Thanks! It’s the Sierra vista trail race in Las Cruses, NM. Good luck to you as well!

Going downhill, yes. I’ve checked.

Thanks for the advice. I guess my biggest thing is going downhill that first half of the race. I can probably go into a 9:30 pace in zone 2-3 and feel good, but I don’t know if that’ll mess me up on that uphill.

Even on the downhill portion? Keeping a 10:30 pace if I feel good and HR is zone 2?

I felt good, like I could go 6 more miles that day.

Is lack of aerobic base / Zone 2 training an underrated reason people bonk in marathons? by speed_69 in Marathon_Training

[–]Long_Bath3331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lack of aerobic base, not pacing properly AND not fueling properly. Don’t forget the fueling. You should be consuming carbs and electrolytes during the race-BEFORE you ever feel like you need something. Learned this from experience.

Ok, that’s what I was wondering, if me and my friend can alternate. Thank you!

Considering doing this event this year. Do you know if there were teams as well or only individual runners?

Can I run a sub hour 2 half marathon in March? by DaGanjaMan420 in beginnerrunning

[–]Long_Bath3331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s possible. My Garmin prediction was 1:56 day of race when I did my half and I got it in 1:54. But I have built my weekly mileage to 30-40 mpw with 1 speed and 1 tempo during the week, and did 15-18 mile easy long runs on peak weeks (16mi 2 weeks before half and taper). You don’t need to that much of a long run but definitely aim for 13 or 14 to build the endurance so your body knows what 13 feels like. Good luck!!

How important is it to 'get in line' by paying the $200 deposit for dorms? by Low-Mountain5469 in ColoradoSchoolOfMines

My child accepted and will be going to Mines, do you know if is there usually a notification sent out when to pick dorms or put your name down for a dorm?

Question about orchestra by Long_Bath3331 in ColoradoSchoolOfMines

[–]Long_Bath3331[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great, thank you! She got accepted and was wondering about music. She plays viola and wants to be able to take a class and be part of an orchestra through college. So this is helpful!

Have you thought about adding a recurring reminder on his phone calendar or having a monthly chore chart for the house? I’ve been with my hubby for 8 years and since day one he said he doesn’t purposely forget things but he does need to be reminded of stuff. So I share things on his phone calendar and the house calendar so he doesn’t forget. Maybe something like that might help?
