    The Running Thread--2024

    I forgot this was a thing. I’m not sure I 100% trust these paces but it at least matches which miles were slower/more difficult. Thank heavens on that steep one. It was a lung buster. I felt like I may have been able to walk faster by the time I reached the top. But I just kept trying to put in...

    I also have a vivoactive! Maybe this is reason to get a new watch 🙃

    I wonder if that’s watch dependent? It’s not showing on mine. ETA: Looks like it might be? https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=BAoTNwybG874OFTrWhzlq8#:~:text=Grade%20Adjusted%20Pace%20(GAP)%20is,your%20current%20pace%20at%20grade.

    Does anyone know how to calculate GAP for someone who is too creeped out by Strava to pay them money?

    Running Renaissance: Road to Paris 2024

    Maybe? I have no idea what the media coverage will be. All of my Girls on the Run team thinks they're going to see me on TV but I highly doubt it 🤣. Maybe a YouTube Livestream?

    I have run in San Juan but it was years ago so I don't remember the specifics. I'm sure it included the Paseo del Moro. When trying to find new routes, I always check out the Garmin heatmap to see where others are running. I believe Strava has something similar.

    Marathon Weekend 2025

    I rode everest this year and arrived about 10 min after early entry started (I.e. 20 min before official park open). I tried to go in the regular standby lane but was directed to the LL. My hypothesis is that early entry hours were allowed to use LL but once the park opened, runners were told...

    Marathon Weekend 2025

    I'm not the best at strength training but currently committed to two days per week. I do this on running days so that I can have off day(s). There's a lot of literature out there about when to do it ( off days, easy days or hard days) but the best advice I ever heard was to do your strength...

    POT (Proof of Time) Race Equivalency Cutoff Confirmed Times

    I wouldn't assume the corrals have changed based on the official pacers. With the cutoff so close, it's smart to move the pacers back. Someone could reasonably have submitted a time good enough for B but be chasing that 1:30 time. Likewise, someone in A could have a 1:30 goal and they would be...

    Running Renaissance: Road to Paris 2024

    The beginner series is 6 weeks long and then the same person has another set of videos that I haven't investigated much. I encourage you to give it a try! Since it's free, the worst case is that you don't like it and need to find something else.

    Oooh. I'll have to try to find it. I follow the women on insta but not the men 🙈. Whoops.

    Running Renaissance: Road to Paris 2024

    Road to Paris - Week 1/18 I'm going to Paris to run the Olympic marathon course! 😁😁😁 As noted here previously, I was notified that I won a bib on Friday, 5 April. So now what?? I reviewed the Hanson and Daniels books to examine their training plans. Neither really fit my needs/desires so I...

    Marathon Weekend 2025

    SAFD: I run year round so the training never really stops. I used to take big breaks when I didn't have a race on the calendar but I've learned how hard it is to start running again that I do my best to keep some mileage going. As far as what and when for this coming year, I'm not sure. Ask me...

    Marathon Weekend 2025

    I've stayed at All Stars a few times for race weekends. The food court is convenient and the busses are plentiful. This year we had a conjoining room and the neighbors woke me up when they returned from their park day. Definitely putting that in the room request this coming year!

    For some reason my browser was deselecting my race so I had to scroll back up, select the race again, and then the s shirt selection worked. First time that had ever happened.

    I'm in! I've got one queue link that keeps bouncing between more than an hour and 50+ minutes. First to DM me will get the link. ETA - It's been claimed!

    I think if you keep both tabs open, both stay active.
