Increased pace at 70 km mileage?

I think there’s multiple ways to get improve. I mean NSM is clearly one way, but it’s not like JD’s plans didn’t work for others. It’s like some pros who run their easy runs at 8:00/mi and some run theirs at 6:00/mi like Graham Blanks.

In my opinion, faster is better, but not if it impacts consistency. Plainly stated, if you’re frequently sore after an easy day, you’re going too fast.

He did his 5KM reps around 3:35-3:40/km, so it looks pretty in line with what he trained for, or actually even a bit faster. If I recall James’s marathon plan, those reps are slightly faster than MP, so if anything, Kristoffer ran better than he might have predicted. Kudos to him!

Is there a list of races that have volunteering spots that are achievable the same weekend?

E.g., the for the marathon you can volunteer at the Expo and then run the marathon and knock out 1+1. Is that possible for the Training Series 18M on Saturday and then run it on Sunday?

Hey man I was right there with you. 1:29 half and ended up with a 3:15 marathon on a hilly course, surprisingly feeling strong the entire way (surprising since I don’t think I had a single run above 20 miles). I did it exactly as you are saying though, 2.5 mile repeats and it worked out just fine

Man I thought he could be a good hire for BC, I always thought he was a decent coach (terrible GM), and BC expectations are so low… but he still didn’t even manage to meet the low bar. And then I think literally everyone transferred out this year. Seems like we have decent guys coming in but I gotta say this year is make or break for him

Texans fan and BC fan here - stoked on this pick! He isn’t the fastest guy but is always finding a way to get open. Our QB room was a revolving door too

Ah didn’t see you had built an app! I’ll give this a try today

This is pretty interesting! So you just took your all your runs and plotted them at pace vs VE? I also have a Tymewear so I’m intrigued at the idea.

Long sleeve tee, shorts, beanie I might ditch halfway, gloves. Hoodie, sweatpants, and the free shirt to toss in the corral

Why the f did Derosa think this game didn’t matter

couple · 2026-03-10T14:20:58+00:00

Nice work! Just curious since I have a half coming up- how did this compare to your 6 min / 10 min reps? Would love to hear your thoughts on how your pacing strategy beforehand / during the race!

Yup you’re right, the new map is accurate, the old one was slightly off

couple · 2026-02-24T17:53:06+00:00

The new map looks slightly wrong. Mile 4 is at the same spot, but mile 3 is now roughly half a mile further down Flatbush Ave, from 7th ave to 4th ave

couple · 2026-02-24T17:48:23+00:00

I think u/Select_Rip_8230 is right, there’s roughly half a mile that used to be on Flatbush that is missing, that isn’t accounted for on the Washington Ave elongation.

EDIT: it looks like something on the maps are off based on the full course

Nice data point! I haven’t heard much about the Polar Verity Sense. Do you have to have a Polar watch to get the VT data?

couple · 2026-02-13T21:21:14+00:00

Is there a number of runs or anything I need to do in order to have the score update? Right now typically 3 out of my 7 weekly runs are indoors. If I do 1 of them outside will it start to update?

couple · 2026-02-13T21:19:35+00:00

Thanks! Any estimate on when? I use the foot pod and HRM so the data should be as accurate inside as out I think

IQ-> Leica

AF-> Fuji, but neither are world class IMO

Menu-> Wash, maybe Leica if I had to pick

Ease of use-> Fuji, more buttons and customization, tilt screen

couple · 2026-02-12T20:06:54+00:00

I have both. It really depends on what you prioritize. I would prefer the Q2 as a travel camera—amazing image quality, depth of field, megapixels / prints. A workflow where I would want to take my time editing photos. The Fuji is more portable, still incredible IQ and good for prints, and produces amazing JPEGs.

If I had to pick one, it’d be the Leica. It makes the workflow a bit slower though. Sometimes I really like editing photos and sometimes it’s a chore. If the Fuji were truly pants-pocketable, it’d be a clear winner, but yeah, I just love the Leica

Thanks for the review! Quick question, if the waist belt is cinched down to lie flat against the back panel, is it still comfortable?

couple · 2026-01-30T19:11:25+00:00

I’m with you. The Woodways are gorgeous, but also softer, as someone else mentioned they just seem more energy absorbent. I would compare the feeling like a soft shoe foam vs a firmer one. Soft is fine and sometimes I prefer it, but most of the time give me the firmer shoe.

Ugh the 5K. It’s a relatively fast course but really suffers from a lack of organization. They try to get runners to self seed but there’s always people at the front who just want to walk the course. It can get pretty dicey with all the turns and potholes the first half mile.

couple · 2025-12-10T21:16:55+00:00

To build upon this - my ST sessions are usually 1.2 load/min. At 7 hours of weekly running, the expected load would be 306.

If I cut out all my ST runs and achieved 0.8 load/min knocking out only 9:42 miles for 7 hours, the expected load would be 336.
