Had a good week (mostly) after nearly 3 weeks of inactivity: - Monday: 6 miles treadmill - Tuesday: Elliptical - Wednesday: ~7 mile mountain bike + 2.75 mile trail run
And.... this was nearly me during Monday's run...

Neat, I have not posted here yet but it will be good to help keep up the motivation. Trying to get into shape for the Newport Half Marathon, which would be the longest I have ever run. A few years ago I ran the Coronado 15k a couple years in a row, but since then the longest was a 10k last year. I got motivated by some fellow Officers while down in VA for school this summer. In April I ran 8 miles, in May I ran 22 miles, in June I ran 32 miles, in July I ran 52.4 miles and then I got hurt. Left inside shin splint of some sort, so Ive run 8 miles this month. To compensate I started riding the bicycle again, I did 24 miles or so on the bike over the last two weeks.
Today I ran again for the first time in two weeks. I stretched for a really long time and ran a 5 mile race here in Newport. It went pretty well, the leg didnt hurt while running and doesnt hurt now. Hopefully I can get back into training now.

I pushed my stroller at 10/min pace for a few miles. The little one loved it until she fell asleep.
My milage plummeted due to back to back 50-60 hour work weeks. I think I"m well off pace for my annual goal. Hoping to get moving.

36 miles on my feet this week. Running like Frankenstein after squats. I know that feel. The worst is cycling in, squats at lunch, running home.
so I've just started slacking on all of it!

Anyone have any advice on lighting to improve path visibility? Preferably something I wouldn't have to hold.
I don't care too much about being visible myself. Been doing lots of night running to avoid heat, and on trails with lots of roots and poor lighting things can get dicey

Headlamp or waistlamp. Quite a few ranging from $20-$140. Budget?

Be nice to find 2 for under $100. Probably go with a waist lamp. I'll look around
Mostly I want something that'll point down and illuminate the ground, without blinding other people.

What race are you training for Cheesy? Keep up the good work! Thanks - and nice job to you on Leadville! I am training for the Disney marathon in January. I am going to follow this program: http://www.runnersworld.com/race-training/less-more-marathon-plan?page=single and have about a month before I need to get on that schedule. But I'm doing the first few weeks of the training now just see how I respond to doing more speed work and less overall mileage compared to a more traditional plan like Hal Higdon. I did Hal Higdon two years ago for my first marathon and running on three consecutive days every week doesn't agree with my knees. Things just fell apart that last six weeks and I nursed a hamstring injury. We will see how this one works out for me.
Thanks man.
That's good you're looking at alternatives. More than one way to skin a cat, ya know. It's always a fine line between adequate training and staying injury free.

Some guys run both a waistlamp and headlamp. They claim it's the equivalent of running foglights.

I got the Petzl Tikka RXP based on the recommendation on here and it does work very well. The only problem I had and this was probably me not aiming it right was while running behind someone on a dusty trail I could not see anything because it was reflecting off the kicked up dirt. I had to fall back some just so I could see. Later in the race when I was alone though it worked great. That will be a problem with pretty much any headlamp. It's probably safer that you're moving a bit back from the guy in front of you anyways.
On one race we were going up this hill and next thing I know it's like it went dark... turns out we'd enter a cloud(fog, but cloud sounds cooler), headlamps do shit all in that kind of condition. Everyone was like checking their lamps because it was very sudden and disorienting.

6 mile run yesterday on the treadmill. Still keeping mileage low in preparation for the Spartan Race next month. Not sure if I'll enjoy it but was willing to try it out. I've been doing some strength-based circuit training at the gym which has really helped the endurance. Hoping it helps during the obstacles as well.
After that it's back to the longer mileage for a few half marathons and the LA Marathon next year. Goal is to break 4 hours.

This is my 6th week with my new routine: 2 speed days (tues/thurs), 1 recovery/slower run (wed), and 1 "long" run (sat). I'm averaging around 28-30 miles/week, shooting for a goal finish half marathon in Nov of 1:30 or less.
Dunno how realistic it is yet, my first ever half last Oct was uber slow, like 2:24. And my 2nd in March was 2:03. I hadn't set a goal other than "finish" and "finish a little faster" for either one, so I'm hoping this summer's training will pay off once it cools down. For the speedwork I've been doing intervals for one of the days (.35 miles on, .2 miles recovery x 6 at my goal pace of ~6:35), and a tempo run (warup around 9:30, and keep bumping speed up to 6:30 and hold for 40 mins). It's still hot a balls here, so it can be pretty brutal outdoors sometimes with these. Everyone says it'll help to train hard now in the heat once it starts to cool down, so I'm hoping to see the benefits.
Boring stuff, but I'll update later in the year near the end of training or after the first half I do this fall/winter if I make it afterall.

Did a 10 mile race this past weekend that I had also done in 2012. The difference is pretty stark.
The gist of it is this: Official finish times per the race, not watch: 2014 time - 1:16:48 2012 time - 1:52:52
Average pace: 2014 - 7:48 2012 - 11:22
Here's links to Garmin for them: 2014 2012
Definitely really happy with these results, I don't even feel like I was in peak shape for the race either. Just onto week 4 now for training for a marathon with a goal of 4 hours, makes me feel good about that being possible.

Still dealing with this calf thing. I think Im stressing on how to put my left foot down and that is causing me to strain a ligament in that calf. Trying to run without thinking about my feet and learning some new targeted stretches has helped. Last week I ran another 9 miles after the 5 mile race, and the leg was sore. So I took a couple days off and biked 14 miles on Monday, and then ran 3.5 miles yesterday. Calf felt fine during the run, and then today it very very sore. Ive been stretching all day and it feels way better, but if I sit for any length of time it gets sore again. Grr, shit is annoying. I just want to run!
