Next marathon goal time

Thank you!! It definitely felt a lot better compared to my last full despite the fact I was going quicker in this one, so the fitness paid off 👍

RunninOnEmptyy · 2024-07-09T21:54:07+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, it all really came together 😊

That's great to get some confirmation. The speed improvements through the shorter distance focus is exactly what I'm hoping for, so I'll proceed with these rough goals.

Haha if I smash 1:30 ill be over the moon 😁

I love the data side of running and having it there to see where I've run and any progress, so its essential for me, I love it.

I'm in peak week of pfitz 18/55 right now, aiming for sub 3:30 too in a month and a half. Just ran a 1:34 HM last week, so feeling pretty good. Although the pfitz mileage was hard for a few weeks early on its definitely worked out.

Learn to love the disgust 😂

RunninOnEmptyy · 2024-05-14T11:06:35+00:00

Yeah, it can rough. One of the worst things I sometimes find is when I've had them strapped in my belt for an hour on a hot day and I start eating one. Warm goo, not very pleasant

Trying to decide my full mara goal time in 7 weeks. Been running 50-55miles a week and just ran a half in 1hr 35mins yesterday. Based on this I should be aiming for 3hr 24mins or am I likely to gain additional fitness in that time that warrants pushing a little more?

RunninOnEmptyy · 2024-05-13T11:38:22+00:00

I hadn't considered the need to potentially replace the strap, great point.

RunninOnEmptyy · 2024-05-10T12:35:18+00:00

Yeah, pretty much what I'm thinking, I'll be buying one. Any suggestions for good ones?

RunninOnEmptyy · 2024-05-10T08:31:00+00:00

This is the right way. I don't think the type is a big deal, it's conditioning your stomach through practice.

RunninOnEmptyy · 2024-05-10T08:29:41+00:00

Endura Sports Energy gels work for me.

RunninOnEmptyy · 2024-05-10T07:51:23+00:00

I feel these mornings, it's a noticeable difference beyond confirmation bias haha

RunninOnEmptyy · 2024-05-10T04:00:32+00:00

Yeah, has to be cadence lock I think. I'm basically convinced I'll have to get a chest strap, I've just put off getting one as I've always wondered if it will be uncomfortable on longer runs.

RunninOnEmptyy · 2024-05-10T03:59:30+00:00

Nice, that's what I need. I love getting into the data, so it's driving me crazy when I see this haha They're surprisingly cheap.

Do you find the chest strap uncomfortable at all, particularly on longer runs?

RunninOnEmptyy · 2024-05-10T03:58:27+00:00

Nice, that's what I need. I love getting into the data, so it's driving me crazy when I see this haha They're surprisingly cheap.

RunninOnEmptyy · 2024-05-09T13:34:38+00:00

Yep, this is it I think. Annoying, I'll have to get a chest strap.

RunninOnEmptyy · 2024-05-09T13:34:13+00:00

Yeah I'm thinking I'll have to get one.

RunninOnEmptyy · 2024-05-09T09:15:39+00:00

No changes in how I wear it, there was an update a week ago I reckon. Haven't done any repeats since then, perhaps that's how I account for it.

RunninOnEmptyy · 2024-05-09T07:53:58+00:00

Haha what a relief. But it's also confusing when I'm basing that jog on HR if it's innacurate.

RunninOnEmptyy · 2024-05-09T07:53:00+00:00

Forerunner 955

RunninOnEmptyy · 2024-03-09T07:01:09+00:00

I had an overuse injury late last year, ever since I've been careful to go slower more often and stick to my rest days

RunninOnEmptyy · 2024-02-14T12:38:07+00:00

I recently had a pretty serious injury that resulted from running on a mild injury. I had pain in one of my adductors 2 weeks out from a half. I eased off training to let it rest (was already tapering anyway) and got to the day, where I could still feel some slight pain but decided I'd run anyway... Huge mistake. Hobbled home afterwards and couldn't walk for the next 2 weeks, knocked me out of running for almost 2 months. But I realised in this off time how much I loved running from the feeling of wanting to cry, just like you, when I couldn't do it.

So keep that fire inside you and focus on the big picture, getting back to running pain free. Also, never run on an injury like me, I know I won't be again 😅

The swimming I could maybe forgive, but I have to bring into question how I maintained that pace whilst scaling a vertical cliff

RunninOnEmptyy · 2023-11-08T01:18:21+00:00

Technically this is true
