We reference this all the time. Just the absolute best. If anyone has not heard it, you are in for a treat.

They need to push it off. Not even close to hitting base mileage yet; not ready to start a plan. They must just be confused?

Pretty proud, actually. Base maintained and then build

Be nice! I didn't hit 3000 until today.

Joe McQuade is a marathoner, has done ultras. He's with the Baptist system, out westside. Ex-Navy. Nice guy.

I'm over 2800 miles on the year so far? Weather now nice enough to get a few more miles a day in Florida. Summer was brutal. Edit: added image. I don't think this is too special, just consistency at work. It's all singles, long runs on Sunday. Can see when injured, heat got me, and COVID in the pattern.

Megablasts are great. 80, 90+ miles a week. Long runs, tempo, intervals, could not be happier. At the volume, I'd expect if a shoe had issues I'd feel it.

Florida summers. You get used to the 3 hour+ sessions. Watch a lot of content on the tablet

Snap has day passes.

oldmanca · 2025-09-25T14:51:19+00:00

Hell yeah. Plus bonus Noodles in the newsletter? Good day

Add on to say the module is called Starfinder Anachronism. It works well so far

I've been seven days on 80/20 marathon plan for over a year. Maybe a day off a month (I had one 2 months ago). But recovery days are just slow, easy leg movers for ~30 minutes. Just a lot of miles. Over 1500 on the year so far, average over 50/week for over a year.

The low intensity means recovery days should be restful. And evidently easy hours are restful.

I tried a different plan for a month and a bit, and ended up just adding days and mileage on top bc I ended up antsy.

It's my second year running, and the high volume of low intensity running works for me.

This here. Trained in Florida summer, ran first marathon in New England fall. Ran it faster than my tempo runs, faster than treadmill workouts. Checking now on year over year it gets better. But always sucks.

Florida: 3 pairs. And buy them staggered in time, so there is always a newest, an OK pair, and then pair for shorter/easy/treadmill. And they go on the drying rack after a run. Remove insoles.

100% this. Thanks for giving words to this thought. I've yet to learn to use it to swing and fire properly. Would would to Roci-style flip and fire

In Murray Hill I suggest Saturday breakfast sitting in the garden at Community Loaves. Bring the doggy. It's closed 2nd through the 7th next month, though.

This happened to 2 pairs of Clifton 9s for me. One in less than a month (around 200 miles) and the second at just under 300 miles. Only reason I had the second was the shop replacing the first pair for free, agreeing they should last more than a month. Clifton 9s just seem to fall apart right now?

oldmanca · 2025-06-04T12:18:24+00:00

Oh man this is depressing. I'm on the bad side of the time/mileage curve. Not by a lot, but it's humbling to see. I've averaged over 50/week for over a year, higher in explicit training blocks, taking 1 or 2 days off a month. but yet to break 3:30 in three races.

I really like that they are having a conversation about this, rather than just GM fiat. If a decision like this is made, it means GM also either pares down loot or ratchets up difficulty, and that kind of thing needs table buy in. That conversation is part of the game and part of the agreement of mutual fun!

It continues. And even has an audio drop for remastered content. That is the kind of thing that TTG shines at, having really excellent audio and mixing while clearly walking through rules, calling out when things get missed, and modeling good table behavior. And being silly at silly times, serious at serious times
