RE: Describe Your Running Today

I would guess that some people (definitely not all) who are bumping this thread are actually attempting to have this thread deleted or at least abandoned, but some people do care about a thread that discusses the training that others are doing (as crazy an idea as that might be on a running discussion board!). Even if there are not replies to every post doesn't mean that it's not interesting to read about the whats, wheres, whys, and hows of everybody's running.

Thank you for your response "soon to be dietitian". I know that Vitamin C hasn't been proven to be effective once one actually has a cold, but I was suggesting these vitamins in the hope that Skuj was actually just feeling run down and hopefully hadn't caught a cold yet. However, I've read a number of articles that support the suggestions I've made concerning these vitamins (as far a prevention in concerned). There are a couple of articles from Frank Horwill's site (http://www.serpentine.org.uk/advice/coach) and here is another that I just found:

http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/9892/how_to_enhance_your_immune_system.html

If these are giving misinformation could you point me towards some articles that will give me some more recent info?

Ownage!

Thanks Jerry.

I'm quite certain that I know who the one main detractor is in this thread. I have learned, very slowly, to simply ignore. Ironically, every jealous / stalking taunt he makes bumps the thread, hahahaha.

I feel a bit better today. I had to switch workshifts with someone. Maybe I'll begin running on June 1st, one month before The 5th Street Mile. There may be an 800m in Nanaimo on June 10th, if I feel like it. I'll call it "good training". Even if it is at desired 1500m/Mile pace, I won't despair.

Out late on Saturday, so nixed Sunday 8K - Epp uncontested by a minute in 26:13, which must have irritated him. You get up early and then there is no competition. I did a 10K tempo in 33:55 instead in the afternoon. Easy 8 in the sun yesterday. 1000's planned for today. A 10K race on tap for Sunday, although once again we will be going out on Saturday night, so we shall see. It'd be nice to race once before my goal 5K coming up. I've become a runner who always trains but never races.

I'm gonna do some 1600m repeats on the track today at 5k race pace.

The guy I'm doing this workout with wants to do 600s after the mile repeats. I probably won't. He's in better shape than I am and I think he just likes to stick it to me on the track.

10k tempo in 33:55? Just how fat and old are you? :)

Sorry for the repetitive bumping (any moderators who may see this) but I find threads tend to get buried & hard to retrieve if they aren't bumped up. This is a good thread & I don't want to lose it.

Of course I could always go through the search link or copy/paste the link on to a word doc. but too plain lazy to :)

Hey, Vic! You've been busted!

I wasn't talking about vic and you know it.

PS: What really "busts" is the typical quoting of 2 other posters followed by a comment intended to confuse. It's so easy, and repetitive, and boring.

Well aside from the bumping & dumping so prevalent on this message board...my run terday:

Near 38 min. of continuous running including warm up for 8:21 (AHR 128); 6 solid pick ups; 1:29 (AHR 144) jog 1:10 (AHR 139), 2:08 (AHR 146) jog 1:22 (AHR 139), 1:21 (AHR 147), jog 1:23 (AHR 143), 1:56 (AHR 150), jog 1:33 (AHR 143), 1:19 (AHR148), jog 1:30 (AHR 145), 1:55 (AHR 154), jog recovery back 7:30 (AHR 140), pick up 1:51 (AHR 159), slow jog recovery to finish (AHR 137)

MHR during intervals was 164, was working them pretty hard.

WTF are you talking about? Did you, or did you not, say you knew who was doing the bumping? And didn't Vic admit to much the same? I could care less about any bumping, but you seemed to have a hair up your arse about it so I thought I'd call him out on it. It's not big deal, so get over it and your high self.

Oh busty, did you miss your run today? I thought this threasd was only going to be about our daily activity with our chosen avocation, not about who can flame the best.

Or am I missing something too?

If I'm not mistaken, the 5k time he's looking to match from last year is 15:52, so one would think he should have been able to run sub-33 for 10k on a comparable course.

Not to split hairs, but 15:51 would be last year's time ... okay, that is splitting hairs. Really, though, I'd like to be under 15:50. I'm sure we all agree that 15:49 is so much more pleasing than 15:50. Anyhow, yeah, I should be able to run a sub-33 on a comparable course, and I'll try for that on Sunday, if my wife and I can escape from a Saturday night dinner party before midnight, unlike this past Saturday (which caused me to miss an 8K and do the tempo effort instead - hence the lament about always training but never racing.) In reality, I wont be particularly tapered for the 10K even if I run it, so I'll take whatever the day gives me. Hopefully I'll be able to attack the course without lugging a hangover along with me (and I get hangovers after, like, 3 drinks these days.)

Damn, is JZ hammering or what? Say, JZ, what races are you gearing up for? Looks like you'll be going for low 14 and something around 29?

So, um, how old are you? :)

That JZ, he has done 13:56 5000m, 29:25 10000m, and 65:20-something Half, and 8:01 3000m and 3:44 1500m, and 1:51 800m. I think.

Explains the quality of his track workout...wonder what kind of marathon he could one day do?

If he was to do a marathon.
