the rain chafing is real.

all of the people I run with on the weekends have now become infected by the "100 miles is the only race distance I want to do now". its like the zombie plague apparently.
  • Edie Edie I'm pondering a 50k, but never a thought of a hundred miler.

  • dordio dordio Never, ever, ever had the desire to go beyond 26.2, but was always chasing time goals vs distance. Ultras are a different animal; Kaci could likely make a great contrast and comparison.

Omaha [20160420]: Mo's Hill Workout

Blue Moon to Big Papio to Nina Street was the warm up, then it was 5 x (up Nina (to the pole) quickly, recover to hydrant, sprint back to pole, roll down); cooldown back to Blue Moon from whence I came.

Fast Finish DT13, On/Offs, Candy Run, LNK Half; the rest is all filler (no killer).

Can't wait.

Half mile jog w/tbirds prior to workout. Led a small group on a distance run, sending them back at 2 miles and I continued north on Ft. Crook (13th) to the So. O bridge and across into Iowa before turning around. Lots of rolling terrain. 10 miles is probably the first double figures run I've done in years. Around 8 flats but dipping into the 7:30's for the last 3.

5k warm up then 6 x 3 min on/off 3 mile cool down.

Didn't want to get up this morning and the rain didn't help. I waited the rain out and ran from my jobsite. Even during the warm up I was kind of dreading the workout. Just didn't feel it. I started the first interval into the wind and everything got better from there. I started to forget about running hard and focused on stride and pacing. The lake helped with the wind. Every other interval had a tailwind.

6:03, 6:00, 6:07, 5:55, 6:05, 5:57

You can see which intervals had a headwind by the splits.

Drenched Workout Wednesday: 6/mi Tempo

This was supposed to be 6x1/mi on/offs, but I wore gloves today and didn't want to mess around with the lap button (touchscreen watch). Went by feel, no watch watching. Turns out I was all over the pace board. Whatevs.

Bumped into Squintz afterwards who said he was in the process of chasing me down. Now that would have been demoralizing, getting caught and passed while on a tempo. Luckily his route had him turning around before catching me.

I don't remember the last time I ran in the rain. It was actually quite pleasant. Took it very easy and it felt pretty good. Coming in from the rain pretty soaked and heading into the basement was odd; I probably should've changed clothes but meh. Did 75 minutes lifting (back and biceps, which is my favorite training day of the week) + 60 minutes easy cycling + 15 minutes yoga post. Good morning.

Happy Hump Day!

Well the two pups and the race director bailed, so it was just the diehard (stupid) warriors Matt, Bryan, and myself that met at the track. They had speed, and I had 8 easy with strides. Good puddles, good north wind, good driving rain, good times. Soaked to the bone, but really not too bad. Once you're wet, you're wet.

Felt good. Now time for a swim. In the pool. :)

Happy HumpDay.
