30 runs in 30 days - who's with us? (Page 18)

Woot! So far, for the 100 in 100:

Lumber Dad
Left Brain
Trishie

who else wants to join the cool kids?  

I wish I could

Unfortunately, I'm still sidelined with heel pain.  Been just resting, stretching, and massaging the heck out of my legs and feet lately.  New shoes on the way, though!

With inspiration from this thread I started 14d ago, then I challenged my wife...  We  have to keep the streak going till new year's.  If i drop out and she doesn't, i have to take her out to dinner/movie 4 times next year (i hate going/paying to the theater).  If it's the other way around, I get a year's subscription to Playboy!

You'd be a wise man to "accidentally" miss a day right around Christmas 

Heck I am on day 330 today so I am in for another 100 or more. By the way to be an official running streak in the U.S. you need to run 1 mile per day under your own power but it can be on a treadmill for at least 365 day in a row to be recognized. I am almost there and plan on continuing the streak until I can not run because of a severe illness, accident or injury. Hopefully none of which will happen for at least 20 more years, I'll be 70 then.

-This is what I'm holding out for! Though I'm running regularly now, it isn't every day. I figure if I go into the New Year running, I'll be off to a good start of completing my first marathon in the last quarter of 2013!

this is awesome! I want on it ! 

Big day 4 for me....7.74 miles at 7:43 pace, longest run in over a month.

That would be the site, my name will be there before the end of the year hopefully.

garrunning - 2012-10-18 9:12 AM Today was 11 days for me with a 6 mile trail run. I think it is harder to keep track of the days then it is to run them

Use the "log" feature here.....you're already on here posting your run....it takes about 20 seconds to log it in.

18 consecutive of a mile or more, 9 of 2 miles or more (it would be 10 but I really, really had to poop). RPE hasn't changed, but I'm consistently less slow.

I am not an elite runner by any means but 331 days in row I have run so far I have to say yes on my pace. The biggest thing that has happened is my increase in endurance, I can hold a pace for a lot longer now. I have been running high milage during my streak too along with speed work. Racing quite often too.

I finished the 30 / 30 a few days ago....I was an 8:15 - 8:30 average runner, depending on the day.  I run in the high 7's for a few miles, but no more.  During this challenge, I ran 8 miles with an average pace of 7:35...and had many other runs of several miles with all splits under 8:00.  

I think the key is to still "train".  Don't do more than 1 long run per week and when you would normally take a "recovery" day after a long run, make sure you do a "recovery" run.  This means not pushing too hard for 1 - 2 days after your long run.  On my recovery runs, I would run 1:30+ per mile slower than my normal pace.  I threw in a middle distance run in the middle of the week, then 2 more "easy" runs.  *

I think just running consistently will bring your times down.  Be careful not to increase your weekly mileage too quickly if you decide to do this challenge - and Good Luck.  

*I am not a run coach - the above is just what I noticed and what I have been learning about my body and how it responds to running.
