2014, Run 1000 miles (Page 14)

Crossed the 1000 mark today.  1004.68 miles. 

Congrats Mary and Justin on hitting 1,000.  Great job!!

Thanks you as well.  And good luck on your 50 miler!  Which one are you doing?  I have one coming up 9/13

It is called the Hampster Endurance Run in Bellingham, Washington.  It is actually a 12 hour race around a 2.5 mile loop circling Lake Padden.  I did this race as my first ultra last year completing 50 miles in 11:45.  I am hoping to do 52.5 miles this year. 

That is WAY fun! Congrats!! Guess those miles are paying off!!

How is your running going so far this year?  Lots of time left.

Sorry to hear you are having a down week.  I think we all do at some point.  I can almost guarantee that if you go out and do a couple of miles you will feel better (assuming you aren't injured).  Let us know how it goes.

Got a nice bump in miles yesterday.  Did my 12 hour race and got in almost 55 miles.  I am really sore today though. 

Hi everyone!  Great job to all!  I hit 500 miles with my IM (wooooot!) 3 weeks ago, but ended up with some tendinitis so have been on the sidelines since.  I did a 20 min run on Saturday and all was well, so hopefully will be able to get back at 'er shortly here.

Pops, that is awesome, a 5 mile jump from last year, right?  Great work!  Man, I can bet you are sore!  Take it easy for a few days, you deserve it.

ETA: I changed my username from bcraht to IronOx in case anyone is confused

Here's a link to my RR

Congrats on your ultra, read the report sounds like you had a great race.

In taper madness here.  Have a marathon on Saturday, then I'm on the final stretch for my first 50 miler in Sept.  Getting nervous here!

Awesome! Sounds fun! How long are your long runs typically while training for a 50 miler?

I'm at 1831 so I am more or less on track for 3K miles by the end of the year. We shall see though.

Here is my Race Report for the 10K Regional Championship. I am slowwwly getting back into shape but I think I established an excellent baseline to start marathon training. 

I did not train specifically for this but relied on my cumulative fitness which in the last year has been more about frequency and intensity than duration.  In talking to folks there who were more specifically dedicated to this stuff, long runs of 20+ and a lot of back to back days doing 20 milers.  Also two a days to get the greater volume in.  No way one could do this and swim/bike.

As a side note, I am still sore with the HM tomorrow morning.  I've swam and ridden this week no problem but the legs are still recovering.  My expectations are such that if a cold one or two or ... presents itself tonight than so be it.  If worst comes to worst I might jog along with my wife who is running also.  Might not be a bad idea since I haven't told her yet I'm doing an HIM in three weeks.  

Oh, and Adrienne, your mileage is incredible.  Can't wait to hear how your Fall racing goes. 

My longest run has been 35 miles.  And will be my longest run before the race.  I have quite a few 20+ mile runs, which are pretty easy to recover from now.  Only takes a day or so until I feel good again after that distance.
