Since Ive started running, I'm doing 3:00 run, 2:00 walk x 4, with a 4:00 cool down at the end. My question is, how long should I keep doing this same cycle? Stick with this for 2 weeks, and then go to 4:00 run, 2:00 walk, or something else altogether? What are your thoughts?


What Mommy said. I'd make distance targets before time targets too. Then the next run, try and beat it. Not every run needs to be a world beater, but you do need to push yourself once in a while.

So yesterdays post I was on cloud 9 from a fantastic run.


Tonight was a lesson in running on tired legs....and as usual it was a whole different experience.
Did 10 miles at a 7:37 pace, which overall I'm happy with on the heels of the 11 miles last night....but goddamn my legs were like lead weights.

When you are running, do you always listen to music? Where does your mind go?

I was just thinking about this, as I have been progressing to longer runs. I have been trying my best to focus on feeling good and enjoying the run, my legs, bla bla. But a lot of the time I'm kind of thinking about random stupid things, like my nose is getting snotty or my baby toe is feeling smooshed.

Any thoughts on what I should be focusing on?


Where do you run? If the answer is treadmill then there is no way to make it enjoyable.
I dont run with music but I will usually have a song stuck in my head and then start making up different lyrics for it.


I run outside. I HATE the treadmill

I was actually doing that yesterday too! We did 4 seperate runs, increasing distance, with 2 minutes rest between each - so we would have to stop into the gym and post times - each time I ended up grabbing the song playing in the gym and carrying that same damn one in my head over each leg of the run

I have been running regularly since February, and yesterday I reached the 10 mile milestone for the first time. Before February, the farthest I had ever run was 4 miles like one time. Feeling pretty proud of myself, albeit sore.

Great job man. That 10 mile mark really is a mental milestone.

Going for a 10K today. Legs are a bit tired from squats/bike ride yesterday and it's windy as shit today, but I'm curious as to how I'll do. I typically go 7-8.5K and do sprints, but I don't feel like sprinting today.

I always felt like a beast when I do 50-60 mile weeks, then you realize there are guys doing 200 miles a week.

lol, I know. I've been listening to ultrarunnerpodcasts on my mp3 player during runs lately, and to hear guys like Geoff Roes say they did an easy 120 mile week with 10,000feet of vertical just makes me shake my head. I've had one 200 mile month in my running career.

It does feel good to put in some heavy mileage and have the body cooperate...even feel great afterwards.

My goal is to really make this upcoming marathon feel easy.

I've been wanting those shoes just based on how they look, lol. Can't justify buying them right now though as there isn't many trails in my immediate future.

I told my wife last night that next year I may skip Ironman races and focus on ultras. Way Too Cool 50k and AR50 are the ones I know I want to do.

This goes for the bike and for the 1 little 3.5 mile weekly (road) run:

I listen to music--especially when I run. I'd go nuts if I didn't. Not quite as important on the bike, for some reason.

Once I get through the first portion of the run (the "I can't do this today/I feel like shit/this sucks" part before I find my groove), I just settle in and I let my mind wander. Of course, I pay attention to my surroundings, but generally, this is my time to just think about stuff.

I guess "enjoy the ride" is my best advice. \:\)

Went for my second 10 miler tonight and ended up doing 13. It's amazing, especially coming from the perspective of a guy who not too long ago used to struggle to run 2 or 3 miles, how after you hit a certain point it becomes easier to tack on miles. Around the 4-5 mile point I get into a zone and just start cruising. I previously couldn't imagine myself ever doing a marathon, but now that I'm halfway there it's certainly not out of the question someday. I love it.

Congrats man...I know exactly how you feel. I was just talking to a friend tonight about how much I love this point in my running where a 10 miler feels like a 5 miler did a year ago. I can go out and do 3 days of 10 or 11 mile runs and never feel tired. Fitness is an awesome thing.

Finally got back to 5 miles On Sunday, no foot pain. I'll just keep plugging away. I can definitely see doing a 1/2 again this autumn.

My pace was not rocketing. Mid 8s. ugh
it'll be a while before I start thinking of sub 21 minute 5ks again..

Ran and worked for the first time today. The shoes are dope, great purchase.

Like all the reviews say, perfect combination of light weight and support.

Accidentally ended up doing a 10k, furthest I've gone in nearly a year
I knew about a trail run, and was going to the "short" option of 6-ish k, but my friend convinced me(triathletes are crazy). So i'm finally breakin 10k on a trail run, brilliant, and... in the dark.
It was an awesome race, I had to 'trot' a few of the uphill portions, and my time was probably 30 minutes slower than a normal 10k. 400m, of vert will do that though, and it was a muddy mtn bike trail in the dark not getting hurt and having fun was the major priority.

The fact that it was offroad means my feet don't feel bad at all.
My knees and hips are a bit sore from the uneven steps(especially in the dark).

It was a blast to do, great views, got some great "zoning" when you can only focus on 30ft at a time. Pretty awesome running through a cloud on top of a mtn and not seeing anyone else for a good 2 minutes, but also good running companionship when we ran together.

Still feeling awesome, but man my quads or sore. Doing deep squats the day before surely helped. Time for some R&R.

I ran the Cleveland Half Marathon last weekend. I didn't get the time I was shooting for, but with the heat I was fairly happy. I originally wanted to finish around 1:25:xx but ended up with 1:35:xx. I got hot really quick, and people were dropping all over. I kept a pretty good pace once I got around the beginning group.

That's a great time period, let alone for it being this late in the year! And that's a fun looking route. Congrats!

Consider turning on automatic mile splits on your watch - the instantaneous pace is too noisy to be useful but the mile splits are nice for seeing where you might have sagged.

Edit: and while I'm giving out unsolicited Garmin advice, I always paste my line from the race results into the comments field, it helps me because I can go back and see what my official time was, especially helpful if I forgot to hit Stop.

What do you guys do in this heat?!

OMG! I can only do early am runs on Sundays, so it's generally evening when I can get one in....but even then, the temperature has been between 90 and 100 degrees. By the time it's decently cooled down it's around midnight (and I've long gone to sleep)

Do you actually run in the stiffy heat? Is there something I can do to make it easier/less deathly? Or is it just a case of sucking it up and getting used to it?

Yeah....Mikes time was fantastic. You guys are making me sweat a bit....I'm gonna have to go out and set a new 1/2 mary PR to keep my time safe. \:D

I love having 4 view fields on my 910xt. It's great having both current and average pace ready at a glance. Sure instant isn't really that accurate, but it's still good for getting a general idea.

As a crossfitter you should be familiar with HTFU! \:D The heat isn't going to hurt you as long as you're smart. Wear sunscreen, visor, sunglasses, and hydrate accordingly.


Me, I'm begging for some epically hot days over the next two months. I'll be doing my next Ironman in fucking Louisville....historically near 100 on race day with an equal level of humidity. I plan on having ice down my shorts the entire run.
