Running Pumpkins - Halloween Run Challenge (Page 13)

Baowolf - 2009-10-08 4:56 PM

Alrighty I got in my very mean lunch workout 8 miles with 6x half mile repeat at sub 6:40 pace, so fun (38 miles total now).  Here are the stats on the run:

warmup pace, heart rate = 8:11, 167

1/2 mile repeats:
1= 6:30, 165, 2=6:35, 169, 3= 6:37, 172, 4=6:31, 174, 5=6:32, 174, 6=6:28, 176

recovery
1= 8:22, 153, 2=8:36, 3=8:28, 160, 4=8:55, 161, 5=9:04, 161, 6=8:59, 165

cool down= 8:16, 164

Ok now for shins.  Sore shins means you need to soften them up with rollers or the Marathon stick and ice them after every single run until you are very sure that they are fine.  You may also have to go lite for a few days/1 week if above does not help with the pain.  Basically it is like your muscles have knotted up and running the stick over them breaks the knotted muscles up so they can work properly.  A massage can do this too, but it better be a mean one.  The stick, hurts so good.  My wife always looks over at me with some concern when I use it on shins or calves.  Stretching may help as well, but definitely ice and the stick... after every run of any distance.

Where my pumpkinheads at??? MMM Pumpkinhead mmmmm

jsnowash - 2009-10-09 5:42 AM Yes, I definitely credit increased volume and frequency with the gains I'm (finally!) beginning to see with my running... I've been running 25 - 30 mpw pretty consistently for several months now, and it's beginning to pay off - without even doing much in the way of speedwork (I'm really just beginning to add speedwork back in in the past couple of weeks). Go figure! Running more makes you run faster!

xTriRiTrix - 2009-10-09 12:42 AM Hey hey Pumpkinpeople,
I just got over 40% of my goal for the running challenge after today/tonight's sessions when coupled with yesterday's. Tonight, I did water aerobics (with interval training running in the pool) followed by a 800yd. swim and a 30 min. water running session. Yeah, I'm tired and sore. Good thing I'm entering my off days! I'm starting to see progress. In my running, in the swims (even without fins), even in my shoulder sprain recovery! Let's hope the trend continues.

Like Janet Jackson says, What have you done for me lately? How's the running coming gang?

I plan on getting a bit of running in this weekend to get all caught up.  I've been in MSP this week and now it's supposed to rain here for the next 2 days

On a very happy note...I'm going to see Mamma Mia tonight!!!

Got an hour run done this morning. Maybe a short swim at lunch, and then prep for a long weekend training session.

jsnowash - 2009-10-09 1:37 PM Another 5 miles for me today. No running tomorrow - tomorrow I'm going to go take a certification course to become a spinning instructor! I'll let you all know how it goes!

kirih - 2009-10-09 11:54 AM Hey Pumpkins,
It's a non-run day for me, i'm still on track for the month. Yay!
Anyone else getting ready to watch some Kona coverage?
I'll be parked on the drainer in front of the laptop, spinning with the athletes down the Queen K.

Have fun out there!

Nice job!

Enjoy your big weekend of training..I miss mine, but I'm racing cross twice which should be a blast.
