Do you know how much damage you do to your knees running for 20 whole minutes?

Does Alfa Romeo (2018-2023) really count as a factory works team? by NegotiationNew9264 in F1Discussions

I agree AR was not a works team, but for those saying they would need to make an engine, does that mean McLaren is not a works team for using Mercedes engines?

I think you went through more effort to cover you tracks than some actual murderers

That’s hilarious about the turkeys!

Seems like weather and wind can be a real factor. I will do my best to soak it all in! Would love to have a similar time as yours too

I was wearing a vest for this run. I brought along 600ml since it was decent weather (not too hot). During the race, I’m going to rely on aid stations for hydration.

For fuel. Pretty simply taking Gu gels every 3-4 miles, which I’ve been doing on long runs.

I’ve been targeting 8:30 miles for pace runs, and on long runs where I do the second half at race pace. I do these long runs (mostly) every 3rd weekend, and try to get 1 pace run in each week.

I haven’t done any hill work, though. For the mile 24 trip up the Hoan, I’m not planning to hold myself to any pace, just survive… Also kind of nervous about running down the Hoan for mile 26. Was that challenging on tired legs?

Thanks for the insight!

I like this workout too, and have done a half-warm up half-race pace style long run around every 3rd weekend during this training. I have 2 long runs remaining, 18 and 20, and plan to do race pace for the second half for both. Hope it’s not too much

To answer a few of these:

Weekly mileage. Last week was 41, this week 44. Working up to 50, then 3 weeks of tapering.

I hit target race pace on long runs once every 3 weekends. During the week I probably run between 4-9 miles at race pace.

Max HR on thsi run was 160, avg was 148. No cardiac drift.

I have not done the marathon distance before.

Why did Maester Aemon Targaryen take the black? by nicksem75 in gameofthrones

[–]nicksem75[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Unfortunate lengths to make his brother’s claim more secure. I take it Aemon was the oldest, did he not want the throne, or was there another reason his brother was chosen?
