Some Running Basics

Here are the vids I was talking about Sunday morning. Some good basics but also some helpful tips - the treadmill one is good.

Track Night

Not a bad crowd at the track. Most folks opted for slow 800's, with some doing slower mile repeats. Folks are chomping at the bit to lengthen these things out a bit, once the cooler weather arrives. A number of people mentioned putting Kiawah Marathon on their calendars.

Any more thoughts for Sunday?

Longer than we thought

Mapmyrun.com has our Sunday run at 16.7 miles. The weather fooled us. It started out seeming pleasant. Then we got mosquitoes. Then we passed the slower runners who had collected an even larger flock of mosquitoes. (To ease our suffering, one of the women in that group entertained us with periodic fits of screaming, while doing the mosquito swat dance.) Then things got warmer, hence slower. We were all shuffling it back to Holy Cow. Let's hope we get some fall weather soon.

See everyone on Tuesday evening.

Sunday 24th

I'm thinking 15 for this Sunday? Same start time. Any thoughts?

Last Sunday

Thanks to Camelia we have the following information from Sunday:
16 miler with an average pace of 8:58/mile.
We started out at around 9:30-9:15 pace, and we picked up the pace around mile 8-10. From mile 10-13 the average pace was around 8:10/mile, the we went back to around 9/mile.

Good but tough!

Sunday Run

Just a quick post to see what is on tap for Sunday? I am riding 100 miles on Saturday so my legs may be a little tired, but lets hope not! I could go for anything from 12 up depending on what others want to do. So what will it be?

Welcome Relief

The weather at the track last night wasn't ideal if you were planning a picnic or parade:overcast, drizzling, about 80 degrees. But it was a welcome change from the sweltering Tuesday nights we've been enduring over the summer.

The group did 800's. Our pace was slightly quicker than what we've seen over the last several weeks. We'll see how things are next week.
