My rough math during a really boring conference call says that Team Grue’s average time would be 45:31 and Team Juxt’s would be 45:52. Based on times submitted so far.
just put them all into excel, I got 45:31 for team grue and 45:18 for team juxt. I like those numbers better! that's a difference of 161 seconds total.
I tried this with Strava stalking a few weeks back, going by estimated bests and some guesses, assuming everyone ran:
oops... nevermind... just realized when you clicked the thinking thing that I typed in a 31:11 for juxt instead of a 37:11.just put them all into excel, I got 45:31 for team grue and 45:18 for team juxt. I like those numbers better! that's a difference of 161 seconds total.

I'll split the difference, to 43:43 (conveniently just below my age)tri-man 47 said:
I don't think you guys even realize the mistake you're making. Keep talking all that ####...
It could be a subconscious adjustment today, but possibly it was from running the very hard (and successful!) downhill'ish 5K. That continued descent at fast pace was probably driving your feet forward the entire time, and that could have pressured the toes, which manifested itself on a long run today.
It’s a really tough time for lots of places. My place lost $13 million because of COVID. We have a campus in Italy so our losses are higher than one would expect.
Yup. The pressure is always there for offices such as yours, but I recognize that it has ramped up due to the crisis. I've had very good communications with my advisees this week, but I still worry greatly about our overall enrollments (retention and new students) and financial health next year.
It's really tough times in so many industries. My (current) employer provides insurance for construction firms. Every day we hear stories about clients in financial trouble. One of my closest friends owns a small business (in suburban NYC) that is highly likely to shut down in May. He and his wife picked a really bad time to expand their business.
@gruecd I would suggest that if you want a chance of winning this competition, you might want to use your waiver wire priority to jettison me for SteveC
Retention will be a huge issue as well. Financial restraints will make tuition out of reach for lots of families.
Yeah, Sunday I had to shut down a run as it started, I took Monday off, and this morning I was still really sore. HR high for the pace as well. I never thought a 5K could could put that kind of enduring hurt on my legs, but apparently it can.
Running is 100% allowed in my city, so no concerns. Are there North American cities where it's not?
My goal in the fall is Monumental and I have my training mapped out which starts 7/6, but I not confident that it is even going to happen. Once marathon training starts it will be a challenge mentally, training for an event that might not happen.
I'm not even sure what my training plan looks like though memorial day.
If running is illegal now, you'd be better off putting your info on private or not uploading data. There's no privacy expectation when you're publicly sharing your information.
I'm quite schedule driven as well and at the moment with every triathlon and running race cancelled or moved, I've tried to refocus on the Paris Marathon (October 18) as my only race for the rest of the year. I've never done a 24-week training plan before but just to be able to have some structure for the rest of the year I'm going with a 24-week schedule from Pfitzinger's Advanced Marathoning.
I have my spring half that was rescheduled for August 29th (absolutely terrible time to have a half in KC).
I'm just keeping focused on what we are doing right now while also ensuring I'm hitting minimum benchmarks with volume - 50 mpw non-race weeks and something of consequence > 80 mins each non-racing weekend. I figure there's no sense in trying to forecast what Summer will be like - let alone Fall. So why put the time & energy into creating a training plan. I mapped out a timeline with Monumental in mind, but just that - I didn't fill anything in.
I kinda chuckled after my run yesterday. My HR was unusually low for that pace, especially given the 5K two days prior. But, the legs - still trashed. I think that's a good cardio sign, but probably driven more by perfect conditions (high 40's/sun) than anything. Hoping to be recovered enough for SoS Wednesday then get started on a mini 10K plan.
Wish I could say this, too. I had a voluntary DNS for the Houston Marathon in January, because I didn't want to jeopardize my training for Miwok (my top goal for 2020).
I think this may be more about cyclists and group rides. And/or Euro cities where there are limits such as what Harris has described.
I still use MapMyRun to plan out my routes. Their tool is easier to use than Strava's, in my opinion.
If you continue training for our 10K and mile, you'll be in excellent shape by 7/6. Maybe plan on some half marathons in September or October too? I think that's what I'll do.
I just can't see Boston being a "go." It's a worldwide event, and many countries are a month or more behind where we are at in terms of growth in cases, not to mention lack of resources to address the outbreak. The virus will be raging through the summer. Would Boston make it a U.S.-only event in September? That seems to be against the nature of the event.
There is a scenario where this breaks right for me, Broad Street was rescheduled to 10/4 so I could make a legitimate sub 60 attempt. I also have the Bourbon Chase in October so there won't be any half marathons for me. Who knows where we'll be by then.
What are the odds that Boston '21 is impacted by Boston '20? If this year gets canceled, do they just roll everyone over to next spring?
Absolutely love this!
This unknown is why I punted doing one in September to try and qualify for 21. I think there's a decent chance 22 is impacted as well, which is contributing to my lack of commitment for November.
I'm sure it would have quite an impact. If the '20 qualifiers roll over - which only seems fair to them - what percentage would still go? A high percent, I expect. But then you get the oddity of people shifting up to new AGs ...and runners (like me) who have already got our qualifier for '21.
A "benefit," I suppose, to all these cancelled races is that it limits the number of new qualifiers for '21. If '21 is heavily filled with the '20 qualifiers, there won't be much room for new entrants anyway.
