Running • Page 18

i'm kind of in a rut...now that it's getting darker and colder i'm running shorter albeit faster runs. used to do around 5-6 milers in the summer. now im going out for really quick 3 milers and it doesn't feel as good.

 

Finally getting back into running on the weekends. 30+ minutes for now on the treadmill, feels good to be back.

 

I can't run that long on a treadmill. So mind numbing.

 

my IT band is flaring up

 

The worst.

 

this is the first time its flared up since i had a bad go with it 5 or so years ago...and its on the other leg. super bummed. takes forever to get better.

 

I think that's the exact reason I like it haha.

 

Had a 5k this weekend and got 1st in my age division. They forgot to mark a .5 turn and so it was actually a 2.61 for everyone that finished before they noticed. Still ran it in a PR best for me, which isn't even very fast comparatively speaking. Thinking I'm going to either work on speed for the rest of the 5ks this year or try to get back up to being able to run 10ks or half-marathons

 

I use a Garmin watch and Connect. I'm not sure about the Healthkit, is there something it has that the Connect doesn't?

 

Amazon has some huge discounts on footwear right now. Picked up a pair of Mizunos I used to have for about a third of the price I paid. lol

Of course no waverunners are in my size. Being average sucks in times like this.

 

Did you try flipping through the colors?

 

Yeah. I'm a 10.5 and generally I need a wide as well.

 

I run in Nike Free 7.0 and I love the way they fit. Those Asics fuzeX look tempting, but I think I'm going to splurge for some new Frees here soon.

Also I haven't ran in about 10 days. :/

 

i'm just gonna hold out on getting a new pair of altras for christmas.

been running on my busted ass torins and brooks for a few months now. ain't gonna cut it anymore with all the snow now

 

So I just picked up running again after a 2 year hiatus... Went from 230 to 190 now up to 260 due to general health issues and life changes... mainly a baby boy. I have my diet straightened out but in order to be motivated I want to attempt to work out 5 to 6 days a week. I was up to 10 miles/day before everything went downhill.

I've decided to try Couch to 5k again and that'll take me 3 days a week. What other types of weight training should I work on for the other 3 days that won't affect my running?

 

i know jack squat about weight lifting but welcome back!

 

I would try and work on your core mostly. I know it's not easy, but that's what will really help you running wise. I always did high rep chest and arm routines as well.

 

Squats and deadlifts. I'm being serious.

 

Can't get this image to post.

 

19 degrees here and going on a group run tonight.....should be interesting...

 

It was nice knowing you

 

High of 7 degrees next Wednesday; probably going to run inside for that run

 

Fuck, it was cold tonight.....luckily I ran with some babes that kept the run interesting
