100,000 miles for AT

[SWScorch]

glad to hear your leg is feeling better, Mega. You need to be fit and fresh for Sunday!!!

I got back from Toronto a few hours ago and did an easy 10-miler. First 6 with my girlfriend and then the last 4 on my own. 2720

Ran a 10k yesterday, longest run so far using VFFs/POSE.

3 quick ones this morning. It's hard to judge how fast I am in my VFFs because I have to dodge traffic etc. I need some kind of speedometer/pedometer like nike+ I think.

2722

6 miles today. planned on 8 but my legs feel like shite. Guess two concerts in two days separated by 200 miles wasn't such a great idea after all.... Nah, it was totally worth it.

Easy 5 miles this morning. The quads are slightly heavy despite tapering and lots of stretching/sticking this week. I'm a bit worried, although I can remember races in the past where I felt like this 2 days before and I ran really well, so we'll see. Have to stay positive.

2750

 

[allies]

I ran 3 the other day. Forgot to count it since it was negligible in my mind, but we're going for a goal here

2753

Two days before my big race and the tapering is getting me down. I was told by my doctor that the biking exacerbates the strained hip flexor so that's out. Dare I run today or tomorrow? What do you experienced runners do this close to your event?

My marathon is on Sunday. Based on my running plan, I'm scheduled to run an easy 4 miles today.

If your race is Sunday, I'd do a short easy run today and rest tomorrow.

Good luck on your respective races on Sunday guys! I believe Caveman, Mega, allies, and Buddha right?

SWScorch is in the same race as my son and I on Sunday. I hope I'm not forgetting anyone...

Thanks. I was thinking about 4 or so, maybe a brisk walk at the very least.

Caveman has it right - short and easy today. Tomorrow, I'm planning to do a short warmup (15 min) and maybe 4 strides, plus some stretching. I get way too anxious doing nothing the day before, but if you're more relaxed, you can just rest.

Edit: Whoops; reread your post - don't do strides on a strained hip flexor. Easy 15 min or rest.

KeithTalent may be running the same marathon as me. He's registered but he said he might drop it as his training hasn't been consistent.

Good luck guys!

 

[silverpig]

I feel like I'm missing out on the marathon now

I'm definitely not in shape to do well in it at all, but good luck all you guys who are running it!

I'm aiming for doing one in October - it'll be my first.

 

[Capt Caveman]

Slow easy 4 tonight. Good luck to all this weekend!!!!

good luck MGGP! I did an easy 8 miles today. Just got back in fact; I am still dripping sweat. Felt really good despite having a long day at the beach, playing frisbee, bocce and washer toss and having a beer. 15 miles tomorrow along with Mega! 2786

 

[InflatableBuddha]

2 miles this morning - short warmup and some strides.

Good luck to everyone racing tomorrow! There should be lots of mileage to add to the thread, and lots of good results!
