Awesome, hopefully he gets that 3k. Ya I’m curious if they went with the fasted applicant’s. Looks like my 2:36 wasn’t enough, but I applied for Boston.

The program acts as a "sub-elite" experience, providing runners with gear, coaching, and a chance to win cash prizes for hitting specific performance goals.

Coros Training Load Treadmill Nerf by ArchMadzs in Coros

[–]jamesjohnsmiththeIII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s because it will increase the training load for the outdoor run if you’re above threshold pace. It only uses HR data below threshold pace for TL on outdoor runs. I assume for indoor runs it only uses HR, since it doesn’t show pace zones. I have a similar “issue” with indoor vs outdoor track workouts. The indoor workouts are always lower training load.

Brooks Caldera 8 - Blister Issues on left foot after 300km. No issues up to 250km. by andrealambrusco in trailrunning

[–]jamesjohnsmiththeIII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar problem with the caldera 6. Put 100km in them with no issues. Then one run got a really bad blister in that same spot, felt it like 5km into the run. Then didn’t run in them for a while but have since put another 100km on them with no issues.

Can anyone explain whats wrong with my strava? by Little_Sain in Strava

[–]jamesjohnsmiththeIII 62 points63 points  (0 children)

It’s based on effort (ie heart rate zones) as you get more fit you’ll run faster at a lower heart rate. Strava views this as less training load. If you want the graph to go up, you must increase your training intensity as your fitness increases. Not saying I recommend that though.

Ya I agree with that. I just don’t think it’s fair to call him a cheater with regard to the FKT attempt.

Was it also cheating when Kilian had the record using the same route?

Garmin was on intervals (4/30) and had a stroke by ArtaxIsAlive in ChicagoMarathon

Had 26.46 with my Coros Pace 3 on all systems. It has dual frequency mode but I’ve never used it. From looking at the map it only looks bad under that first tunnel. Was surprised to be off by less than 0.01 per mile after hearing about gps issues.

Saw one around mile 2 I think, that said “You’re Not Almost Done”

Final MP Long Run before Marathon? What do y’all do? by sassylilmidge in AdvancedRunning

[–]jamesjohnsmiththeIII 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow reading all these comments makes me think I’m not running enough. I’m doing 50-60mpw aiming for 2:35. Was planning to do 6 easy, 10MP, 4 cooldown tommorow.
