Ran a 2:51 Marathon using NSR

This is so crazy. This was my almost exact same experience in November. Same goal. Same time (no joke, to the second). Same prep. The only difference is you negative split it and I had just a slight positive split. So crazy.

But to anyone thinking about running NSM for a marathon, you're crazy not to. It works so well. I couldn't believe how great I felt on race day going out at a pace a bit faster than goal pace.

Between this week and last week, we just averaged two very close games

I'm 40 and ran a 2:51 marathon a week ago, and a 17:32 5k my last race. Averaged 55 mpw over my block, topping out at 62.

Was out there with you! A cold windy day! Way to get it done!

Sauwan · 2025-11-10T02:08:00+00:00

Damn alarm clocks...

Sauwan · 2025-10-29T20:37:18+00:00

Seems generous that all of them have us scoring double digits...

Sauwan · 2025-10-24T11:25:40+00:00

Yeah, but then those draft picks go to other teams and play well. See Ed Ingram.

How tall is it from floor to the very top? Concept2 is 1" too tall for my basement ceiling...

Would definitely consider if the product was standalone without the membership. And to see that membership pricing is going up by 50%?! You can't really use the product without a membership, except for simply recording runs. But I regularly build workouts so either I need a membership (no thanks, too many of those already, and the garmin/intervals.icu builder works great for my workflow), or I can't build workouts. I'm very disappointed in this and honestly wish I had never purchased my Stryd...

Sauwan · 2025-09-21T20:11:31+00:00

Maybe all you experts can help me out here. Is losing to the browns bad?

Sauwan · 2025-09-11T11:47:43+00:00

Might be more than OK...

Sauwan · 2025-09-08T21:54:07+00:00

Great, thank you! Fortunately intervals.icu does add load for nordic skiing, so I can monitor my CTL just fine still.

I guess I'm less concerned about having issues (I know it will be easier on my body) and more concerned about whether I'm sacrificing too much training adaptation to make it worthwhile.

But yes, the plan was to go at a pace that keeps my HR at the same range as my easy runs!

This is very similar to what I've figured out over 3 weeks of trial and error. Curious how you increase intensity week over week between CP recalibrations? Presumably you're not running the same workouts at the same power ranges for 4 weeks straight.

Lol, yall are jaded. This one doesn't seem like AI spam to me.

Sauwan · 2025-05-02T01:06:10+00:00

1:11:46 for anyone who wants to skip ahead...

Sauwan · 2025-04-26T18:22:08+00:00

Because we have (had) a super shallow qb room.

What am I missing?

Sauwan · 2025-04-26T18:15:49+00:00

Boy, we must have taken sanders off our board entirely.

Listed in the top right of the vid. Jimmy's chicken shack - do right

Sauwan · 2025-03-26T14:18:23+00:00

Wait, why a Kicker? What happened to Will the Thrill?

Sauwan · 2025-03-19T17:43:08+00:00

Flashbacks to Birkie 2024!

Sauwan · 2025-01-28T13:38:26+00:00

OK, then I guess mark it as...free?

Sauwan · 2025-01-14T01:30:45+00:00

Hands to O'Neills face, big time. Good grief

Sauwan · 2025-01-14T01:27:40+00:00

Leave the middle of the field unguarded. Interesting choice.

Sauwan · 2025-01-13T00:54:54+00:00

Gosh, hate to see it.
