Bad night sleep and another shitty run.
I guess I lost a bunch of fitness during my several week long break from running, and now I'm struggling to run within my limits and keep my HR low. T... read more

Definitely better than the last run. In part it might be because of the green silence shoes which I love. But I still ran way too fast and pushed myself too hard. Need to make sure I take the ne... read more
5k races @#%#@$*( kill me. Twice in a row, a week after I've run a 5k, I've totally burnt out, and stopped training. This time I took more than 2 weeks off training. Maybe I need to re... read more
New shoes. See previous run.
No better. When barefoot or with minimalistic shoes, my left foot turns inward a bit to compensate for leg length problems. With a more significant shoe, the foot... read more
New shoes. My toes were banging into the end of my ST 5s on the long runs, so I bought a half-size bigger.
They feel totally different. I've got more toe room, and I'm pushing off my... read more
In good news, overall a very solid run. 630 feet of climbing with 76% avg HR and 10:10min/mi avg pace. Later on in the run, I was comfortably running at sub-8min mile with a HR under 83%.
But ... read more
Still sore from yesterday.
Super slow and easy recovery run.
Flat, warm and windy.
Some soreness in my left achilles at mile 3 which went away. Suffered at bit over the last few miles and my HR drifted upwards. But finished relatively solidly. And I... read more
6.5 miles of hills, with an average HR of 76%
Not bad at all....
Just an easy two mile jog. Keeping it super easy today to recover after yesterday's race.
New 5k PR!
Went out too fast on the first mile, suffered on the next two.
Warmup and cooldown.
Recovery run, in prep for Sunday's race.
After 1.5 miles, I was having bad foot pain. Realized it was being caused by rather bizarre suppination. Stopped, pulled apart my shoe, and realized... read more
Went out with my speed shoes today, and ran much slower than I wanted to. Some of that it due to general stiffness in my legs, but also starting out too fast, the heat, wind, and hill at the end, ... read more
Solid performance over hills on a hot day w/ a low average HR of only 77% (82% max).
Had pain in my right foot over the first half of the run. Found and fixed the problem on the 2nd half. With... read more
Recovery run.
Super slow and easy with a, barely beating, average HR of 66%.
Some soreness across my right foot 1/2 way through the run, fixed by tightening laces.
Some stiffness at the end o... read more
Note - I've never done a run with a HR that low before. And I feel _great_ afterward.

I was feeling a bit sore and tired before the run, but once I started I relatively easy cruised through the miles. At mile 10, my legs were feeling tired, but I told myself "I am an Ironman! ... read more

First real road run with my new Green Silence shoes.
Was pretty damn mediocre. Still stiff from yesterday's run. Fighting a strong wind. HR went up high way to early, and stayed too high t... read more
After the previous run's disaster with 1mm of leg lift, I went back to where I started. 2mm of full foot left. And, yep, that's what I need in my distance shoes.
And I need no leg lift... read more
Wow, that's impressive on hills! Good job!
