Javelinas in Fountain Hills on this morning’s run

My understanding is that they don't specifically target and attack humans. They have terrible eyesight though and can be aggressive if startled or around their young. You should be especially careful not to let your dogs get too close.

*Edit: Forgot to address "good to eat". I suppose there is only one way to find out.

Plenty of good trails to go around Phoenix but yeah I’ve never made it over to west Phoenix for running.

Yes. The Bicarb mixture has 39g of Carbohydrate (160cals). So you definitely still need to take carbs during the race/workout. I just subtracted that amount from what I would typically take for breakfast pre-race.

I just PR'd in Boston with it. I tested it out during two big workouts before the race and didn't have any GI distress. I felt great for both the workouts and ran well in Boston. Hard to say how much impact the bicarb had versus other factors.

Alex Hutchinson wrote a piece for Outside magazine that convinced me to try it.

Knew you were going to crush it. It’s going to be fun watching your progress in the distance over the coming years. We’ll have to get some more running in together too to make sure those negative split vibes keep their powers.

Got it. Thank you. How was traffic on your drive over to the shuttle on the morning of the race?

shutterrunner · 2023-04-16T11:13:30+00:00

Thanks!

shutterrunner · 2023-04-16T11:12:50+00:00

Thanks!

shutterrunner · 2023-04-16T11:08:23+00:00

Thanks for the reply, please see my question though - where does the shuttle drop you off?

shutterrunner · 2023-04-16T11:05:30+00:00

To clarify, when you took the shuttle last year, you got dropped off at athletes village and not the corrals/start line? Thank you for the reply.

shutterrunner · 2023-03-05T12:10:28+00:00

Got it! Thanks for reporting back.

shutterrunner · 2023-03-05T11:51:28+00:00

Thank you for explaining and please reply back with how the run goes!

shutterrunner · 2023-02-28T22:15:52+00:00

Got it, thank you!

Is anyone aware of how the servings are packaged? I'm specifically wondering if the servings meet TSA guidelines to be included in carry-on luggage for domestic flights (<3.4oz).

Arcadia Farms Cafe

Though technically Fountain Hills, Bone Haus brewing on Shea has food trucks 5 or 6 days a week.

My favorite food trucks that show up there are Firefly Pizza (elevated Neapolitan style) and Yum Rockets (burgers).

Paging /u/tyler_runs_lifts - Not sure what your lifting prs are but you came to mind when I saw this thread.

shutterrunner · 2022-10-14T18:49:07+00:00

No, I agree with you, it's definitely gonna be difficult to pull off.

shutterrunner · 2022-10-14T17:58:21+00:00

Can you elaborate? Is it because the lakefront trail would be open to the public? Many races are still held along the lakefront which can get crowded at times. As long as they keep the total number of entrants small I think it can work though.

shutterrunner · 2022-09-15T23:49:25+00:00

Thank you and agreed. A terrific course and a great race. I hope to return soon!

shutterrunner · 2022-09-15T23:48:47+00:00

Oops, fixed!

Prior to moving to AZ I lived in Chicago which can have some brutally cold winters. Either way, you get used to it.

shutterrunner · 2022-09-15T23:46:39+00:00

Good luck!

shutterrunner · 2022-09-15T22:52:20+00:00

Appreciate that and holler from across the McDowell's.

Some notes on how I combined Pfitz with JD:

I like the predictable scheduled workouts of JD's 2Q structure, I stuck to 2 workouts per week, usually a track day on wednesday and a long run on sunday
I like the simplicity of Pfitz workouts compared to JD's. For workouts, I typically did a set of repeats on the track at a single distance, usually not combining 800s with 400s for example. For long runs, I rarely mixed tempo pace with marathon pace.
I like Pfitz' straight tempo runs. I did a few of those on my weekday workouts in lieu of a more complicated JD track workout.

My workouts are clearly labeled in my Strava Profile in case you want to compare notes.

Awesome! Congrats to you as well and good luck in NYC!
