Ran a 10k - Official Thread (2 Viewers)

Is there a runner tracking link for Carmel yet?  Was going to get that set up (now that you guys have bib numbers) but I can't find one.

 
Also was looking back at the results for the HM over the last 3 years. If I meet my goal of 1:45, that would put me finishing in the top 25 of my AG and in the top 250ish overall. As compared to where I finished in November, that would all be pretty awesome. 4 days! 

And today at work, I signed an offer to take a new position here in the office. Pretty stoked about that too. This waiting thing is as bad as Christmas when I was a kid!

Also, your cadence line looks really screwy.  I wonder how accurate it is because it's a lot more jiggly than others with a pretty wide range (as low as 100 and as high as 188.  But, I can't imagine it's THAT far off. 

You're just an enigma wrapped inside a riddle.

May just be my phone - I notice similar if I drag over my pace.  Total was almost exactly the same though.  We'll see what it does when I ramp up the effort.

 
Also, I've never once worried about my cadence (or my form, for that matter).  Not something I care to mess with.  :shrug:

My original plan was to take the shuttle to the start.  But if it's gonna be raining I think I'll leave early and drive my car over there so I can park nice and close and have someplace warm and dry to sit comfortably until just before the race.

So we can all ride with you and talk about our beets?

 
Whew ...looks like it's safe to return to the thread, now.  Weather-fretting and cadence-fussing seems to have settled down.   :unsure:   I'm still just putting in miles, though starting to think about a spring race of some sort.

Oh no, there will be much more fretting and fussing.

Even though I had my Ultimate Direction rain shell on, I used one of those before my 50K last month.  It was great, kept me drier and warmer than not having it for sure, and I just took it off and tossed it as I got into the start corral.

I think my plan is to bring two Contractor thickness trash bags. These things are 3MIL and would keep a wet honey badger out. 

Figure I'll stand in one and drape the other one over the top. I'll look like I'm wearing a condom but won't care. 

 
So I went for a run today. Here’s what was going on inside my head. I start off, lean forward, lean forward, but keep your core tight. That lasts for about 30 seconds. Then I say, what the hell am I doing out here. It’s 400 degrees and I’m trying to run, just turn around and go back home. Then I start thinking about how I should’ve drank some beet juice from the cabinet that’s been sitting there since 2017. My pace starts picking up because I can’t seem to run slow when leaning forward. Then I start thinking about road runner legs. Then I started to be thankful for the weather because of what our friends will deal with in Carmel. Then I’m like, I wonder what my cadence is. Then, I should incorporate some power like @MAC_32. All in all, I got in 2 miles, I turned my brain into a mental pretzel, and I realized you guys have some serious issues. Leg feels fine, hoping to contribute to team BMF in St. Louis. That’s all. 

 
Feb 6th run (cadence 161, HR 151, 9:49)

Today's afternoon run (cadence 178, HR 152, 9:07)

Now, I know there's a little over a month's difference in time and my fitness is improved and there's a 20 degree difference in temps (35 vs. 55).  However, same HR for the 2 runs but 0:42/mile faster.  Plus, the HR stayed more consistent and still finished under 160 whereas the 1st run kept creeping up toward the end.  Pacing was more even and consistent even with the hills on today's run.

I want to kick myself for not discovering/trying this for myself earlier.

This is one of my favorite posts ever. 

Glad the legs feel good. 

 
Ok.. coming around to the realization that we are going to get wet Saturday. But on the bright side, it's supposed to be about 50 degrees in the morning so it won't be a frozen rain!

It's nice the see the forecast now have the thunderstorms come through earlier and the wind a little lighter (11-12 mph).  Most rain is the first hour at .08 inch.  That's not too bad.
