felt good coming off acupuncture, which made me pretty sore yesterday. wanted to do a tough-ish workout without overdoing things. my body is still healing, and it's two weeks before comrades. ... read more

little run after talking to a startup about why the employees should run an ultramarathon. didn't convince anyone, but we went for a few miles anyway.

Counting down the days now! Nice run. Do you have a goal for this year?

That's a good goal, and a great way to think about it. My mantra is: Be willing to suffer. I tell my friends who are just getting intro running and are struggling, "If it were easy, everyone would do it." There is a certain, unique pride in pushing your own limits.

not the easiest or smoothest run i've had, but it got done. the weather was great, but even in the 60s my body isn't happy. lost tons of salt, even got a calf cramp in the post-run ice ba... read more

Were you wearing a red shirt and white hat, with a water bottle, by chance? I may have seen you.

RUN
Prospect Park 20.25 mi 02:53 08:32 pace
great day for a run. it's strange being at the peak of training. this wasn't all that taxing. i always have in mind that there's another, harder run still to come.

Manhattan Bridge 7.75 mi 01:06 08:29 pace
back home for what felt like a sluggish run. have a rest day before another big weekend: 20 + 25. hard to believe i'm just nine days out from starting the taper.

Treadmill 6.7 mi 01:00 08:57 pace
more hills on the treadmill. 1 x 1 mile @4%, 2 x 1.5 mile @4%. finding it easier. thought 1.5 miles at 4% would be more laborious, but i felt like i could've had a conversation if i needed to.

Felt humid out there. Heading to Miami tmrw, so figured I'd move up this run. Taking a step back week before final tough two weeks.

Brian, what neighborhood do you start from? What's your route? I'm in Ditmas Park and I need a new long run route. Thought the bridges might be interesting, but have no idea what the best approach is with traffic and lights etc.

I'm in Dumbo, so it's literally right outside my window. (I can see into my apartment on the bridge, which is cool and sorta unnerving.) The Manhattan is nice because it's predictable and not too crowded. They're doing work, so there is a bit of dodging construction workers.

Ah. Yeah the bridge is a few miles from me, and I never know what the best approach is. Flatbush Ave is the most direct, but y'know...it's not a runner friendly road. In general I don't like street running. Too many lights--no flow. Guess I could always take a train to the bridge and go from there.

Yeah, Ditmas is far. One run would be to go to Prospect Park, exit at Eastern Parkway, go down Union to Columbia, where there's a greenway that connects to Brooklyn Bridge Park. From there you get to the bridges. But that's definitely a bit of a hike.
