The route is a 4 mile loop with approximately 150 ft of hills rolling up and down each lap. We do 4 laps. Kyle and … Continue reading Hilly long run in Jensen Beach

An offhanded description of what I did and what I thought of during the run…
Today's workout was a 3 mile interval workout done two times on a hilly course. It was 70 degrees, which went well with my idea of running without a shirt. This run happens on the highway overpasses on Hood Road and Central Blvd. We start running from Alton neighborhood clubhouse down to a start point … Continue reading Getting Close
6mi - Today was an easy 6 mile run, a follow up to running a tempo workout yesterday. I ran a familiar route, on the hard cement sidewalks of PGA National. The big PGA Tour trucks are now in the park near my house, next week is the Honda Classic Golf event. Tents are setup … Continue reading Positively successful
Today is a Wednesday, the Hanson's Marathon Method's "off" day for runs. I like how it's placed in the middle of the two challenging speed and tempo workouts, the rest from Tuesday's effort and prep for the Thursday tempo run is appreciated. Last week I began swimming. The goal was to increase my lung use … Continue reading Doing what’s prescribed
I had three Hanson's Method SOS runs last week. Tuesday was running mile repeats at a 6:35 pace in 55 degree weather. That went well. Thursday was a set of two 4 mile tempo runs at marathon pace, separated by a mile recovery. That was done in 71 degree more humid weather. It felt considerably … Continue reading Fix it

5mi. Today was an important workout. The how-to recover from a marathon for me includes doing this Tuesday run to loosen up whatever was stiff and creaky, vs. allow my legs to be bound up for the rest of the week. I did receive an IV after the race, which restores lost fluids in a … Continue reading Bridge after race (again!)
Tapering as a part a scheduled running plan allows a trained athlete to rest for an upcoming event. All of the hard workouts have been completed, this time is purposely built into the schedule with low mileage and non-challenging runs. As an event approaches, the routine of: run, run, run switches to: rest, heal, and … Continue reading Defend Against the Stupid
5 mi. Today was a track workout. Our weather was good with a cool breeze coming out of the east. I did a slow warmup on Grandiflora Ave, my right side hip and glute area was not feeling right - too tight and slight soreness until I was warmed up. It felt good while running, … Continue reading Five and tree quarters
13.1 mi. I am 9 miles into this, it's very humid, and the sun is creasing the top of the homes I've been hiding behind. There are three people ahead of me, and two water stops left. This, however, is not what's top of mind. "How am I still in the hunt for an overall … Continue reading Half Stunned
