I would love a 'today's run' or 'today's run and training' thread. I kind of dumped into this one my road running. PS, because of the trail running thread here and chat GPT, I am now doing 2 of my 5x per week runs on trails. Diversity of training compared to road running and reduces injury...

Zone 2 is 70-80% of heart rate max. Most of your training in 60-75% would pretty much cover that. You are primarily burning fat as fuel (which even elites have lots of) and as you start to get anaerobic, you shift from primarily fat to glycogen, which is limited to 90 minutes to 2 hours for...

Be careful out there! We want you around for a long, long time!

Did 4 mile trail run in light hiking boots/heavy runners (the boots I did the back country hike in) yesterday. It was so much fun - beautiful scenery, just getting lost in it. 14 miler this morning on the road. This is the first time in any of my blocks where I do a short easy run the day...

Miss ya Pete

Hondas are so awesome

Good stuff. Also needs to be race specific (e.g. cross country is a shorter distance, therefore more high speed short distance work and relatively less volume). I am definitely a novice, so take my stuff with a grain of salt and maybe I should stop pontificating.

I know there are people on the forum who know more about running than me. But anywho: running slow in that zone two area does two things that other zones do not do as much that let you get faster: 1) over months, it makes you have more mitochondria in the same area of muslce mass, so you put...

The other cool thing - I am averaging about 30 mpw this half block, peaking at 34, but with many weeks above 30. My injury risk actually declines in this block and in future blocks as I approach 38 mpw. Then, over that mpw, my risk will go up (fairly slightly). We are talking about 10-12...

PS - I am finally understanding zone 2 training. I pulled a chart of 4 different 4 mile runs at 143 bpm avg hr from December 24, March, October, and a few days ago. Y axis is pace (declining pace going up) and X is date. It looks like a 1:1 chart pretty much with the arrow climbing 45 degrees...

And it will actually charge relatively fast - 100k, 150, can't remember. Really no flaw for that car for a family size 3 or under.

I set to 66 and forget it on taconic, except the loop of doom where I just go 50-55 and everyone goes crazy around me and then almost hit the median guard rail.

My polling station was nearly empty. They said people don't come out too much for 'off' years.

I would just say one of the few absolute rights we have in life as a citizen is the right to vote (and that you can lose in certain limited circumstances - don't remember the rules in NY). General note that it would be cool if we did not get on each other for how we voted. My bad for...

I don't know a ton about it, but the issue I have with the forever wild language is not the constitution - i think that is cool - it is the interpretation of what that means. I am probably a 5% expert on forestry - ie a complete novice - but I hike enough to know that keeping no management...

How do you look up the county by county results? Interesting to look at. (Thanks!)

This is something they should put into a prop to amend for. I have not met a single person against it. Maybe not done because no special interests with money pushing for it haha

Interesting. As someone uneducated on this I voted yes. I would point out that the forever wild language in the constitution is a double edged sword. You are likely aware, but it does not allow for any healthy forest management (at least some of us must know more about this than me): there...

PS for those of use exercising the right to vote, there was a ballot initiative about adding 1,000 plus acres to preserve (amending the state constitution no less) to add to skiing. I presume it is Gore (said Essex county). I voted yes haha.
