I killed my pushup today.
Huh...I'm doing it, but hadn't thought about aid for it at all. Been doing all my running without anything, but not sure if I push towards race pace (and I haven't even tried that since that ridiculous 5k) how much I'll need at least some water, let alone a gel or something. Might dust off the fuel belt this weekend.
None, unfortunately.
When I do my planks, I divide it into thirds. First third right side plank, middle third front plank, last third left side planks. Works all the different muscles that way.
I think it's both easier and more effective. I do them instead of resting between sets of other exercises.
Hope non-regulars are allowed. If so I’m in.ChiefD said:2020 ChiefD Thankful For My Blessings Half Marathon
So, typical of myself I throw this idea out back in September and didn't follow up on it, but I am doing this.
The Saturday before Thanksgiving I will run a half-marathon of some pace to be determined. The goal is to just get out and do a nice long run and kickstart some fitness. Based on the original post, these folks showed interest:

Any one else want some of this? It's all for fun and just to get out and have a nice long run and hopefully some reports after.
Have you tried using LiveTrack on Garmin yet? We can try it tomorrow if you want. I know I read something about it not working with Apple before but that they were going to try and get it sorted.None, unfortunately.
But I’ll be wearing my Apple Watch with LTE, and a couple of the guys in here have my phone number, so if somebody wants to give me a call to see how I’m doing, as long as I’m not too deep in the pain cave (and assuming I have reception), I’ll try to answer.
Thanks for the motivation
You're missing the back plank (aka bridge).

Set your garmin by a window and turn it on to run and start locking in 5-10 minutes before you run.
I’d do warmup stuff/walk until it picked up but that would tilt me to have to wait that long. Or you could run a mile that you know is a mile to warm up and add manually and then track with watch thereafter assuming gps picked up in that time.
Go out and run your ### off until you are about ready to die. Add 5 beats and that's your top zone and work down from there.
My notebook is terrible, not sure which Garmin variant you have. But in the activity options you might be able to choose which satellite network you use. Mine gives me three options (GPS/GLONASS/GALILEO). Or some combination of the three. Might want to try different options there if you have them.
Actually, run your ### of until you're about to die (i.e. a hard 5K). Then sprint as fast as you can for 100m. Then add 5 bpm.
That might work. I normally don't carry my phone, but since I'll be wearing a CamelBak anyway, and with Mrs. G being 34 weeks pregnant, maybe I will this time. But doesn't that just give you location?
Nope. Gives you 1 mile splits along with HR, split pacing, live pacing, overall pacing...the works. It'll even tell me if you fart.
Probably not. Garmins really struggle to lock onto satellites when you're around tall buildings. I ran in Chicago this past spring, and mine (Garmin 245) wouldn't catch a signal until I was damn near at the lakeshore. Same thing last time I was in NY. Typically have to walk to Central Park or the greenway before it latches on.
Trial & error worked for me. I was near peak shape when I finally got a watch January this year, so I think that expedited the process but it took me about a month.
Yeah, this is what's crazy to me too. I don't understand how it works (wish we had some Drs. here). But I was running recently with HR in the 160's and felt completely fine. When I'm in shape, that's my HMP HR.
Just realized this is really close to what my doc had me doing when I had runners knee years ago. One foot on the ground, one leg up making t shapes. He said I could do it ### on the ground or in a bridge but the bridge would work more and better.
This. So this. Now ERs are run almost entirely below 135 for me. Yesterday, I ran 21K and my HR was 127 avg. If I get to 150, I'm really working. It used to be that 150 was just a given on a run -- even an easy one.
Stalking completed. If I do what I think I'm capable of doing based on current fitness, I think there's one guy who I'm gonna be battling. He ran a 50K on the same trails back on September 12 in 4:20:54 (8:24/mile). Then he turned around and ran a harder 50K on October 11, finishing in 2nd pace at 4:31:43 (8:45/mile). So if I can finish somewhere in the 4:20 range, I should be right in the mix.
I've never run in the 1080s, but I know they're popular. I run almost exclusively in the FuelCell Rebel.
I'm like you in that I don't consume anything during a training run. That said, I tend to stop at the aid stations during an actual half marathon as I think it helps cool me off and get rid of some of the pastiness in my mouth. I also usually throw a cookie or something in my pocket for those actual races at around the 7 mile mark. I know in some sense that is playing with fire, but my stomach is pretty tolerant of such things.
Been a fan of the Rebels too then tried the Rebel Echos and they were meh. Will see if I can find local or just take the plunge methinks.I've never run in the 1080s, but I know they're popular. I run almost exclusively in the FuelCell Rebel.
ETA: Just watched the video on the v11. Love the new knit upper. The Rebel has that, too.
If you don't have a view of the southern sky, go outside and try to find a spot that does. When I had an older Garmin, I would take it off and put it down on the sidewalk, park bench, etc. When you are stretching, walking around waiting for it to connect, its delayed because of the small movements of your wrist. Best to put it on a stable unmovable place for it to connect.
I'll try the window sill again (south facing). We have patio too, but it's at the bottom of a courtyard between buildings and facing north...don't see satellites reaching that.
Move to Kansas. It's lovely here and my watch finds the satellite in seconds. We could be running buddies.
I've done it in Manhattan. Put it up right next to the Newspaper rack or up close to a building or a light pole.
Doooooo it. And I'd be more than happy to bring you up to speed.
