Saw that friday when wife and I went to the Zoo… it was looking pretty sketchy, 75% of the crowd should have been attending school.

feelin pretty good, got my 3 mile time down to 28:20 yesterday. been awhile.

We cranked out a few longer runs last week that were nice. I am being lazy this week but might hit a 15miler or so this weekend.

Zac it was spring break the other week for public schools I believe. Since then the park has been less crowded in general.

Anyone interested in 13-15mi in the next few days?

Today? It’s cold, many miles, pack nutrition? Buy a bottle of water along the road? When you out of work? I’m sick of case studies. Going DT to Spot for Micro/Macro study buddy @ 7, I can postpone that if you want to run until dark. My neck is fuct, but it doesn’t hurt to run, just everything else including riding the bike & lifting weights. Teaching Spinning off the bike next week, so f-it. 15 today?

Shoot me a text and we can set this up if you want. I will deff need to eat something and pound some water as I have had my typical pretzyls and diet coke all day at work. Im am going to be free in about an hour.
Micro/Macro study? Just ask me questions while we run ha.

It’s not the questions, it’s the paperwork nonsense of it all…

I’ve been slacking hard core. Went for a 3mi the other day and my legs cramped up so bad I couldn’t finish…I should jam 6 today, but I feel lazy.

Did 12.65mi with spam. NBD

Nice! Going to run tomorrow, try for a 6-8.

How many of you guys breathe through your mouths while running, as opposed to breathing through your nose?

Just curious.

I found myself struggling after 2-3 miles but noticed I was literally gasping for air through my mouth. The next day I attempted the same run with nose running and it made a huge difference. No more chest pain or cramps.

I flip flop depending on pace. Sounds wacky but have done it for years.

Neither way really makes a difference. Only days I can’t haul the mail is when my allergies are acting up(allergy induced asthma tdownnnnn)

When I’m running with Zac or Drew I’m usually breathing hard through the mouth. I’ve also heard in through the nose, out through the mouth. Never really had chest pains with breathing. Maybe you want to tone down the pace?

http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/81062129 Mapmyride sucks except for biking for the climb categorization, gotta switch to runkeeper… fail. avg speed 5.49mph, avg pace 10min/mi. Quicker than I expected honestly, I was sucking wind, cock and balls at the end. My legs are smoked, I was getting shooting pain down my left arm and elbow from my neck being so screwed up as fatigue really set it’s teeth in me.

@Motocross; Breathing typically begins to change from comfortable through your nose to split mounth/nose between 75-85% max heart rate depending on your fitness/economy, full mouth at about 90+/-%. Is this law? no. Is it a good gauge for periodization and perceived exertion without a HRM wrapped around your chest? yes. Is heart rate law? again, no. Since you cannot use a strain gauge or somehow to measure actual “work” while running like on a bicycle, it’s all you got. Since you’re starting out, your fitness at the running movement is low, not your overall fitness persay, but at that movement through that range of motion. Also, since your muscle memory is poor, your economy is going to be low. It’s taking you much more effort to run than someone with more miles under their belt and improved fitness at that range of motion.

HAHA yeah I was trying to run us back at like a ~9min mi to make up for the way out I wasn’t happy with.

I’m going to sneak in a few brisk shorter ones, teaching spinning @ 5am monday, should be lifting again by next week with my neck. Want to plow out some big jams one day next week again?

yessir we can jam 15-17mi

15-17? shit, stepping up! i gotta hop back in sometime, i was out for a bit with a high ankle sprain, probably only going to do the Half this time, any big plans for you guys?

Come do 15-17mi next week! You know it will be cake.

Haven’t ran since the 12.65 a week ago. Being an adult is soooooo lame sometimes. Hopefully I will have more free time to enjoy the summer.

me either… lame.
