Doggo's bday is tomorrow (4/20) so we're gonna drive up to a preserve and go for a walk on the boardwalk. Then come back home for some doggie yogurts and I'm gonna fill up the kiddie pool in the yard.Who's doing anything fun this weekend?
oh yes, the urge to email clients 'happy holiday' with my replies is strong lol
happy holiday!
50k Good stuff brotha.On a good day, when I'm trying, I can do like an 8:15 mile. But I rarely run speed days anymore and I just tend to maintain a 10:00 to 12:00 minute pace on my weekday maintenace runs.
My best 50k is an 8:12:56 with about 4,000 feet of elevation gain. That time was about 50 minutes faster than the last time I had done that even a couple of years prior.
Yeah, I think I've done 3 or 4 of them at this point. Always lose my big toenails afterwards. Working on that little problem to hopefully go farther in the future haha. Longest was 32 miles in an 11 hour endurance event.50k Good stuff brotha.
Look into Jeff Galloway's Run/Walk/Run and come up with a plan. Use a watch or app to make you take walk breaks. I still do this on my long runs after 10 years of running. I target a 11:00 to 12:00 minute pace and run 0.90 miles and take a walk break of 0.10. At this point, I can pretty much do that all day long (until my IT band tightens up or prior mentioned toenails get angry haha).Am trying to slooooooowly ramp up my running load. Think this is year 3 or 4 of me saying that. Went too far, too fast, too quickly every previous year and ended up with terrible shin splints.
I weigh too much, for how fast my brain wants to go. Soon as I get off the treadmill and start running outside, I have a really hard time keeping my pace down. I need to be around 13 or 14 min/mi probably to avoid injury at this point, and tend to naturally push towards 9ish min/mi. Haven't come up with a good way to slow myself down outdoors.
May also be due for new shoes, now that I'm thinking about it.
New shoes will def help... especially if you have issues with the impact of running on hard surfaces. Get some poofy ones to mitigate that. Try to run on dirt/grass/nothardsurfaces too... it really makes a difference.Am trying to slooooooowly ramp up my running load. Think this is year 3 or 4 of me saying that.

This. Hoka max cushion are like running on clouds. I replace my shoes every year or 300 miles, whatever comes first. I usually have 3 or 4 pair in rotation to make them last longer and for various surfaces.New shoes will def help... especially if you have issues with the impact of running on hard surfaces.

I'm notoriously bad at warming up pre-run haha.Have you exercised your lower leg muscles? All the tib muscles? Do you make sure to warm up before a run?
I did spend quite a bit of time transitioning to more of a mid-foot strike. Full toe running takes a long time to adapt to. Zero drop shoes can help as well, but you need to transition to them because it takes a while for your achilles to stretch.Also, do you run on your heels? It puts a lot of strain on your shins. So probably not the best.
Mine eventually went away on their own once I started to hit like 20-30 mile weeks. Not sure if that is typical, but I just sort of beat them into submission haha.I know I'm yapping, but there's lots of factors that can contribute to shin splints...

None of that sounds fun.
- Board of Director's meeting for my undergrad alumni association
- Run somewhere between 8-10 miles
- Bleed some air out of my mountain bike brakes so I don't die
