4 Mile Run
Who: Alone
What: 4 Mile Run
Where: Planet Fitness Downingtown
Technically it was a 5 mile run on the chart. I am altering the deal. Pray I alter it no further.
Cardio-wise, I was fine. Even my toe, which I complained about previously, was okay, though the sock was again red. (And [...]
7 Mile Tempo Run
This post is subtitled: Can’t Sleep, Clowns Will Eat Me
Who: Team Challenge Group
What: 7 Mile Tempo Run
Where: Kelly Drive, Philly
It was supposed to be a 10k race by the training chart, but there simply aren’t any local 10k’s going on so we did a group tempo run, which should be similarly [...]
45 Minute Crosstrain
Who: Alone
What: 45 Minute Crosstrain (Elliptical)
Where: Planet Fitness Downingtown
This is not meant as a brag. I swear. I’m as amazed as you are. But after doing so much running, I feel like I could go forever on the elliptical. I did 45 minutes for crosstraining and didn’t feel [...]
5 Mile Run
Who: Alone
What: 5 Mile Run
Where: Planet Fitness Downingtown Treadmills
Nothing really to report. 5 miles indoor on the treadmill, though it was warmer today and I might have been able to do it outside if I had really wanted to do so. But it was late, dark, and I just wanted [...]
10 Mile Run (!!!)
Who: Alone
What: 10 Mile Run
Where: Schuylkill River Trail, Valley Forge start
When: Saturday
I’m really bad about posting on the weekends, aren’t I. Sorry about that. But here I am on Monday posting about my longest run to date, and the first double digit mileage.
First, the important thing. I did [...]
5 Mile Run (Pace)
Who: Alone
What: 5 Mile Run (Pace)
Where: Planet Fitness Downingtown
Did 4 miles at 8:27 pace and a 5th at sub-8. I would’ve thought that was crazy at the start of this.
That’s all.
4-5 Mile Recovery Run
Who: Alone
What: 4-5 Mile Recovery Run
Where: Outside, at night, at dark, in the cold
Confession time. I skipped yesterday’s run. As I have posted about before, I have an extra challenge when training that I sometimes have to deal with. I’ve been lucky recently and have been pretty healthy overall, [...]
4.5 Mile Run
Who: Other gym people
What: 4.5 Mile Run
Where: Planet Fitness Downingtown
Hey look, second post of the day!
Nothing much to say about this run. Inside, on a treadmill. Looking at flatscreen monitors and listening to the Killers. It’s probably as good as a treadmill run gets. At least I felt [...]
9 Mile Run
Who: Team Challenge Group
What: 9 Mile Run
Where: Valley Forge Park
When (Because I’m only putting this up on Monday): Saturday, November 29
This run felt so much easier than the 7 mile tempo run. I know, that’s probably part of the point, but wow what a difference. Go check that post [...]
8×400 Repeats
Who: Alone
What: 8×400 Repeats
Where: Outside in the dark. It’s a little warmer today.
There’s a part of me that enjoys these speed workouts. And unlike the tempo runs, they are usually over sooner than long runs. I suppose if I said they feel almost like a break I’d be admitting [...]
