Successfully resisted the temptation to run longer and stayed with the plan…short and easy. Did not time this run. Now, complete rest for two days….

4 days to LFM. Planned on fairly easy 4 miles today but (again) changed my mind and opted to insert 4×200m strides at about 5k pace throughout the run.
I was getting little concerned that legs are forgetting how to run fast so I gave them a little jolt.
The weather forecast for the race day is [...]

Yes…fall is here …temp in 50’s and 30-40mph winds. Today was a short run. Three miles easy. Funny thing, last time I ran this short of a distance was sometime in May. Seems like forever ago. The goal is to preserve energy for Sunday so this week runs are short. I feel ready but the [...]

I was planning to run 3 miles yesterday and 8 miles today, however, I went to my neighbor’s b-day party on Friday night and let’s just say…beer pong was a very bad idea.
So yesterday was a “recovery” day. I increased today’s run by two miles although I don’t think this makes any difference now one [...]

Easy miles. Planned to rest today and catch-up with some miles this weekend but sitting at my desk at work I could feel legs tightening up pretty bad. Just had to get out and loosen things up.

In the taper stage of training some runners complain of going through taper ‘blues” or going through training “withdrawals”. I seem not to have any of these symptoms and am very much enjoying reduced mileage.
For example, I noticed that I am still married to a wonderful girl and that we still have two awesomest [...]

This was supposed to be an easy run…nothing special, just a few miles in a taper week to keep it going. I made one mistake though…did not check the radar before I left (although not sure if I had any choice, as this was the only window of opportunity to squeeze the run in). First [...]

Planned to run 14 miles today but than decided to cut this back to 12, at the end, ran 13. Last spring when I PR’d for half marathon I ran only 4 miles the week before the race and about 15 two weeks before the race. I am debating if I should cut the mileage [...]

6xhill at 6:15 pace. 2 mile easy warm-up and cool-down. Right quad tight again just as I though I’m over it. Will need to nurse it to health over the next 2 weeks so we are going to run conservative.
