Ok....shtick over.

Was having some fun as @ChiefD was coming into town and decided last minute to run the race with us.  We had so many options that we went through to figure how to shtick it up and having him pace my wife was what we ultimately decided.

Anyway, as you can see on Strava, he ended up running with us.  I'm posting mine now as well.  3 of us ran together for most of the race.  I stayed with my wife for 10 miles, slightly faster than 8:15, and then she decided she was feeling good and crushed the final 5K.  I felt great for the first 10 miles and my legs were a little tired at the end and just wasn't interested in entering the pain cave so I just held on just a little faster and finished fine.

As mentioned, her final time was 1:45:43, good for 3rd in her AG and last 3 miles all faster at 7:57, 7:30, and 7:25.  I came in at 1:46:33, good for 10th in my AG and felt good.  Chief finished a little afterward but was awesome hanging with us to start and we got to chat for the first several miles which made it awesome.

Absolutely beautiful day to be outside, winds got a little tough miles 8-10, but overall nothing to complain about.  My wife is thrilled and got all the reassurance and confidence she needed.

7:25 for the last mile! Awesome stuff Mrs. @gianmarco. I hate you @ChiefD.

Awesome, now convince her the goal for Jack and Jill is too soft.

Good luck and if I dont hear back from you I will avenge your death.

:lmao:

All she needs is the BQ.  3:45:00 should get her there (3:50:00 - 5 min correction).  She can get past mile 20 and go crazy if she wants, but 8:35 pace is what she's doing from 1-20.

Just try to convince her to go for 3:42 or so. This way she has some contingency to work with the last few miles for when things inevitably start falling apart over the last few miles.

I do not like this “banking time” idea. Not at all.

It isn't banking time. It's running to your fitness instead of an arbitrary number.

If she stays consistent with her training and keeps building mileage, I think she can run 3:45 without a bonk. I know it’s not PC to say, but it’s a lot easier for women to qualify than men.

I think it takes multiple efforts to know what you need to do in order to prevent yourself from bonking. The first time through is a leap of faith.

Yeah...today was the tail end of back-to-back unproductive runs, with a V02 Max drop.

I'm taking tomorrow off and I'm thinking of doing easy runs Saturday and Sunday...maybe just one long run.

Did 10+ today and it felt better...like my typical end of week long run.  The second half felt better than the first.

My training status is still unproductive.  I'm not exactly sure how that is calculated, but I'm guessing it's still mainly a carryover from my runs on Wednesday and Thursday.  I'm taking tomorrow off, putting me at 10 fewer miles this week than last and 6-7 fewer than the prior weeks.  Back at it next week. 

Hopefully this drop in mileage gets me back in the right direction...but my first workout next week is a 4x1.5 at hmp-10 (likely monday) which I'm a little worried about after all this.  

I know that I've been aggressive on my goal for this training...and several workouts have been a challenge, and if this next one sucks, it's going to mess with me more mentally than physically (I know I can readjust, but I also know how I will react).

Time to buckle in and push forward.

You'll be rested and ready to eff up that interval workout. 

 
Can the person who strava’s outside of Annapolis, MD PM me?  My niece at the academy is taking up triathlon and looking for bike routes.  Tia!

From nyrr just now:

On the continued recommendation of the NYC Health Department, there have been no major scheduling changes to any of our events and programs, including the United Airlines NYC Half. We will continue to monitor this rapidly changing situtation and encourage all runners to respect others by following appropriate health guidelines while ensuring they are well enough to participate.

Cuomo just declared state of emergency for NY. New cases popping up in the city.

The half is looking unlikely, imo.
