5mi. The drive to track took me a longer time than usual. Military Trail is being repaved between PGA Blvd and Donald Ross Rd. So when I'm driving up, there are partially blocked lanes, guys picking up street cones and I seem to hit every nonsense red light even if there's no one there to … Continue reading 1 mph
5 miles - Today I wore John's track spike shoes to the workout. We watched the IAAF London World Championships, taking place in the rain. I wondered what that would be like, John reminded me he had his spikes in the closet - so why not try that route. This was my first time running with … Continue reading Track with spikes
5mi. It's uncommon to have a whole workout consist of just two intervals - but that was today. To be accurate, we started with a 100m strider, but past that, everything was all setup to alternate between the 200s and 700s. Like this - 1 mi warmup jog 100m w/100m recovery 200m w/100m recovery 200m w/100m … Continue reading Just two things
5mi. Last night's Rogue Run was terrific fun. Plenty of runners, a great showing at the Twisted Trunk afterward, and good photos of the group. Today the wake up with 3 beers for dinner was a challenge. I usually do some body weight exercises to open my lungs and wake up before driving to the … Continue reading Feathers fall flat
16 mi. It's not a well-recommended plan to donate blood the day before a strenuous run. It does help accelerate the debilitating conditions you experience in distance running, it comes on a bit quicker this way. I arrived at the Dunkin Donuts to setup the flag and sign early enough to start on time at 5 … Continue reading Remember to bleed
5mi. Dead calm, a few clouds overhead and lower than the past few weeks attendance. The parking lot is filling with things they are using to apnew ply astroturf to the football field. About 10 people came today, and we were given a timed mile in the middle of the workout. 1 mile warmup jog … Continue reading Midsummer mile
5.15mi. How hot is Juno Beach after 6pm? Still TOO HOT! I ran with Adam Bloom to just past the Jupiter Reef Club (20min out and back). I know our pace going was 7:20-ish. Coming back we went faster, Adam makes that a habit on his Thu Fun Runner events. The final stats said 7:15 … Continue reading Fun Runners Thirsty Thursday
5mi. A warm and sticky day with a "sometimes" breeze from the east. About 12 people on the track, I followed Seth and a high school runner on most intervals. Probably less effort than last week, I wasn't going to catch Seth but I wasn't in danger of being chased down, either. I forgot my … Continue reading Before sunrise
5mi. This morning we had 19 runners for a track workout. It was still, no breeze and humid. The crowd that came to prep for the Freedom Run mostly returned. We did short rest intervals today, finishing with a set of 400m runs split by 100m recoveries. There was no waiting for the group - just start … Continue reading Threshold 400s
5mi. Franci subbed in for Paul today and had a workout with a twist - have a look at how that went... 1 mi warmup jog 100m w/100m recovery 200m w/100m recovery 300m w/100m recovery 400m w/100m recovery 500m w/100m recovery 600m w/200m recovery (2:12) 600m w/200m recovery (2:11) 600m w/200m recovery (2:07) 500m w/200m recovery 400m w/200m … Continue reading Franci’s twist
