Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() 50'30" on the dreadmill, but focused on keeping the HR low - averaged 131. Starting to put the advice of Maffetone into practice. It was a very different way for me to run since I am usually about 20 bpm higher. It was kinda nice - felt like I could go all day if it wasn't so boring. |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() | ![]() When I started base training (141-151) in November, I had a blazing 13:00 pace. I was cheaping away and saw 11:30s a few weeks ago. Now, I'm back in the 12:15-12:30. GRRR...it's going the wrong way. I ran 16 yesterday and avg 149 with a 12:00. I'm eating the same, weather conditions are the same, I'm not sick. What could it be? I just started reading the Big Book. Is the answer in there? |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Bike 10.76 miles @ 41'41" Cold wasn't that bad, but trying to keep my cadence up in the dark proved difficult. Is there a way to keep the backlight on for the Garmin Forerunner 305? Still not good enough to go by feeling, so average cadence went from 94 in my last 2 rides to 89.

Veteran![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Question: I just got off the waitlist for a 20 mile trail run on January 21. http://emilyberriochoa.com/Frozen50k/ Its supposed to be pretty brutal. I didnt think that I'd get in so my most recent long run has only been 12 miles. I was initially really excited about this run but am now scared. Should I do it? What would you do? I know that I can finish it just might suck. And I dont want to get injured. What should I do? Bag it? My A race is Boise 70.3 in June. |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I broke down and got in on the Cervelo deal and got a new P2 yesterday. Looking forward to getting to ride on it. Was actually amazed on how much stiffer it felt as compaired to my current bike. Spent about an hour and got fitted so it is ready to go. |

If you are decided to go for it (I wouldn't advice because you don't have the long runs in) then put a long run this weekend lilke say 18 miles and start cutting it back. By no means run longer than 14 after this weekend. The other thing you can do (in addition) is to do the race very slow from the moment the gun goes off. |

Thanks. I've decided I'm not going to do it. I'm just bummed because I could have done the training for it if I had known that I was going to get it. It would have been easy to go for long runs the last two weekends. Next year. |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Started the day on the trainer. Spinervals 5.0 Mental toughness. My MPH would have been higher but he has you get off and do the isometric squats of 3 minutes (or you can stand and ride in Big ring/12). After yesterday's trainer workout I was a bit worried, felt the burn early in the workout. Guess that's why its mental toughness! 1:26'27" 19.42miles.

The other thing you can do (in addition) is to do the race very slow from the moment the gun goes off.Looking at your logs I think you clearly have the base and ability to gut it out, run 20 miles and get it done. I checked out the race site - sounds like an epic race. I did my first trail run last year pacing a friend for 16+ miles so I get that your pace will be a lot less and would include walking, etc. But, given the elevation change (4500') and time of year I would say no on doing the race. There are 2 aid stations on the run and it looks to mainly be runner supported. With the 20 mile distance, high elevation and chance of inclement weather I think you are taking a large personal risk if you aren't comfortable running that distance and elevation change. Have you considered doing the 10 mile race instead? . Edited by dangremond 2012-01-03 10:57 AM |

Have you considered doing the 10 mile race instead? . I did consider the 10 mile but it also has a waitlist. The problem is that the day I went to signup, the paper carried an article about the race and it was sold out before I realized it. I think that I'm going to pass on the race and try it next year. There's another easier 20 mile trail run in April that I might do instead - where it wont be dark, freezing, possibly snowing, and it has less elevation gain.
