Cyclists with a "Running" Problem

[Stretch]

Speaking of medals......What do you guys and girls do with all the medals built up over the years ?

 

I did a clean up the other day and just kept the ones with sentimental value but have a bag load of others. Heard something a while back about people donating them to a hospital.

I keep the marathon ones

There are currently no American ultra/trail athletes being out-of-competition (OOC) drug tested by @usantidoping . I would love to see @QUARTZprogram , @usatf , and @ITRA_trail direct funding towards OOC blood profiling and drug testing.

could be worse, could be a local trail run where the rules state you need to have a CSA licence to run.

Hi all

Quick newbie intro here. This thread is really informative (started reading from the beginning!).

 

I started running 4 months ago with C25K (9weeks) then went straight into C10K (6 weeks, completed 1 week ago).

 

I've managed to avoid injuries so far by watching YouTube, getting good shoes (Asics, the Maxed shoes are cheap but they wear fast and started hurting me as the mileage went up) and lately putting a met pad in one shoe (fixed that issue fast).

 

I'm quite surprised at how fast the mileage and speed is building weekly (though I keep the distance increases within 10-20%). This weekend was a real breakthrough as I hit PBs on 5km and 10km, and lost 2 pesky kgs.

 

I've joined the Club Strava board (Graham), and I'm pleased to see myself in 5th today. Woohoo (while it lasts).

 

Thanks for all the great info, and just maybe I'll join the marathon conversations sometime soon.

Sorry Graham just pushed you into sixth spot [emoji23]. Lots of knowledgeable okes on here, I’m not one of them lol.

Wait until the crazy season starts you will need at least 80km to have chance for top 10

Great to see that both Martin and Cecile are back on the road

When does crazy season start/end?

[Jaws677]

Starts ramping up in January and peaks in April

[Ronniek]

So I somehow managed to make the cut for the Three Peaks Challenge. Anybody else here done it previously? All of a sudden I think I might have been too eager to do this [emoji23]

80kms/week? Looks like I'll have to get moving then.

It would depend on your goals. Not all runners are ultra marathon crazies. Loads of sensible people stick to 21km and shorter races only.

 

But the ultra marathon runners will all do at least 80km weeks with the top guys even going to 120km weeks.

Thank you Jaws, had a great training week. Just finished week 3 of the ASICS programme. Slowly getting back into it.

 

Does anyone have info about the Old Ed's 21km profile? Will be my first time doing it this year.

Thanks Jaws. Def wasn't my month. Struggled a lot with my asthma. After seeing a ENT Specialist, he diagnosed me with GERD. So that made my asthma even worse. But after adjusting my diet ( Cutting out all my spicy food, caffeine, Chocolate, sugars, citrus etc), it does feel so much better, and i can finally breath normally when i exercise. But now my food taste bland  .  So i will just write this month off as a dud.

Not sure if it is still the same route though

Surely the sub 4 mile is the bigger achievement?
