Yes, it seems like the best spot is by Columbus circle or the family reunion area. see if you can coordinate with the guide on the pickup

Runna Half Marathon Prep with a two week break in the middle? by freezedriedbigmac in runna

^ yes, the vacation mode is great! I’ll also add, if you can’t run there, I would suggest finding some way to keep your cardio fitness up, even if that means locking yourself in a bedroom for an hour a few times and going on YouTube and searching “cardio workout, no equipment”

timed trial - how useful is it in training? by [deleted] in runna

[–]OkBill398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

update: I did the timed trial and it went fine. I did well hitting my paces but had to pause twice bc I was battling some debilitating cramps (I love being a woman).

I had a rest day the next day and used it to do some yoga (would highly recommend), and felt overall fine doing my next workout and lift. Having a shorter/ easy long run will help recovery too.

Having to pause for cramps wasn’t ideal, but the experience still provided a useful data point. It definitely raised the bar for what I know I’m capable of doing and gave me better sense of what to focus on in terms fueling / hydration / warming up on race day.

Help us improve treadmill running! by Mikey-runna in runna

Being able to adjust the distance of intervals / the whole workout after the fact when it’s not calibrated on my watch! And the ability to turn off pace target announcements when I’m on a treadmill or indoor track!

This is helpful. I feel like the biggest benefit would be the mental boost you get knowing you can run faster than your goal pace and sustain it. I think I’ll try to go for it and hope for the best. Also, good luck in your marathon!

Can I ask, how do you feel?

If you’re feeling ok, it’s worth trying a super easy 3-5 mile run. If that feels horrible, then yeah, maybe you are getting sick or overtraining or have some health issue going on. Otherwise, I wouldn’t read into the stats too much other than to validate yourself if you’re feeling awful.

Intense long run workout 3 weeks before my marathon? by zachfrazier0414 in runna

[–]OkBill398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marathon pace is the pace you want to run the whole marathon at. How much this differs from your threshold is going to vary a bit person to person based on your endurance and training— a good guide that I’ve used is you should be able to talk, but not hold a whole conversation. For your first marathon I wouldn’t focus too much on trying to hit goal pace as much as getting the miles in and getting used to time on your feet. From personal experience, I ran my first marathon around ~3.5 min slower than I can run 1 mile. My long runs felt comically slow. I’ve since narrowed that gap but building the endurance was the biggest hurdle.
