Paul was away in Las Vegas this week, he did leave a workout for us. 12 - 400m runs separated by 100m recovery jogs. I ran mine behind Steve Monks, who on interval #9 was baited into catching Jen Rapaport who left early for that reason. 1mi warmup jog 400m w/100m recovery (1:29) 400m w/100m … Continue reading Twelve quarters
5 mi. I'm running our second "Rogue Run" tonight, but this is more important. Today was breeze-less and I had a big red meat dinner last night. I felt good, wearing the well-worn Skechers Go Run Ride 4 shoes, primarily because they are easy to slip on/slip off. 1 mi warmup jog 300m w/100m recovery (1:09) 300m … Continue reading A fair chance
10 mi. I know Oleta River State Park trails, even if I haven't ridden here in two years or more. There were good people doing this race - Ken Baxter and his 2 sons were running, Romo Melendez, Hamed, and Jodi and her new boyfriend, Randy. Julie and Frans were working at a water stop … Continue reading DTR Oleta 10 mile Full Moon Trail Race
5mi. No rain! First workout in 5 days outdoors as what is being described as "once in a century" rains and floods hit South Florida. I believe the rain has brought some cooler temps, that's good. I am entered in the Full Moon 10 mile race on Saturday night. Previously held at JD State Park, … Continue reading On the Grid Again
30 mi. I woke up early enough to make a ride before the predicted rain arrived. There was such a small wind it was negligible. I had a bottle of Accelerade mixed in cold water from the fridge dispenser. That didn't last, it was warm before the half way point. The roads were very empty … Continue reading Calm riding
5mi. Our warm summer weather allows for local runners to branch out into triathlons, spending some of our training time with a 20+mph bike breeze or swimming. It's also a great time to "gut" through workouts that build a really strong runner. That describes today's effort. We had a good series of 300, 400 and 500m sprints, … Continue reading Summer Strong
It wasn't too many years ago that a 3-day weekend meant MORE time for runs, rides or an extreme showing of fitness. I don't think I've had that feeling in several years, however. I went with John to the Sunset Music Festival in Tampa on Saturday and Sunday. That was fun, but no workouts. There … Continue reading Hot Gas
5mi. All the social posts from good and great runners that have track intervals in their weekly schedule include times. I haven't done much to stay on top of how much time each interval takes, showing up and chasing the group is good for me. Or was. Now with an awareness of what's fast, I see … Continue reading Point of reference
Of course my birthday this year fell on a Monday. And I went to a restaurant and ate a nice meal and sat there for 35 minutes waiting for the check. This is not going to help the Tuesday bridge workout. And... it's a day for hill sprints! There were a bunch of people on the … Continue reading Eat Big, Run Slow
5mi. Of all the social media posts you see from runners, often there are photos of workouts and track sessions. Of course there are, there should be! It's an essential part of any serious runner's regimen, speed and intervals. Form and function. Most folks don't have an opportunity to attend a coached track session. Or they … Continue reading Think about that!
