that second loop.

 

[MAC_32]

Thanks! We'll see how things evolve once I progress out of the onboarding stage, but I'm wary my lunch run days may be over, which will become especially problematic in about 5 weeks. I'll figure a routine out, but maybe not in enough time to gain any fitness before winter.

Yeah I was thinking a few of training runs would be over the 10k distance. I was just under 5.5 miles on a run last week but figure I didn’t want to enter race not having run that full distance yet but a double loop like you suggest makes sense.

Thank you sir!

it was 76 degrees at the end with a real feel up in the 80's. I was definitely grinding in the heat. Disappointed it was as hard as it was.

Getting ready for R2R2R with @gruecd and @Zasada next Friday. I feel woefully underprepared, but I'll do the best I can out there with these two rockstars.

NYC Marathon pacing gig awaits (and it needs to be 15 minutes faster than Wineglass) in a month.....

 

[bushdocda]

Been taking it pretty chill since racing and unwound a mess of hip flexor and low back tension at PT today to free up my movement that has been very locked feeling and low power. Feeling better already.
My weaknesses in the posterior chain seem to be the culprit of many of my issues from over active hip flexors and a less powerful stride.

Weights and volume build are the q4 focus and I’ll assess where I am over the holidays with regard to a January trail race and timing of 2024 marathon(s).

 

[caustic]

First PT visit was today. For better or for worse, they did not find any serious deficiencies in my gait. We have a few small things to work on - slightly stiff upper body, a bit of overpronation - but none of the typical red flags associated with ITBS such as a hip drop or crossover gait. The strength tests found that my hips, glutes, and calves were a little below optimal levels, but again nothing major. I apparently had the strongest toes they'd seen in weeks. They gave me some home exercises to target those weaker areas and told me to come back in 10 days. For now, the amount of pain-free running I can do continues to be zero. Was hoping for more of a breakthrough today, but hopefully this extra resistance training produces some improvement.

[Dr_Zaius]

Did some 6x400 workouts to try to get ready for some upcoming 5Ks. Last week's was fairly meh, but yesterday's was actually surprisingly strong. Of course, I similarly killed an interval workout in November 2021 and proceeded to brain cramp my way into screwing up the Turkey Trot, so who knows? In the meantime, trying to think of a good costume for the Halloween one in 2 weeks. Leaning hot dog.

I'd just do a regular hot dog as it's probably easier to run in.

I'm two weeks out from my half marathon so the training at this point is basically in the bag. Maybe just one more time running fast but not for too long.

I can't complain with where I'm at. Last week I ran 13.1 at about PR pace plus 30 seconds (with a negative split) and I ran 8 at PR pace yesterday. I'm comfortable that I'm in the cardiovascular shape to PR. However, it's just so fatiguing to run that fast for that long. To that end, I'm taking two days off work before the race so I get a total of three days before the race to sleep, relax and try to get my muscles relatively loose. I definitely going to make a PR attempt.

 

[Zasada]

Boom. Incredible the next goat.
