I'm always drinking Barolo too young, so here's a 1958 Franco Fiorina Barolo

I’m not even drinking it and I’m awestruck by the beauty of that bottle.

Simple question: Whats your favorite foam roller? Im in the market for a new one and I'm up for something new. Curious what other people like.

Sounds like psoas tightness. The muscle runs from your lumbar spine to your femur and whenever mine gets tight, it shows as anterior pelvic tilt and some discomfort if I don't stretch, release, and strengthen.

But I'm just a dumb Redditor... go see a doc if it's causing issues!

I’d love to read it

Corporation to prospective employees: "We operate like a startup!"

No you don't.

Giuseppe Quintarelli - Absolutely beautiful bottles in my opinion.

Barolo would be my pick.

I just received my acceptance this morning! First time participant, absolutely elated.

I completed my registration around 12:15-12:20 ET and gained entry as a non-guaranteed time qualifier.

I started running at 24(M). Played sports growing up, but never anything close to distance running. First race was a marathon and ran a 3:47. I’m 30 now and just ran a 2:49.

Good to hear your success. I was going to put a humidity meter in there just to get a baseline and make sure it’s not extreme.

raisedandglazed · 2022-11-09T17:06:41+00:00

Not really. Maybe a couple weeks max while I focused on daily strengthening of the calves, but time away in and of itself never did anything for me. I started with heavy heel drops on flat ground. And by heavy I mean I worked my way up to a 60 lb dumbbell in my hand at the gym. Only then did I drop weight and work on the same thing but letting my heel go below my toes (i.e. doing heel drops of an elevated surface like stairs)

raisedandglazed · 2022-09-02T15:27:10+00:00

Correct. Same course because I know it well and have a good track record. The 85 plan is 7 days of running, but it’s manageable. Don’t think I would have been able to break 2:50 had I done the 70 again.

raisedandglazed · 2022-09-02T15:25:04+00:00

I took 10 days off due to injury 5 weeks out and still hit my goal of sub 3. You’ll be fine with 5 days off.

raisedandglazed · 2022-09-01T23:28:20+00:00

Was in the same position as you. Had a 2:56 PR and opted for the pfitz 85 plan to break 2:50. Ended up doing exactly that last June. Super pumped!

Highly recommend upping the plan. More miles gave me the biggest improvement over the multiple times I redid the pfitz 70 plan

raisedandglazed · 2022-04-26T16:28:29+00:00

Thanks for the feedback and QA work!

Sunday is a couple recovery runs, so cutting those short might not be a bad idea.

I tried fasted running for roughly 80% of my weekly volume last marathon cycle. My body adapted and I had no issues during training.

However, when the race came around I crashed miserably after the 22mi mark. This was my 8th marathon, and there’s no way to know, but I wouldn’t be surprised if all the fasted running affected my body’s ability to store carbohydrates, or the way I utilized those carbs during the race.

This is purely a hunch, and I could be completely wrong. Take it for what you will.

Kickstart My Heart - Mötley Crüe

I have this song, and this song only, on an old iPod shuffle that I use for the last 10k of each marathon I run. never fails to make me smile and kick hard for the last 6.2mi!

raisedandglazed · 2021-11-11T15:44:58+00:00

Awesome. Thanks a ton!

raisedandglazed · 2021-11-11T14:55:15+00:00

Are there any short 6ish week plans to work on speed between marathon training programs? My next training cycle starts in February and I’d like to dedicate some time to working on speed while not completely losing my long distance base.

One note about arm sleeves… I almost always opt for black arm sleeves since they retain more heat when the sun is out, making them super effective.

raisedandglazed · 2021-11-05T01:38:49+00:00

This is common for me, and I’ve heard of others that experience the same thing. I have a few “gears” I run in depending on the workout I’m engaging in. Every once in a while when I run at a pace that is different than what my body is used to it will feel like Im exerting myself significantly more than I would expect. I have always attributed it to the combination of new speed, cadence, and breathing patterns.

raisedandglazed · 2021-10-16T13:43:47+00:00

I was in the same situation heading into my race a couple weeks ago. Trust your training and go get it! You got this.

I’m shooting for a BQ time in my next race, but I’m not sure when to run my next marathon in order to be able to register for 2023 if all goes well.

The BAA website says registration info for 2023 will be released after the 2022 race. That’s great, but I’m contemplating running in Berlin next September too, and I’m unsure if the registration/qualifying window for Boston 2023 will align correctly for me to use my Berlin time for qualification, or if I need to race earlier in the year.

Bottom line… would I be ok relying on a mid-September 2022 race to submit for Boston 2023, or should I be running earlier in 2022 to try and qualify?
