<p>Good morning, TEAM LIT!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Busy so right to it for me...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>5 mile run early this not-so-cold morning (30F). Totally overdressed (for ~20-25F, which is normal as of late).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Great day!</p>

<p>Good morning.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>36m 49s - 4.15 miles - 08m 52s/Mi<br><br>
7:35 AM <br><br>
Equipment: Nike Pegasus 11/10<br><br>
Cold/low 30s - Sunny and calm. Crawford/Puckett/Security/Kiva/Fontaine/Grinnell/Crawford/Upton/home. Short easy run. Stretching afterward.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I didn't get home from work until almost midnight and have to be back again this morning. Kinda tired!</p>

 

[juliemboyle]

<p>3.75 mile run, sun was shining, so bonus!</p>

 

[TriBob]

<p>Hitting the pool on the way home. Then teaching Kenpo class.</p>

 

[Stitcher]

<p>I'm DORing today,</p>
<p>I think I managed to torque my knee in my sleep.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I don't have pain, per se, but something does not feel right....and, it wants to "go out" on me when I walk.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So, we'll see what not stressing it in the pool will do for it.</p>

 

[xflbk43]

<p>2500 yd swim this morning:</p>
<p>500 warm up,</p>
<p>200 drills,</p>
<p>200 kick,</p>
<p>12x100 on :05 rest,</p>
<p>400 cool down.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>

 

[niemsco]

<p>60 minutes of core and strength.  On my own good workout.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also 45 minutes on my bike relatively easy, up to zone 2. </p>

 

[MBannon]

<p>Hoping to squeeze in a 4 mile run somewhere.  Masters swim this evening.</p>

 

[KitKat]

<p>30 minutes of short intervals on the trainer and masters swim tonight. Monday's swim was cancelled due to power outage and I was only in the pool once last week so I'm itching to swim. Not sure what the scheduled workout will be.</p>

 

[hobey]

<p>4 miles easy at lunch.</p>

 

[Alaska Mike]

<p>Good workouts all!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Long run day for me.  26.3 in about 3:09.  Left my watch running while I re-fueled at the half-way mark and forgot to restart it after waiting for a light, so the numbers are kinda approximate.  Up and over Campton Hills Rd, so I got some decent up and down hill work also.  I'm pretty happy for that as a training run, but I need to find another 34 min or so come Patriot's day and that's going to be a tall order.  On the other hand, I'll have my racing flats on so that's gotta be worth at least 25 min, right?  <span><img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"></span></p>

<p>Mike - do you usually run marathon distance(s) as a training run before Boston?  I don't remember reading about it in the past few years...  At any rate, glad to hear you are happy about how it went.  Definately, racing flats are worth about 25minutes in my opinion, hahaha. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Rest day from running, 1st in 2weeks, that has been the pattern for the last several weeks.  Was able to squeeze 20min strength workout and about 1500m swimming on a busy day with 4hrs drive and 2 meetings.   Boy, I am getting REALLY tired of driving.  I tried 100IM in the RIGHT order, 1:59 off the wall.  This being meter pool and the meet at yard pool, my chance of clearing 2:00 for 100IM is looking good <span id="user_yui_3_3_0_6_129911761076523"><img alt="smile.gif" id="user_yui_3_3_0_6_129911761076522" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span></p>

<p>Got out for a two mile, easy run late this morning!  Felt good, but also like my head was in a fog...not quite discombobulated, but sort of slushy.  Think I will skip this evening's half-tablet of meclizine and see how I feel tomorrow morning.  Still not 100%, but getting closer!</p>

 

[jenotter]

<p>Wow...that's a heck of a training run, Mike!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>7.5 miles pushing the little otters, followed by Disneyland. The run went pretty well - about a 10:00pace, which is about normal for this route with the stroller, but my back is pretty tired from pushing around 84 pounds of kid all day.</p>

 

[Alaska Mike]

<p>It's not unusual for me to have several 3 hr runs as part of my build-up to Boston.  It's just that now I'm getting fast enough to cover (almost) the marathon distance in that time.  I did stretch it a couple of minutes to cover the full distance, more a mental thing than any actual training value.</p>

<p>Was able to get 25 laps of swimming.  Good for 25/36 of a mile.   Felt a little sluggish, but did finished.    Need to work on keeping my legs straight on those, though.   </p>

 

[Yo Sake]

<p>Thanks.  Only faster marathoners, like you, can actually run a longer time than what it will take to finish the goal marathon during a buildup.  Speaking of the 'mental thing', I am debating to run how many 20miles if any I run during this training cycle.  I havent' run any 20's yet.  Because of the much higher mileages I am running, plus I have at least 12-18miles for two days leading up to the long run, my long run starts as if I already run at least 5miles or so.  So I am not sure if there is any training value to do the magic '20'.  This is basically the idea behind why Hansons' training (in the simplest term) doesn't have you run more than 16miles.  I am putting equal value to the three key workouts - cruise interval, MP run, and long run - each week, so 20 is not necessary in the grand scheme of thing, but I haven't even run 3hrs yet.  Expecting 3:40-45 marathon, maybe there is a value physcially to put 3hrs run?  your thoughts?<br><br>

<p>Maybe do one 3 hour run just for the "mental thing"?  Make it a cruise interval.</p>
