Do you Run?……Walk?….Bike?…..Swim?

Saturday morning cruise

I seem to really hit a wall after 4 miles

Well, you've got quite a climb in that fifth mile, so I can see that.

It’s a grade that takes over 1/2 mile. It feels flat on the run.

BRAG STU Oreo Cow Ride: 28.36 miles, 1408’ elevation gain, 2:15 riding time

Ran the back half of the marathon route and some extra. Did 5 miles at my goal pace for my next marathon. The rest at a more manageable pace.

I love running.

Hit all step goals this week. Weight keeps going down. Going crazy because I'm still not running.

Got out fast the first half mile (for me) to simulate the first half mile of a 5k the cruised the rest of the way.

@Orangeslice13

This one you might enjoy trying. If you want to mix it up a little:

10 minute warmup (easy pace)

1km/.62mi :40 per mile slower than 5k pace
2 min rest(jog or walk)

1km :30 slower than 5k pace
Rest

1km :20 slower than 5k pace
Rest

1km :10 slower than 5k pace
Rest

1km 5k goal pace
Rest

1km(optional) pace

10 minute Cool down (easy pace)

Here is how it looked for me:








I tacked on an extra mile of cooldown, but I think this would be a 4-5.5 mile workout.

I like to do interval workouts once a week. This was fun because it forces you to keep something in reserve for each subsequent push.

I will absolutely give that a shot soon.
Might have to upgrade my app

It looks like you can build a workout in Runkeeper. I miss Runkeeper. Straightforward and reliable.

I will say, the Garmin watch has been a great purchase, one I wish I made a while back.

5k race this morning. Set a PR by 16 seconds. I kind of hate 5ks. I felt like I was bouncing off the rev limiter after .75 miles in. I think my favorite distance is half marathon. You can settle into a rhythm, get a strategy going and then make push.

I love racing.

I think a 5K is the only race I've ever won lol.

A half is probably my favorite distance. Hell, I've ran 15-20ish.

I really like marathon distance. Only downside is if you want to train for a particular time, it’s a serious endeavor.

I’d like to do a trail 50k at some point.
