Now says 25 degrees, 18 dew so 43!  I did a fair number of runs above 150 this summer :wub: Alabama

And four years ago I did a 10 mile race at SI 14.  Also Alabama!   :thumbup:

 
Awesome @Brony! Hopefully this is the guy that can solve your problems.

 I give you a ton of credit for going the links you have to pursue this hobby.  I'm sure I would have given up long ago.  It would be absolutely fantastic to see you eventually be able to train without injury (or, at most, with only the normal aches and pains that all of us 40-something year old runners will have.)  Hopefully we'll run another race together someday!

you know what sucks?  20+ mph westerly headwinds for a couple miles.

Maybe I'm just weird, but I love, love windy weather.  A bit back I did a run at 25 degrees or so with 15-25mph winds.  On the way back (along the highway) I spread my arms and tried to fly.  You'd have thought I looked like this for all the looks I got.  

So much fun.

Yeah, who doesn't like running with the wind at their backs?

You've been working on your abs, I see.  #howyoudoin

It looks like snow running season is starting here tomorrow and my lunch run today looks very similar to what you ran in last night.  I'm thinking get the into the wind portion out of the way first...

 
Brony, good to see you back at it.  Good luck.  I know you have been through a lot.

FUBAR, 25 degrees will be fine.  Good running weather!

Agreed, agreed.

I'd call 45 the ideal temp.  When the temp rises or falls from there, it starts to have an effect.  A 15 degree swing (so 30-60) has little affect.  Another 10-15 degrees beyond that makes ya work more.  Beyond that, it's miles for the sake of miles more than anything.

definitely. got a taste of the snow on Monday. ran on a trail that's mostly shaded by trees. had to slog through some snowy portions. a good warmup for next week after we get (allegedly) 4-6" on Sunday

Thanks Juxt!  Hopefully I can be back out there in earnest in the spring.  I guess I must love running, or really despise indoor HIIT and strength training to go through this.  Probably a little from Column A, a little from column B.

The North Face 50M Championship took place last Saturday here on the trails of Marin, with a ridiculously deep men's field (largely thanks to being one of only a handful of MUT races with prize money with $10K for first and $4K for 2nd).  Zach Miller has risen to the top of the sport the past few years, and his racing style is to go out as hard as he can and try to hang on.  His first couple of races people let him go because they figured "who's this guy, he'll come back to us".  He won those races.  So now, every race he's in sees a chase pack trying to stay with him which makes them so fun to watch or follow.  He's blown up a couple of times, mostly at 100M distances, but more often than not the result is a win and CR.

Anyway, you can read the recap of the race at iRunFar if you want, but the tl;dr is that Zach had a one minute lead with about 3 miles to go and ended up winning by two minutes in 5:56:03.  Take three minutes to watch him run this thing in.

Zach runs with a cheapo Casio watch so no data for him, but the 2nd place guy is on Strava.  Insane to look at those splits over 50 miles, especially the uphills.

had meant to look up the course... good gravy- that's not just the headlands. and running up the matt davis from stinson? yikes! the whole freaking course is either going straight up or straight down.

Yeah it's a beast of a course.  Something like 10K' of gain when the highest point of the race is under 2,000' means you have to be going up and down pretty much the whole time.

there's possibilities for flat(ish) running on top of ridges... but looks like they bailed on that idea. wow.

just inputted a couple of my old sausalito favorites into mapmyrun... looks like they were both 6ish with 1-1.3k elevation. worst part was the start- from my folks' house up a long flight of public stairs and then straight up to the top of wolfback ridge... steep. no time to warm up.

Miles 30-32 are unreal.

Yup, the Dipsea Trail out of Stinson Beach.  I was signed up for the Quad Dipsea (28ish miles) Thanksgiving weekend, which would have had me doing that section twice.  But I knew my training hadn't been consistent enough since Cascade Crest so I withdrew from that a couple of weeks out.

oh- so it was the dipsea out from stinson... which means the matt davis down? either way- brutal.

guys I used to play soccer with used to do the quad dipsea- a stange, nutty world you've gotten yourself into. 

 
Good luck FUBAR. The running gods have not been kind to many in here lately, we're due! Run like a ####### boss!!  :hifive:

 
FUBAR said:
As for the plan?  It was to BQ. Start at 7:15 pace for the first 20, which would mean I'd have to maintain 8 for the last 10k.  

Now, that's still the hope but I'm not as gung-ho.

He is looking good.  Ahead on his pacing and he leaves a nice buffer for the last 10K.
