My sense is that they wouldn't want you traveling to another region to run. I.e., don't head down to infested Spain for the weekend and bring the virus back with you to France. I can't imagine that they're considering, for example, 5 miles vs. 10 miles from home ...more like, don't take a day-trip to go run in the mountains or along the coast.Harris said:
I've noticed. You're not the only one though. It's quite common. It's led to my not so subtle mentions of the offseason lately. The offseason isn't just about rest. Sure, a component of it is, but not necessarily a large part - the amount of rest just depends on how long that particular offseason lasts and where that person is mentally and physically at the time they enter the offseason. How each person figures out how to get the most out of that offseason is on themselves. There is no training schedule to use as a guide though.
Is this one of those not-so-subtle mentions for me to get back out there?
virtual relay race? I'm in! that would be kind of fun and give us something to do/look forward to! make the fast guys the captains and form up teams - then people record their piece on strava and add them up for the win!
I like it! Set a date (several weeks from now as an impetus for training?), see who wants to be "in," then let a couple of the guys pick teams. The fun thought is having gruec vs. Juxt as team captains ...
This sounds great but if it is going to happen anytime soon, I don't think I'll be able to participate. I am feeling much better since getting sick, but I think I need to be careful to not overdo it the next few weeks. Yesterday's 6 miler quickly became a 4 miler with a 2 mile walk home as I was working too hard at an easy pace. I am hoping to get in 4 after I am done my day working from home.
I was wondering more if his propensity for cheating helps or hurts his draft stock!
I went out for a quick one this afternoon, 7km. Was too nice outside not too. Super eerie with barely any cars on people. They raised the fine for not being authorized to be out to €135... Not sure that's worth a trip out cycling.
If the draft is televised or publicized in any way ala the NBA All Star game, I’m out.
Only for non-essential travel. I’m sure they’ll understand when you tell them you can’t possibly run in Texas. It rains down there! BTW, I’m in too. Surgery or not.In.
Not like I'm going to have much else to do. Border just got (effectively) closed to Canada, so no wifey and no mountains for me for quite some time.
Given where you're at physically ( :( ), we'd then need someone like @El Floppo to be in the draft as well to balance out.
It's not the "essential" part that will keep me from going back ("Mr. Customs Officer, have you tried running streets for two weeks consecutively?!?!?!"). It's the fact that I'm about to cancel all of my airline's flights to Canada based on the lack of demand, because of only "essential" travelers being able to cross. And all the other airlines will do the same.
I like to think of it as friendly, over-exaggerated ribbing.
As my wife said to me on our first date, easy there, Speedy Gonzalez. Part of the goal is to motivate folks to train for a while while all the races are cancelled. Plus, we don't know if the StL relay will be cancelled yet or not. I was thinking more like Memorial weekend.
Could be a monthly thing too, depending on whatever the hell it is you guys are talking about
Lol. I did get a little excited.
Or we could pick a Thursday through Sunday timeframe. Ppl could choose when they run it based on family, weather, work, Etc.
A multi-day set-up seems fine to me. And that'd be fun, getting some early returns and then waiting for the weekend runners (adding some pressure to those who wait). We could shoot for, say, May 21 (Th) - May 25 (M, Memorial Day).
I may be limited, but aside from my knee (and cardiovascular system), this may be the best shape I’ve been in for a long time. I have been hitting the weights hard (now body weight), eating clean, and my 6 friends that once lived on my stomach are all back. This 7th round sleeper may turn some heads with a sub 50 min 10K. Please pick me, someone.I like to think of it as friendly, over-exaggerated ribbing.
ETA: If JShare is limited to a ..slow.. pace due to his knee, we'd need another runner of similar speed to keep things even. I suppose if we want another banged up runner, then we should enlist @belljr.
