Depending on what device you're using, you can record on your native app (for me, Garmin or Wahoo) and that will upload to Strava with the metrics available on your device.

September
46 Workouts, 66 hours
Running - 39 hours, about 200 miles
Lifting - 3 hours
Stretching - 30 min
Circuit Training - 7.5 hours which would include treadmill, indoor bike, lifting, and stretching/yoga
Multisport - 16 hours which would include treadmill, indoor bike, lifting, and stretching/yoga
Probably 220-225 total miles on the month when the treadmill is included. That's definitely a PR and the 66 hours is also a PR.
Taper time!!!

I know you are like me and hate to stretch but I would advise making stretching a little more than .008% of your exercise routine.

Fair. I still think there are more efficient means to injury prevention than stretching, but I get your point.

Actually it’s become a staple and is buried in the multi sport and circuit categories. Easily got in 6-8 hours.

I’d love to hear some options other than stretching for my back - I’ve been told I have extremely tight back and hamstring muscles and I’m not sure what else to do other than stretch them.

Ran that last half in them. They seem fast to me. Guy at the store today says they been selling better than the next%. In his opinion not quite as fast but 2-3x durable.Also

Since others are posting their mileage I figure I would - mine is a little inflated from a couple of long hikes but 123.5 miles for the month - I’ve been pretty consistent around 30 miles a week for a while now. There’s basically no chance I can get to 1,000 without risking injury but I’m hoping to get close to 800 for the year. Considering my knee issues I’ll be really happy with that.

That all fits my understanding as well. The Hokas are more durable - and less expensive - while the Nikes are lighter and possibly 'faster.' I looked at some reviews after your carbon X post, and I've already planned to do what one reviewer said about the Nike Vaporflys ...use them selectively for a few training runs, run the race, then put them back in the box. With one more short training run to go, I'll have 60 miles on my Vaporflys, and 86 miles after the MCM. Then they literally go back in the box until winter training, 2020/21.

I like it
I already reserve one pair for tri races. Nothing special about them but they're my lightest and easiest to slip on in a hurry. That's pretty much the only way I could justify the vaporfly

I need to start doing this. Every time I go to replace my shoes, they don’t have that model anymore and I have to try out a new one.
It would be much easier if I could buy a few that work and put the nicest ones in boxes for race time.

For the first time since I aggravated my ankle injury 3 weeks ago I ran more than a mile... 3 whole miles, lol It was through gritted teeth and I’ll be limping a bit tomorrow but yay!
gonna see how I feel tomorrow... do a mile and maybe another 3 on Thur... with the goal of ramping back up and start doing some meaningful training with a month to go before NYC

Standard disclaimer- what works for me may not work for you, but when my back is stiff (which is kinda frequently) this is my usual strength training routine - single leg romanian deadlift, stability ball chest press, medicine ball squat and throw, lawnmower's, saxson side bend, and dumb bell shoulder press. The objective of all that is not to just work on my back, but everything that supports it too. And 9 times out of 10 I feel great once this is done then have a great run next time out. There are at least dozens of anecdotal rabbit holes I considered going down when I read your post though. So the real answer is probably more complex than that.

Haven't run in a few days; just tired of that beat-up feeling. It's weird how some days my body feels great, then randomly I wake up feeling like I played a 90min soccer game. 2 weeks in a row I bailed on my long run due to feeling like crap.
Finally got out with the mtn bike crew last night. I didn't realize just how much I loved being out on the trails until last night; god I missed this stuff. We are fortunate that our state park has a night use program. Riding trails with lights is insanely fun.

My lower back and piriformis are a chronic issue for me, too. And my hamstrings are so tight that it's almost comical. I've been thinking about trying to work yoga back into my routine, even if it's just once or twice per week. With 6-7 runs and 3-4 gym sessions per week, I'm not sure I could manage much more than that.

It doesn't have a full carbon fiber plate like the VaporFly or the Carbon X, but I just ordered a pair of New Balance FuelCell Rebels.Just ordered a pair of carbon Xs in a 14.

From what I'm reading there are a number of opinions which state the carbon plate is more of a gimmick and the real performance boost comes from the foam used.
I just passed 800K (500mi) on my On Cloudflyers. Trying to decide what I'm going to go with next. The Cloudflyers are super light and still springy, but tend to pick up gravel in the big sole gaps which is annoying.

Like I said, my mind went down several different anecdotal rabbit holes. @ChiefD was right when he said I enjoy the minutia. I may not think I do, but my actions say otherwise. The tl;dr answer is 'something different than what you are doing right now.' The what can be anywhere between simple and complex and you may not find the right ingredients until after you fail multiple times.

Nice. Didn’t know of the NB shoes@gruecd linked. Will have to get to a shop sometime soon to seen the new stuff and try on. Just saw some Saucony tweet about new lighter foam tech coming into their next wave of shoes that I’ll be all over.
Shoe related, I’m going to hold off on trying the @JShare87 vaporflys which fit well until later in october when I’m further into this cycle and back from a week at Harry Potter & Star Wars land. Will need to see if I can get an easy and a couple tempos in and feel comfortable about them. The increase in drop should be better than if it were a decrease. Other factor is crushed trail portion of marathon course may limit the % of awesome - so they may get to wait until spring racin.

The NYT did a great study and it "allegedly" is too soft a statement. The speed increase is notable and statistically significant.

From a "want my money/make me think they make a difference" perspective? Totally. From an actual performance boost perspective? Probably not.gianmarco said:
