You are the only person I know who loves the stepper as much as I do!

5 horribly hot sloggy ones on the TM<br><br><img alt="sad10.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad10.gif"><br><br>
I tried to "work on" some pace efforts...but I refuse to tell you all what 'fast' looks like in the porty book.<br><br>
so<br>
so<br>
pitiful

Wow...goal this week was 50 miles, but then I realized I was F'ed from the get-go when I took my rest day on Sunday...we're leaving for vacation on Saturday so that means trying to get 50 in 5 days. Started out well on Monday with my 11, last night I had a 5 recovery and today I was hoping for 7 or 8 easy and 4 a bit faster tonight. Then lots of easy miles the next 2 days. Turns out I absolutley suck at running in this weather and I was really sore from something, so that turned this morning's run into a 4.4 mile slowest run of the year. now t get where I wanted to, I'd only need 29.5 miles in 2 and a half days...<img alt="sad.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad.gif"> No way. I hope vacation turns out beter, but with total of about 3 days driving I'm not so sure.

Alex - do you have time to run Saturday before you leave?<br><br>
Recovery run - 4 treadmill miles in 37:30 (9:23/mile).<br><br>
14 miles done, 36 to go for this week <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif">

Absolutely-I look forward to my stepper days<img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> My stairmaster 4000pt is one of the best purchased I ever made. I've had it about 10 years now. When people come into my house and see it-I get some strange looks. It's right in the tv room-people keep suggesting I move it to the basement or my study-but I like it there. I love doing it. I know a woman who did a significant part of her Ironman training on the stairmaster. I would love the stepmill next.<br>
No stairmaster for me today: 7 miles<br>
Edited to add: 80 mins is awesome I haven't been able to get past 60!

 

[merigayle]

i wanted to go longer, i actually want to see how long i could go, but have not had the time. my coach may beat me. lol. I would LOVE a stairmill, but the ceilings are too low. I am in LOVE with the stepper. I hope it trains me well to climbs the mountains in Wyoming!!!!!!!!

The stairmill may actually be my favorite running alternative!!

Day three of my 15k program. Today calls for 4 x 800 at 5k pace. I'll jump on the tm when I get home and knock 'em out.

 

[sistergoldenhair]

8 miles, with 6 at marathon pace + or - 10 seconds. My coach calls these "steady state" runs. I enjoy this pace range a lot!<br><br>
Plus .5 miles brisk walking for warm-up and cool-down.<br><br>
Later this evening I also cycled 12.5 miles on the road, but at a "comfort zone/not having a panic attack" pace which is not hard effort for me.

 

[Billy]

I did 6 miles at my putative marathon pace of 10:42 m/m. My current thinking is that there is no way in h-e-double toothpicks that I'll be able to hold that pace at Air Force. So, I'm building towards Tucson.<br><br>
WTPJ - Surely you aren't slower than me. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> And if you are, so what!<br><br>
Going along with Jensparks - 12 miles done, 34 to go. (2 less than her on both sides of the ledger).

 

[kruss]

Aren't you house hunting? High ceilings should be on your priority list<img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">

 

[toe jam on crusty feet]

ok....5 miles at 9:00 pace. Just right for an EZ day

Ran nearly 4 miles in the park with a friend. Very nice. I felt so much more relaxed afterward.

Plan tonight was 15 miles on the Merrimack River Trail. I took it really easy going out. I had planned to repeat the hilly section, and then go back to the start.<br><br>
During mile 4 I fell. I felt okay when I got up, but things stiffened up as I went along, particularly the left knee.<br><br>
At that point I decided to just do the out and then back, and then decide if I wanted to go back out ofr the final 5 miles.<br><br>
On the way back I started feeling weak, tired and bit dizzy at one point. I decided to pack it in.<br><b>Run Segments<br>

6.7 total...just under 4 around town, 2 at the track and the rest coming home. Hoping to get my sorry butt out of bed earlier to beat the heat a bit.
