Love that place ...drove a couple hours from Chicago for a long marathon training run a few years ago when the snow/ice were too nasty on the streets. Well worth the trip.gruecd said:
So I guess the foot is the gateway drug.I could maybe fly out to lube it for you, but beyond that, I guess you're on your own.
Chronically. I roll on a lacrosse ball every now and then, but it's gotten to the point where I feel like I'm always gonna be dealing with it. It's the worst when I'm sitting for a long time and then I stand up.
Probably a dumb question, but there's typically some hard resets you can do (I.e. Hold these buttons for XX seconds). Tried that? When I've had issues, though with Garmin, the hard reset or plugging into a PC has typically resolved the issue. Sucks dealing with these types of issues, especially once you become so accustomed to having that data readily at hand. Hope you figure it out. Good luck.
I'll have to try the hard reset. Any past issues have generally resolved themselves or like you said, plugging into the PC.
I'll sell you my garmin 225
I have a 325 IIRC, haven't used it in years.
Years? I thought the 325 was less than 2 years old.I'll have to try the hard reset. Any past issues have generally resolved themselves or like you said, plugging into the PC.
Google heel striking and shin splints - is that you?
Unfortunately, rest. Right now anyway.
Probably depends case-to-case.
Really?
Exactly. Progress isn't a straight line that goes up at 45 degree angle. Unfortunately there's some dips but over time you should improve. Would be nice if it was all positive reinforcement.
The more that you run the more fatigue you're going to be battling. So to answer you question whether your should push through or listen to you. Yes. Tough to know which sometimes but if you don't ever push through your body won't improve and adapt but occasionally we need rest and/or a down week.
For me, on those days, you push through but you may have to change your plan for that run. Sometimes if I have a struggle I just slow my pace way down and run some nice easy miles. Usually that alone can push you through a wall and you start to feel better toward the latter part of a run. And then pick up the pace.
NP. Just wanted to see if you were free at all. I'll be downtown on foot for Thursday and Friday while the wife is at a conference. I've get plenty to keep me entertained.
Go do the 10-15 hilly trail miles.NP. Just wanted to see if you were free at all. I'll be downtown on foot for Thursday and Friday while the wife is at a conference. I've get plenty to keep me entertained.
Sounds fun, might need to try this.
Totally depends on why you're training. For endurance? Keep going. Health and you're feeling run down? Go a bit then stop early if you're not feeling it.
I have had piriformis issues for the past year or so. I am managing it but it definitely is painful at times. I think mine is tied to my tight hamstring. That being said, mine gets better when I religiously stretch. I've also gone to PT for it when it flares up bad and that seems to work.
If your goals involve improvement then you need to push through. Sometimes. You're not going to realize or increase those limits unless you test them. But. This is also where injuries happen. If you dance around this limit enough you will #### up on occasion. In the early stages, probably fairly often. That's how you learn though.
Yeah, we are getting a cool front tonight coming through. Lows are going to be in the 60's and highs in the mid 80's through the weekend. Should be a nice relief.
Thanks for asking. Yes, the race is this Saturday and the temps look to be about 50 at the start and reaching about 70 at the end. Humidity looks to be in the 90s at the start and down to the 60s at the end. So looks like an SI ranging from 100-130 throughout the race. The lowest I have trained in so far in this program was about 140 and within the past month 150 is the lowest. I'm not sure how much this will help but has to be a good thing.
I try to avoid advice in this space and I only ran one marathon before moving on to other events. However, I suggest you google around to see if only water will deplete your electrolytes to a negative and possibly harmful level. If you are looking to replace them, I am a huge Endrolyte by Hammer fan, but am an even huger proponent of don't try anything new on race day.
I'm curious what the thought process is here because my knee jerk is this is a recipe for disaster.
Do whatever you did in training. Now is not the time to experiment on new items for the marathon.
Cant agree more. I would never try something new on race day. If you have been running in crazy heat and humidity you have had to do something thus far. Just keep doing that.
Yeah, my thoughts too. I know for my 2 marathons, and really even my half's I eat like a horse that week and just start to reduce fibers by the end of the week.
I primarily only drink water too. A lot of it. Possibly too much. Only exceptions outside of the obvious (booze) are black coffee (basically water) and gatorade (only after a long run). The water part is fine, there's really no way for you to know how much is too much so I'll just say drink when you're thirsty. If you're not then don't. You won't need as much as you usually do given the race conditions.
. Should be about 163 at 7:30. Maybe
