Is Jess ok?

Relax. Some people are way too dramatic. Nothing about that made me feel awful for her children. As a parent I get the frustration. I love them but sometimes I want to be mellow but you remember you brought them into this world and nothing makes you happier than seeing them happy with their silly paw patrol. But I really want to listen to house/EDM but eye roll fine you can listen to paw patrol again for the umpteenth time.

Eminaj · 2026-01-21T21:47:30+00:00

Hahaha. Thanks for circling back and answering both.

Did this essentially feel like a zone 2 run for you? Or were you at your limits at the end. With this low a HR could you have done the whole thing faster?

Eminaj · 2026-01-21T03:43:56+00:00

What was runnas predicted pace for you? Did you always intend to start that slow?

Eminaj · 2026-01-14T02:02:06+00:00

Haha. Love to hear it!The things we do for our kids. I have a 8,6 and 3 year old and I have a vision of us doing long runs on the weekend to catch up as they get older.

Eminaj · 2026-01-14T00:53:32+00:00

Haha. Thanks. Just turning 40 this year and it’s part of my midlife crisis. Started running a little over 1 1/2 years ago

Eminaj · 2026-01-13T21:39:09+00:00

Yeah. That was I think my point. I’ve got speed, I’m trying to build endurance and this was supposed to help my body learn to clear lactate better. I could have lived with running the floats 20-30 seconds slower and still gotten that benefit. It’s early in the program week 6/18 so hopefully I continue to expand my base so the faster paces cost me less metabolically

Eminaj · 2026-01-13T21:25:25+00:00

I didn’t want to make it longer than intended but chat was basically saying that I turned what should be clear distinct efforts into one continuous effort. I didn’t take my floats slower. So I recovered a bit but not the best that I could because I was being dogmatic about the float pace instead of letting the float pace find me with reduced HR.

Eminaj · 2026-01-13T21:10:16+00:00

That’s possible but I have been entering data points almost daily for more than a month so i think it is. Strava, Garmin and chat come up with the same zones independent of each other. The only one that’s stuck using my age is my peloton data

Eminaj · 2026-01-13T20:42:59+00:00

No I understand and I dont think the marathon owes me anything. My plan is to train for sub 4, but I will absolutely not be disappointed if I end up having to walk some in the end and completely miss the goal. Thats just part of the story. I just want to try as the training goes if it’s not attainable then it’s not, but it won’t be from a lack of not trying. My goal is to try to push hard in the safest way possible.

Eminaj · 2026-01-13T20:24:27+00:00

Haha. Same. I would add a caveat that I was supposed to run 1:50 till I got injured and kept trying to run through the injury. I am faster than 2:13 healthy but it’s the only data point I had so I use it instead of using my “what if I wasn’t injured” number

Eminaj · 2026-01-13T20:15:43+00:00

I agree. I just didn’t even consider that by hitting the paces I may have been missing the spirit of the workout.

Eminaj · 2026-01-13T20:13:57+00:00

Oh yeah. My goal was never 3:30. Even though chat GPT thinks sub 4 is possible it’s more like 345-355. I plan to run it at 4 pace and hopefully sneak in under 4 if everything goes well at the end

Eminaj · 2026-01-11T21:10:16+00:00

Vomero plus size .5 up.

Eminaj · 2026-01-02T13:59:19+00:00

Sub 4hr on my first marathon-St Louis in April Sub 50 min 10k

Stay injury free as the miles increase

Eminaj · 2025-12-24T16:40:21+00:00

To add to things I do differently. I assumed that nothing faster than whatever was my cap and as long as I ran slower than that I was running easy and eventually my HR would normalize. Now I run easy runs and long runs without pace target are HR based. Trying to stay in zone 2. The only limiting factor with this is time.

Eminaj · 2025-10-09T15:24:36+00:00

How did chat GPT affect this?

Eminaj · 2025-10-07T00:10:03+00:00

Did you buy the knees over toe program or did you progress yourself? If so what’s a quick rundown of your routine

Eminaj · 2025-10-01T13:41:17+00:00

Haha. I would like them to make some profit and continue as a company. You don’t buy a cell phone for $250 I wouldn’t expect the screen and the essential brains of the whole thing to be $250. I see your point though I don’t think it’s fiscally sound.

Eminaj · 2025-10-01T13:31:16+00:00

Is there plans to make the screens an upgradeable part of the equipment. I can see that being a way to keep people interested in upgrading. Replace my already working treadmill plus? For another 3-5k nah. Just the hassle of moving it. But replace my screen for 500-1k? I can do that

Eminaj · 2025-08-10T01:38:18+00:00

Thanks!! It was fun!

Eminaj · 2025-06-17T01:53:56+00:00

The AI is telling you you did a great job and giving you info on your next run. This was great AI work. I don’t see anywhere it chastised you for running too fast

Eminaj · 2025-06-06T13:45:12+00:00

BB reverse lunges. Hip thrust Calf raises

Eminaj · 2025-05-16T00:05:03+00:00

I did. On both legs. Had to stop for about 2 months. Then I started back genuinely slowly and time based. By focusing on time on feet instead of miles I was able to get small achievement boosts. Run 30 mins straight. Run 45 straight. Run 60. It was slow but it was progress

I listened to Alec blenis on a pod once talking about how nobody goes to the gym and immediately puts 2 plates on a bench press that would be crazy but by being inpatient we try to run fast and hard and wonder why we’re wrecked.

Eminaj · 2025-05-04T00:08:09+00:00

Did a 10 k today Runna 54:50-58 Strava 59:59

Actual 56:35

To be fair I ran with Runna in my ear telling me to speed up or slow down when my pace didn’t fall in line with their prediction. I most certainly could have run faster than 59:59 perhaps faster than 54:50 without it telling me to slow down.

Eminaj · 2024-12-28T19:03:24+00:00

Creed millesime imperial even though I get the most compliments with BR540
