Only thing on the schedule today is my usual 20 minute walk after lunch.
Monday 12-3 Running and Fitness
1 - 20 of 135 Posts
G'morning, <b>Scratch</b>. I've got 9 on the schedule today. Same tempo run as last week. I did last week's on the TM, and I might try to do the same today. Unfortunately, I might be starting to come down with something. My nose is incredibly stuffy today and my throat is quite scratchy. So maybe I should take it easy today. We'll see how I feel after work.<br><br>
I also may have screwed myself when it comes to Eugene. I had had some tickets on hold for flights to Portland using Frequent Flier miles, but I had been holding out for something into Eugene. So I let that hold expire. Now there's still nothing into Eugene and no longer anything into Portland. Oops. Now I don't know what I'll do. Well, it's still 5 monts away, so hopefully something will open up...<br><br>
Have a good Monday, everyone...

5 on tap for tonight. I'm not sure if it will be on the treadmill, or on the roads.

Morning all.<br><br>
Have 7+ on tap for today.<br><br>
We've got something going around the family too <b>Bob</b>. DD3 has been sick with a cold for a few days. DW has it now and I woke up feeling like it's starting to hit me.

I meant to get up and do to the gym to do some weights, but I've felt so tired since yesterday and my brother was watching a movie loudly last night, so yeah, didn't happen. Will have to go tonight instead.<br><br><b>QOD</b>: Currently, I have merged Hal Higdon's Multiple Marathon program with a 50K program from some website in preparation for HUFF.

Good Morning!<br><br>
I'm moving my schedule around and taking my rest day today instead of tomorrow. My achilles is sore, I think its from overcompensating on the icey roads yesterday.<br><br>
DD was really stuffed up last night so she might be in for the cold that is going around. I'll be slamming some airborne today, that's for sure.<br><br><b>QOD:</b> I'm working on a modified Daniel's plan. I'm halfway through the book now and have been tweaking the LitchTim plan to meet my needs.<br><br><b>QOD2</b>: How many days a week do you train? Right now I'm doing 5 to 6 days.

Might get a little running done this afternoon at the gym, but I'm more interested in getting in some XT.<br><b><br>
QOD1:</b> I get personalized training plans from my running store guys every time they start a training group. The next group begins in early Jan for the spring season. So right now, I'm in between plans and just trying to get back to running more regularly instead of just 1x a week.<br><br><b>QOD2:</b> see above. Normally, I run 3-4 days a week. That's part of the reason why I'm also not ready to do a full marathon. I think I'd need to be able to commit to at least 5 days for that in order to build up my base, and to do so would require me to give up some of my other commitments since running in the a.m. is not really possible.

My problem with training for a full isn't so much the number of days but fitting in the miles in all of those days. Maybe a fall marathon would work better for me, I could do doubles then or at least get to run early morning or after work. Based on my pace a 6 mile run at work will take my entire lunch and then I need time to shower, I don't think I could pull off more than that since I have to pick up DD from daycare at a certain time each night.

Good morning all!<br><br><b>QOD 1</b> I am following the PhillyTom 10k training outline he wrote for me.<br><br><b>QOD 2</b> Now up to running 4 days a week and cross training on those 3 off days.<br><br>
Speaking of which, today is a cross training day which I will tackle after work this evening. Hopefully after another day of resting my knee it will be happy tomorrow morning when I resume my runs. I really must have banged it harder than I thought on Friday afternoon. Wooden chair arm right to the inner side of the left knee cap. *ouchie* It immediately felt like a "funny bone" hit but it must have been a little worse than that to still be sore 3 days later.<br><br>
Have a good fitness day everyone.

Happy to report I survived another Steelers Game Treadmill Run with only minor issues (banged the crap out of my hand twice on the wooden beams on the ceiling on big plays). 7 miles nice and sleazy. I might start doing 4-6 miles on the treadmill as a 2nd workout of the day (or first, if I do it in the morning) at a real easy pace to build some miles over the winter. I'm at the point where I'm about to put my training program together for the spring.<br><br>
QOD 1 - I am like a club DJ where I do a mash-up of plans. I take different elements of different plans and put them together with what I know I need to do to imrpove. I cannot read those books about mesocycles and all the technical terms - too much for me.<br><br>
QOD 2 - usually 6-7 days/week with 2-4 days off per month. This is the first year I've done that much and it seems to be manageable for me so I'm going to stick with it. I will double up 1-2 days a week when I'm really hitting it but it's easy stuff.<br><br>
Forgot to mention yesterday - <b>Moe</b>, excellent job this weekend!

A big old 1!<br><br>
Good morning, everyone!<br><br>
Ran 7 on the treadmill and lifted yesterday after the ridiculous Eagles loss. Bleh. My husband went with me and managed only 38 minutes on the TM before wanting to kill himself from the boredom. (I mentioned that Trevor once did 20 on the TM, and he replied, "Seriously? I would blow my brains out."<img alt="wink.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif"><br><br><b>QOD1</b> - I get free coaching from a certified coach and trainer for all my events (running and multisport). I have to sleep with the guy to get the coaching plans, though...<br><br><b>QOD2</b> - I've been working out 6 days per week for years now. Right now it's 3-4 days of running plus Spinning, step, boot camp, weights, volleyball, and extra cardio on the days I do short runs. Obviously, most days are a combination of the above choices. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile">

<b>QOD 1</b> No plan until after Christmas, at which point I will select something to train for, I seem to stick to a plan when I have a goal in sight.<br><br><b>QOD 2</b> Right now I am lucky to see three days per week, the travel schedule and cold weather really screw things up. The last week has not seen the temperature rise above -18c match that with a windchill it has averaged -26c.not.good.for.running.

Does anyone have the garmin footpod thing? I'm thinking about getting it. Its way to hilly around here for me to do my speedwork and tempo runs and I think I can only get to the High School track once a week so I am thinking I'll use the treadmill for the second day of speed but I don't trust the calibration of mine or the gyms. I figure the footpod would be good to get.
