first sub30 200m: http://www.adarq.org/progress-journals-experimental-routines/adarq's-journal/msg138172/#msg138172

200m @ 29.4s , after a 225m @ equiv pace but holding back a bit because I was going for 400m until my training partner bailed out of the effort (slight ham tweak).

speed day hopefully.

225m



200m



both




Yo! Went really good for me, but didn't run 400m. Ran 225m & 200m. The 225m is because the guy I trained with felt a slight tweak in his hamstring and pulled up, he was at ~55s pace at 225m, flying. I was at ~58-59s pace at that point, behind him. He was done after that, the safe thing to do. He wanted me to run 1 hard 200m, because he said I was at like ~28s on our first run, and he said i'd hit sub 30s by myself. So I did, and hit 29.4s!! Pretty cool. First ever sub30 for 200m.

EDIT: He was surprised I didn't bring spikes.. hah! He had some nice spikes. He told me after, he's like man you will run way faster in spikes. I told him I have some but, the pair I have hurt my calves. They are 800m spikes, I think I need more like 1500m-5000m spikes, keep my off my toes less or something. The spikes I have destroy my calves - can't finish workouts in them. So I just need something less intense initially. That's cool though.. To be fair, the shoes I was wearing are very fast, regardless of being spikeless. 3.4 oz shoes that are insane fast. Spikes give you that extra "pull" though so, been meaning to buy a potentially better pair. This gives me extra motivation for 2018 Spike up and drop some serious (for me) times.

No idea why his hamstring pulled but, he didn't warm up nearly as long as me. I got there at 6:15 PM, started warming up immediately. He got there at 6:35 PM, and only wanted to do ~10 minutes of warmup. So I did 20 minutes + 10 minutes of warming up = 30 minutes. I just said to him, that if he wanted to warmup more i'd be fine with it. He just wanted to get after it. Anyway, he's __50 years old__, absolutely incredible shape: but those are things you probably can't get away with as much when you're that age. Have to be extra cautious. So, after he pulled it (slightly) and we got to talking, I mentioned the warmup and he agreed. He should have warmed up much more thorough. :/ sux.

Being injury phobic is good and bad.. The good is that you don't skip out on warmups and stuff like that. You also shut it down faster when you feel something weird, rest more, try to recover more, and try not to push through "weird stuff". The bad is that it's always on your mind.

I'll post some data in a sec, it's pretty cool. Nothing on the graph is over 3:59 min/mi ... so that's moving a bit.

Btw, this guy's PR in his "prime" was 1:53.x for 800m... WUT.

I found a non-intuitive way to find races .. USATF course search. You can search by distance, ie "exactly 1 mile" or "exactly 1 km"..

They made a nice video of it from 2016. Wonder if i'll get a few running clips for 2017. I'd really love to see those photos tho, saw a lady with a nice camera, official event photographer or something. You can see it's a pretty big event. 300+ people, tons of pacing groups.

Also, I brought two toys

workout: Runners Depot 12 Mile Fun Run: Tons of PR's. 12 miles @ 1h:22m:XXs / 6:50 pace + 1.1 mile cooldown (half marathon PR -4 minutes) ::: first real long run since February? lmao. Another PR: First ever long run with a group Really great group - very fun.  basically a sub 1:30:00 half effort but I didn't finish the deal for the last 1.1 (running alone, cooldown)
- https://www.strava.com/activities/1325733196
- left hip started hurting a bit in the last 1.1, off and on, but then went away and haven't felt it except for a few occasions during the day
- need to keep my eye on that.. body just feels stressed.
- ALSO, AELS was going slow in that cooldown mile. Once I slowed down initially, I felt a bit wrecked, so decided to slow it down even more.
- felt completely fine prior to that, going fast

- 12 mi PR @ 6:50 (1:22:xx)
- half marathon PR: 1:32:19 (-4min)
- 20km PR: 1:25:22 (-?)
- 10 mile PR: 1:08:09 (-?)
- 15km PR: 1:03:21 (-?)

that was faster than expected .. which is always good Was suppose to be 7:00 pace, but the weather was great, "course" was great, and the group was beast.

\o/







PR'd a ton of stuff: half, 20k, 15k, 10 mile etc.

That's a pretty solid effort for not having done an effort like that since before I injured myself (knee) in ~February. I had done some nice long runs in January/February, but then nothing close to this since then.

I felt REALLY good. I was involved in lots of conversations etc, helped keep my mind off of things. The guy who paced us has a half of around 1:17:XX i think .. so he was very comfortable.

Hoping they post photos. Made a bunch of new running friends, lol. Someone took a group shot of the lead group after, i'm not in it though, was probably wandering off somewhere by myself.. i'm a ghost.
