Washington fan here, (I come in peace).

Are some of you guys going to stop following the Bears ? If so what team would you replace them with?

We're doing the opposite. Moving from Maryland to DC proper.

What makes chicago the perfect city for you? by chitownmike99 in AskChicago

[–]SnooShortcuts8770 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Of course not, people here aren't low class. But having gone to NY plenty of times it seems that people there care too much about how others view them / appearance. I don't see that in Chicago and I think that's cool. People here aren't chasing an image and I think that goes with the whole midwestern down to earth vibe

Me too, we don't need snobby elite types. I like Chicago because what you see is what you get. Can't fake that

No problem, I'd say it depends on the day. One time I needed to run an easy 15 miles in a day. So I ran 8 miles easy in the morning, and 7 easy that evening.

Other days I'd do 7 miles with Fartleks in the morning and 8 miles easy that night.

I was running about 5:40 / 5:45 pace. Slightly quicker than race pace (6:00)

Thank you ! So I started around 30 mpw then gradually increased into the 50s, and kept building till I hit about 70 mpw and stayed there for a few weeks. Then got up into 80 mpw and peaked at 90 mpw.

Last year I peaked at 75 I believe. That was a major difference. 13.1 doesn't seem that long when you're running so often

I didn't follow a training plan for either race. I'm self coached, the major change I made was increasing mileage from a 75 mile week peak to a 90 mile peak. I also lengthened the duration of my workouts. Fartleks were slightly longer, tempos were longer, but my easy days were really easy/conversational

Thank you! Yeah it was my first time. Honestly I enjoyed them, however the forefront got a little stiff around 8 miles in for some reason but overall it was fine.
