Enjoy your weekend running! We had t-storms this morning so my schedule is getting adjusted. I typically don't trust the weather.com people, though, because they would scare me into believing we have rain or snow every day.

Thanks Kenny and Julie!!!

6/25 -

7 miles at MP. I decided to run the first mile all of of feel and not look at my watch until mile one. Mile one was at 6:50 and I thought to myself that wasn't so bad. I held steady at 6:50 for around 6.75 miles and then actually picked it up a tick the last quarter mile or so before coasting it home. Final totals 7.22 miles at 6:48 pace. It definitely was not as exhausting as last weeks 7 miler at MP (7.26 miles at a 6:55 pace). All in all a great run!! Now let's see how my body reacts tomorrow, as a 15 miler is on the schedule Smile

6/26 -

Up and at it early this morning as I had to get in a 15 mile LSD before heading to the Chicago suburbs to take in some horse racing!!

I went out this morning just want to to take it easy and put my miles in...You know, just see how the pace fell. Things couldn't of went much better. I put in another great run, 15.28 miles at a 7:47 pace and an average heart rate of 138!! My legs felt fine after churning out 7 at 6:48 yesterday...

Whoa, that's a pretty awesome back-to-back weekend. Your LSD is only 52 seconds slower than MP. Crazy.

Wow speedy! Maybe you should have teamed up with someone and put a horse costume on and just put money on yourself. You don't even need to be the ass! You could be ..... wait for it....

Marathoner with an ass? Razz

Nice run and hope you won on Tiger!!

Haha! Chas! I agree...love the idea of putting on a horse costume and putting money on him to win! Haha!

Nick, outstanding performances on your runs. It has to be a great confidence boost to knock these runs out at the pace you're doing them, with the HR you're at. Great job, keep up the good work!

Week 4 total = 41.43 miles

Thanks everyone for the positive feedback. I am a little nervous that my long runs are a little fast, but my heart rate (and my body) are telling me that I am not.


I did win on Tiger, but "Run Nickie Run" was a dud. And if I could run as fast as those horses, I would put on the costume!!

If your long runs are falling in your HR range and that is the way you monitor your long runs then I won't worry about. Most likely what is happening is that your fitness is getting better so you might want to maybe start to rethink your goals for this coming fall if you are finding that the paces are at the faster end of what you thought you should be doing. Just a thought

I have a feeling that those times may slow down a little bit when I get my weekly mileage up into the 60s and 70s. I guess if they don't I could look at adjusting my goal. Although, after last years disappointing injury at Chicago, I may just want to finish one at a decent time. We'll see how things go.

Thanks for the advice...

Nick, those are some pretty awesome runs you are having. The HR fall off is really low, so I think Schuey has a point that you may be in better condition than you think, and capable of better times than you may have targeted. It'll be interesting to watch as you ramp up the miles, but I suspect you will be pleasantly surprised.

Back at it again this afternoon. 4.20 miles at a 7:36 pace. 7.28 miles are in the books this week, as I am on my way to a nearly 50 mile week. I'll be in the seventies before I know it!!

Great run Sunday. Judging by hr it looks pretty good. Some drift in hr towards last few miles but pretty normal when you get into 15miles. I tend to run lsd at around 76-80% of max. Where are you at? That may help you determine if you're going too fast.

You are churning out some good stuff Nick! It will be great to see you nail your race at Steamboat. Are you shooting for 3:20? Or beyond?

Yes, the heart rate drifted a little at the end, but I think that was due to the raise in temperature and the fact that I was on mile 13, 14, and 15. My max heart rate is 185, so I ran that one at about 75%.

Great training! Will 3:05 be a PR? I hope the weather and everything cooperates on race day to help you make your goal because you're putting in such good running.

I think based on this a 3:05 goal is very reasonable for you. I think sub 3:00 can be in the cards as well but to play it a drop safer I would stick with 3:05.
