Rockin' Thursday Run - 1/6

Runninlaw · Jan 6, 2011

Hey peeps!
 
My training week has been completely thrown off by work. I have been insanely busy and logging lots of hours. The good news was that I won a big hearing yesterday. I still have a lot going on though so running is going to have to take a lower priority.
 
That said, I am going to try to get a few miles on the TM before I go in today. I know I will be there late and I have to do something so I am not just sitting behind my desk all week.

It figures that on the day I decide to start a thread, someone beats me to it by a fraction of a minute. <img alt="rolleyes.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/rolleyes.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"> Well, here's what I wrote:
 
Good morning, folks. I hope everybody has a good workout today.
 
My back isn't perfect, but it felt good enough for me to run 6.5 miles on the TM yesterday. I'll probably do another TM run today.
 
I think I'm starting to figure out my schedule for the Spring. I'm only registered for Little Rock as of this time, but I'm leaning towards the rest of these...
 
Mar 6 <a href="http://www.littlerockmarathon.com/" target="_blank">Little Rock Marathon</a>
 
Mar 13 Newark NJ Distance Classic 20k
 
Apr 3 <a href="http://www.jbsports.com/gdanhalf.htm" target="_blank">Danbury CT Half Marathon</a>
 
Apr 23 <a href="http://lakewaramaugultra.com/" target="_blank">Lake Waramaug (CT) 50k</a> (gulp)
 
May 22 40 miles on my 40th birthday (double gulp!)
 
I'm still a little up in the air about the idiocy of the last one. Do I really want to run that much farther than I've ever run, and do it completely on my own, which means it won't even count towards a state or anything else like that? Hmm...
 
Well, why not a QOD to make all this official. What are you going to be running this Spring?

sauconRunner · Jan 6, 2011

Good Morning all..Looks like you are going to have a busy spring boB!
 
So as I said last night...sortof...I'm going to start Lydiard's phase one. He has you peek at 100 miles a week at 10 weeks. I don't really plan to get there....looking towards getting to a 50 mile a week which comes in about 6 weeks. I'm excited to have a schedule finally, it will make me accountable rather than just planning to run here and there which I can easily bail on. 
 
Miss you all!

Good morning all! Met up with a couple ladies for a Thursday edition of the downtown bridges run; ended up with 6.7 miles in cool but calm conditions. Not surprising, I'm sore from yoga last night but in a good way.
 
Heather - congrats on getting a plan in place, did you speak with Trevor at all about Lydiard? ...I know he's at least read a lot about his plans. I'm a big fan of higher mileage, just be careful not to jump in too quickly with too much. Good luck!
 
QOD - still working out the spring line-up. Planning to sign up for the Broad St 10 miler (5/1) when registration opens and probably get a 50K on the schedule somewhere. I'm also running the new spring edition of Reach the Beach (5/20,21) with many of the NYC runners I've met over the last 9 mos.
 
eta - Congrats on the hearing win, Mindi! Hope your time frees up a bit more now for your training

I plan on Broad Street this year too! Beaker - we still running it together??? I known you just had the baby but hey, you can do it

KP · Jan 6, 2011

Snowing like crazy here this morning. Got a text message that practice time had been pushed back to this afternoon so I was able to jump on the TM and get 5 done. Bumped the incline up to 4% for the last .5 mile. Kicked my ass. Today's run gives me 22 miles for Jan...had 20 miles all of Jan 2010. So much better not being injured.

katholeenie · Jan 6, 2011

Morning.
 
5 on the tm plus shoveling snow.

Litchfield Hills · Jan 6, 2011

Morning all.
 
Good News: got out for a 10K loop this AM, longest run in about a month.
Bad News: 10 days after snowing, there are sidewalks that are not clear. I ended up going down a sidewalk dead end where I had snow banks of 4 ft + on both sides and in front. Instead of reversing, I climbed up and over the snowbank, but slipped and my right upper hammy\lower glute is barking up a storm.
 
Best news - Saucon is back <img alt="wave.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wave.gif">
 
Regarding Lydiard, which Lydiard plan are you looking at? Looking at <a href="http://www.lydiardfoundation.org/pdfs/al_training.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.lydiardfoundation.org/pdfs/al_training.pdf</a> (scroll to page 10), it calls for:
 
Monday: 1 hour
Tuesday:1.5 hour
Wednesday:1 hour
Thursday:1.5 to 2 hours
Friday:1 hour
Saturday: 2 hours plus
Sunday: 1 to 1.5 hours
 
That is a LOT of time. Is that what you are looking at? If you have the time, and can ramp up to it, I think it would be fantastic. Where is your running now? MPW, etc. Getting up to 50 MPW in 6 weeks could be super aggressive if you are not already in the 30-35 range.
 
QOD: Only "definite" is Danbury. I would also like to do a few others here and there, but they will most likely be relatively last minute things.

mmoonptdeux · Jan 6, 2011

Hi all - broke out the old Rodney Yee yoga DVD yesterday and got in a session; a run through SF after work today.
 
Congrats on winning your hearing Mindi!
 
QOD - I guess one of my things is I'm kinda' torn about what I should be concentrating on this year, plus I have to keep in mind keeping a budget for other traveling purposes this year until circumstances turn favorably. I would like to knock off a marathon in May in a random state, however, and this one kinda' jumped to the forefront at quick glance

 I realize its extremely aggressive but while reading Lydiard's philosophy I think I'd like to try it. According to him and his studies, someone getting right off the couch can accomplish the above. He got a lot of grief for his approach as it goes against the idea of very slowly building your base but I would like to give it a whirl.
At one of our conferences I met a guy who was a amazing middle distance runner in his day. He has used this plan and knows others who have after a long downtime due to injury, etc and believes it will work to get me back on track. I do have the time these days to commit to it. I also know that I need to be realistic and listen to my body and if its too much then I will make adjustments as necessary.

Hello hello.
 
Ran tempo Monday and hills Tuesday, then taught step aerobics last night. The instructor I got to take over my class last year can no longer teach it, so it's mine again. I did miss it, to be honest. Now my boot camp people on Wednesdays are mad at me, though, because I'm teaching the other class but not theirs. <img alt="rolleyes.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/rolleyes.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"> I can't win. <img alt="razz.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/razz.gif" style="width:15px;height:15px;">
 
So anyway, now my Wednesday routine is teach and then do a leg workout.
 
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeoooooooooouuuuuuccch!!!! Holy carp am I sore today! Last night I did squats (I maxed out at 95 lbs for 10 reps for the third week in a row, so time to up the weight!), lunges onto a BOSU, leg press, leg extension, and leg curl. Those lunges are killing me. 
 
Methinks tonight's run will be easier than planned. I don't know if I CAN run hard on these legs tonight! 
 
Saucon, be careful about doing too much too soon.... xoxox
 
Good job, KP! Congrats on the win, Mindi!!
 
QOD
The only spring race on the radar so far is the inaugural Phillies 5K, which sold out in a day. Glad I got in! I'm far more focused on my summer races at this point; winter and spring are just for base-building for me.

Brandy · Jan 6, 2011

morning
 
6 slow miles last night - the footing was all sorts of carpy - like running in sand with ice underneath.
 
boo
 
might run 3 tonight or I might crosstrain
 
I haven't decided yet.
 
same thing with the QOD

amichel · Jan 6, 2011

2 miles TM this morning. Thought briefly about heading outside, but I didn't have my layers laid out and was sure I'd get it wrong. Yes, friends, I do have to lay everything out to dress properly. Started watching The Great Debaters while on the TM. That should keep me entertained for a bit.
 
QOD: As I mentioned in the goal thread, I'm registered for the HM at Cincy on 5/1. J & I might do some local races as well, but nothing definite.

I could use some too. My legs are killing me! Same area -- right where the hamstring and glute attach. Oof!

Afternoon Gang -
 
Hi Heather! Good to see you back around here. I haven't followed his plans, but it looks ambitious. Good for you!
 
{{{{{{{Litch}}}}}}}
 
QOD: 3/6/11 Little Rock Marathon
 ??? Maybe Earth Day HM or 20 miler
 6/19/11 Grandma's Marathon
 
 
I just biked and lifted weights. Weighed myself at the gym and I'm down too much, so I stopped for lunch and treated myself to a brownie that was literally the size of my hand and an inch and a half thick. So yummy. Should be back up to my normal weight now.

I am 4-4 this week running in the morning. It's been a little while since I could say that. I've also done the 3 P90X weight DVDs. I love it, but I hate it.
 
I listed my plans in the Goals thread, but I am hoping to do the Lake Placid HM June and the Utica Boilermaker in July. But then I got a phone call from my middle sister. She has struggled with her fitness as an adult and has committed to getting healthier, losing weight and getting back in the running saddle. I recommended that she check out the local Fleet Feet store and their running clubs, races and training programs. She was calling to tell me that she has registered for the Vermont City Marathon! So I registered today for the Relay lottery. I hoping I get in so we can offer her some support along the way. I'm so proud of her for making this leap.

Runnin-from-the-Law · Jan 6, 2011

Update and PSA: Not a good idea to eat an entire hand-sized brownie in one sitting. <img alt="icon_puke_r.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_puke_r.gif">

I felt it twinge when I slipped, but it has been getting more sore as I have been sitting on it all day.

KP · Jan 6, 2011

QOD: I looked at my calendar for March and April today. Spring sports are going to kill me this year. Starting March 14 I will work 26 consecutive days, have 2 days off, work 13 consecutive days, get Easter Sunday off, and then work 11 consecutive days. The 5k around St. Patrick's Day (it's the Saturday after) is out this year due to baseball home games. Glass City is out because of baseball and softball home games. If I can find a 5k April 9 I'll try to jump in it. I'll run something during the 5/3 Riverbank Run (they have 5k, 10k, and 25k) but it's a week later than usual this year and only two weeks before the Bayshore HM. So I'm sorta screwed.
