I have thoughts, in my next Boston cycle, of traveling a couple hours south from Chicago on some weekends to get long runs in warmer climates.  The other option is to drive a couple hours north to run in grue's Pettit Center (~ 55 degrees).

Are treadmills THAT bad? 

 

[gianmarco]

Are treadmills THAT bad? 

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

I mean, i don't even get in my car and drive a few minutes to go for a run except every once in a while. I probably should do that more?

 

[MAC_32]

Are treadmills THAT bad? 

Nah, they're much. much worse.

 

[MAC_32]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

I mean, i don't even get in my car and drive a few minutes to go for a run except every once in a while. I probably should do that more?

I'm reminded of that day gianmarco tried to run on a treadmill.  I could hear his teeth grinding all the way in NE Ohio.

 

[SFBayDuck]

Does Degefa hold on?

Unless they decide to keep running for about 28 miles, I don't think there's enough race left for her to be caught. 

 

[SFBayDuck]

Nah, they're much. much worse.

 

[SFBayDuck]

C'mon Jordan, fight for that podium (and Go Ducks!).

 

[Juxtatarot]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

I won't do this either.  I'm much too lazy.

 

[gianmarco]

Degefa is hurting but I think she holds on. But man, that gap is closing.

 

[SFBayDuck]

C'mon Jordan, fight for that podium (and Go Ducks!).

@gruecdslowed down a bit between the half and 25k mat, 1:49:14.  The next 5 miles are tough.

Yep, just now was the quad check.  Then the climbing begins.  Hopefully he was just in conservation mode aver that last 5K 

 

[ChiefD]

@SteelCurtain at half in 1:35:26. Average pace of 7:17.

 

[pbm107]

Hopefully he was just in conservation mode aver that last 5K

I hope that's the case.

 

[ChiefD]

Anything under average pace of 7:26 is a PR for SteelCurtain.

 

[ChiefD]

Anything around 7:21 is his B goal. Anything around 7:12 gets him his A goal.

 

[ChiefD]

I'm getting zero work done today. 

 

[BassNBrew]

Does Degefa hold on?

Yes

 

[gianmarco]

Crazy finish in men's elite.

 

[SFBayDuck]

Crazy finish in men's elite.

That was awesome.

 

[mr. furley]

today will be the first day since about October of last year where i get to run in normal conditions

no snow, no rain, no ice. it's not -30. there aren't 35 mph winds blowing. 

today is the day i get hit by a runaway deer or a truck crashes in front of me and spills thousands of ball bearings directly under my feet and i slip & stumble in to a sewage drain. i know it.

forgot it was Boston marathon day go team!

 

[SayWhat?]

DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG!!!!

 

[MAC_32]

I'm getting zero work done today. 

My drafts have been saved since Friday.  I'll start sending them out sometime after lunch.

7:48 for that 5K is worrisome.

Yeah.

 

[pbm107]

Yeah he is in the pain now, it just sucks. He isn't alone, most of the guys I am following today are having a tough day.

 

[gianmarco]

10k more for @gruecd.

Bring it home, you beautiful beast!

 

[ChiefD]

C'mon @gruecd. Hang in there. 

 

[BassNBrew]

Current Est

Gru - 3:09:47

SC - 3:11:14

Whoa

Gru - 3:09:47

Find him, steel. Then go with him, grue.

 

[Ned]

Whoa

What dreams are made of.

 

[ChiefD]

@gruecd hurting bad now. Hope he's ok and brings himself in healthy. 

 

[Zasada]

@gruecd hurting bad now. Hope he's ok and brings himself in healthy. 

Yeah, 9:39/mi in the last mile.  He's gotta be shutting it down.  Hopefully not due to injury and just the conditions.  I can only imagine how tough a race this is.

 

[Zasada]

Whoa

Wow.  

 

[ChiefD]

Holy #### @gruecd rebounded. Get you some!

 

[MAC_32]

I'm sure he's in a dark place right now.  Especially since he didn't perform how he wanted at Carmel.  Whenever he reads this sometime later today or tomorrow, it's okay to be pissed off about this for a while...but you will bounce back from this.  

 

[MAC_32]

Holy #### @gruecd rebounded. Get you some!

Wait what the ####

 

[BassNBrew]

SC dropped a min in the last 5k.  3:12:47 predicted.  Will be getting a bunch of info soon.

Well, his 35K split said 8:27 pace. 

 

[ChiefD]

Maybe he walked some at mile 21?

 

[BassNBrew]

Holy #### @gruecd rebounded. Get you some!

Wait what the ####

Wonder if he stopped to take a dump in that last section.

 

[mr. furley]

for those who have run this race before, is it mentally taxing to run on essentially the same road for that long??

 

[BassNBrew]

Maybe he walked some at mile 21?

Could be the mats are exactly right over these short sections or they are right in the middle of hills.  Even if they are right, something like tying your shoe could impact your pace over such short timing sections.  I can't fathom upping your pace by 12% this late in a race as a normal course of action.

 

[pbm107]

SC dropped a min in the last 5k.  3:12:47 predicted.  Will be getting a bunch of info soon.

He's holding up fairly well through these hills.
