Meb interview (podcast) (or you can follow Meb on twitter). Listened to this during my workout today. The roads had cleared enough to run outside, but I went to the mill to get some turnover on something measured versus fighting the snow. Did two miles to warm up (8:41, 8:11 – tried to keep the warm up real real real easy), and then did 4 minutes on, 2 minutes off. I started these fairly conservatively because while I was ready mentally to get after it, I had a bit of hesitation over my left calf. It held well. In the four minutes, I would up the pace every 80 seconds, and so it made for “thirds” in the repeat. Started the first at 10 mph (6 min / mile) and so would up it at 1:20 to 10.1, and then at 2:40 to 10.2. I would then start the next one at 10.1 and repeat the routine. Did seven of the 4 on 2 off – with all the 2s being at 6mph (10 min/mile). The miles hence came out as 6:44, 6:39, 6:35, 6:31, 6:27, 6:24. Warmed down with just under 2 miles (8:38, 8:12) for 10 miles in 73 minutes. Felt that I did not work too hard in this workout – because of the conservative calf approach. We’ll see how it reacts through the rest of the day.
Mackey posts about a trip to Peru, that sounds pretty scary.

Old school lay-out, nice. Where's that pic of the feet? But I see you working. . . whatever is on the horizon aka goal, GZ's got that bumping on his header photo.
ReplyDeleteSmoke that grass you crazed 40 something runner dude.
Btw, what happened to footfeathers?
I sort of got sick of the old format and decided on a whim to go simple. I had aspirations for doing a lot more (like on some blogs) but I really don't have time for that.
ReplyDeleteThe toes (all nine of them) weirded some folks out. I like Alan C so I am enjoying him getting some props in what was a great race. In that race when he zoomed by me, I heard the roar of the crowd for him before I ever heard him. In fact, I never heard him - just the crowd.
Footfeathers is still banging away at it I am sure. Just doing his thing. He will be back at it soon.
The goal for Club XC is still sub 30 ... which is sort of slow compared to where I once was, but it is realistic for where I currently am.
Glad to see you getting serious about it - and the fuel - diet thing. I think I read somewhere we ought to all treat our food not as food ... but as a drug.
That's actually one of the thoughts I kept having on that little strict detox diet last week that spawned my awakening. "The food is medicine." I know that sounds cheesy but the Zico coconut water, for instance, was like this f-ing elixir, after a run, can't eat, oh wait 5 pumpkin seeds, but then that juice would bring me back to life. The smoothies, the oatmeal, the salads the f-ing dressings. It all started to add-up and the body just kept saying, nice.
ReplyDeleteI'm fired up on it.
I'm also totally losing my mind right now from reading a SHIT load of freshman comp. They can't read, nor can they write -- granted without the first part they're f-ed and anyways ;aljfljadsf;lajlldlajd;
SUB 30!
