30 runs in 30 days - who's with us? (Page 52)

#83 today.  4 Easy Treadmill miles.

Had a hard 8 mile tempo run go south on me yesterday, barely being able to complete 3 miles at pace.  I legged out 7 miles total, most of which were at a recovery pace.  Given this, I wasn't sure how today's run would fare.  It was actually quite easy - legs felt fresh and I could have easily continued on.  

DaveL - 2013-02-15 2:48 PM not feeling super healthy, really tired, knees are sore but run #3 done at 10pm. Thats 10% done

Well done for getting 'er done when you least feel like it...those ones count more.

Run at a pace that seems ridiculously slow.  Stay there until you have no pain.....then stay another week....then move up a distance that seems ridiculously small.

Repeat.

yup, exactly what I am trying to do. 20min - usually around 3km.

thanks for the encouragement.

#6 - another short 20min

+10% for next week.

From #160 "just to keep the streak alive" to 8 miles for #161, nice bouncing back.

#119

Calf still a bit stiff, but can run on it. Training volume has been going up a bit, 2.5 h(swim+run) on fri, 3 h on sat(bike+run), and 8 mile run today, cold and windy. 

Thanks!

My idea, as I get ready to ramp up to IM training, is that I can get a "rest day" by running for 20 minutes or so, and keep the streak alive.  That's the first day I did it, or really felt the need.  I was a bit sick, and my legs had felt really flat for a few days.  After the "rest day" today was really good.  My legs felt fresh again.

I ran with my son and my oldest daughter.  My son took off after 4 miles and ran some intervals....my daughter and I just trudged on.  I really felt like I wanted to put some "faster" miles in.  My daughter said, "daddy, just because you can doesn't mean you should"...and so we just ran it out at 9:25 pace.  

The goal for me is to RUN the IM run portion of the race I'm training for. (Tahoe)  I don't care about anything else.  

#120

20 min active recovery.

Muskrat here... remember me streakers?  I know, I know... it's been a long time.  

Just wanted to check in and say congrats to everyone.  Seriously inspiring to read along, see all the streaks and the gains.  

Left Brain... Awesome job bud!  

I'm about to start an IM training plan...so prolly won't streak, but will be heavy on the running.  Will be thinking of all you streakers on those days I don't think I can run.  

Keep up the great work!
