LISS 60 mins
11km in 59:28 @5:24/km
Pretty happy with that run. Longest I've ever ran and the first time ever doing 10k. I stopped for probably 10s of the entire thing to check distances and walked for less than 1 min as well. The first 45 mins was easy too. Hips started to get sore the last few and I could definitely feel where I haven't been stretching the last few weeks. Still working on running form. Sometimes I run forefoot, other times it's midfoot.
What's amazing to me (which shouldn't be but still is) is how I'm getting better at running by...wait for it...running haha. The first 20 minutes were a breeze when I would normally be bent out of shape. It's quite the feeling to be running like it's nothing and I'm not that far away from the guy who couldn't which makes the comparison all the more real. I had a moment about 16 minutes in when I checked my distance and was surprised that I'd only been running for that long but didn't care as it was easy. Kind of like how squatting your bodyweight or 100kgs becomes easy after a while. Feels pretty good.
great stuff man! pretty dope that you already hit your longest run ever. You really need to make the wife jealous. There's a husband/wife combo around here that dominates masters (and overall) running races.. It's pretty impressive. They both just "learned" running at a later age, and have become really good at it. Wife is 19:XX-20:XX 5k's, husband is 16:XX-17:XX 5k's and sub5 in mile races for 10 straight years now (think he's 45). Saw a post from him today, he congratulated her on her third place overall win, and she thanked him for all the motivation. hah. #CouplesRunGoals
yea, it's just like anything else, when your "hard" becomes "easy", it's a great feeling .. and a great moment when you realize it.
as for form changes, just try not to force them, unless it's overstriding: that's the only thing you should really prevent from happening, and they'd be an excessive heel strike out in front, breaking force, easy to notice. So ya, just let it happen.

meeting up with a fast dude tonight at FAU's track. going to race him for 1k and then 400m. Our goal is to crush some strava course records at the FAU track & get some PR's.. lool. He beat me in a 5k once. He's pretty fast over lots of distances. He's also really competitive.. so should be cool.

So are you training for any endurance event in particular or just running because you like to run?
Yup, road running races (1 mile, 5k). Not ready for 10k+ etc yet, need to figure out how to run consecutive sub5 splits for 3.1 miles first.
I do lots of races now and i'm somewhat competitive. Just won a historically big 5k Sunday (none of the people I wanted to show up were there tho) and got top 3 (3rd) in a mile race last week (4:58.16 with a uturn), that's actually pretty huge considering how fast these mile races are. Usually get top 3 in 5k's or top 3 in age group at least. I'm becoming more competitive at 5k now that my mile has improved so much -> which is my strategy. My main objective is to dominate these mile & 5k races. So I need my mile to get into the 4:3X's and then be able to sustain 4:5X pace consecutively for at least 3.1 miles. It's a "head on rim level" goal but IMHO, not really. I feel like i'm more capable of that than the head to rim goal, because i'm just more naturally "gifted" at running. Plus i'm 35 so that adds a bit of complexity to it.. but at 35 i'm pretty fast already & know I can get way faster.
I don't really "like running", but I LOVE racing. The only kind of running I like/enjoy, is very slow relaxed running. I do really love that. So I think that probably makes me more of a runner at heart than not, because I could run slow forever and enjoy it. Some people hate that. Hard/fast running is a battle. I enjoy how I feel afterwards, but in the moment, it can be brutal lmfao.
I love racing though.. Testing my fitness & training methodology against others, is really fun.
Also as far as races go, I hit a next gear.. I definitely race up to my competition. So racing more, especially against the fastest people, is one of my main strategies for improvement.
TLDR: When i'm 40 i'd love to be an elite masters runner, competing at national or even world events. I really think i'm capable. Just need to stay healthy and be smart. And I guess when i'm 70+ if I make it that far, i'd love to set some WR's.

I spent last weekend watching some ultra-endurance stuff on netflix. The Barkley marathons. It's 5 laps of 20 miles thru mostly woods with very little in the way of trails. Has to be completed in 60 hours or less. Only something like 10 people have completed the event in 25 years. The sleep deprivation usually gets most people.
It seems many ultra-endurance competitors dont have any inherent talent other than being extremely determined. Hell, one of the barkley finishers couldn't even make his college cross country team and from what I gather that's pretty common. Not my cup of tea, but I can see where that type of event would be appealing to some people.
Yeah i'm not into the ultra stuff myself either, though I have incredible respect for those athletes. In my experience, many of those people don't really want to get "fast". I've met/known several of them, and they struggle performing respectably at 5k's for example. It's just that they either don't take speed seriously, or they are afraid of it. As you shift from speed distance to slow distance, the mental battle reduces in amplitude but increases in duration. To me, running a hard mile is 10000x harder than running an easy 20 miles for example. I think it's easy for them to "feed into" the reactions of people, when they hear about someone running 50 miles, 100 miles etc. I mean it seems batshit to me and unhealthy IMHO. It becomes a robotic mental grind at that point. Still takes an incredible amount of determination like you mentioned.
Also, some of the ultra people combine speed with ultra-distance, those are the legit freaks. Like someone running 7:30 per mile for 100 miles on a track or something like that. That resonates with me more because it's not about just "plodding" out the miles and saying you achieved it. At that point, it's also about world records and such, brings it closer to marathon level efforts to me.
And as far as marathon efforts go, that truly is the most mind blowing athletic event i've come to know, at this point. Kipchoge's breaking2 is absolutely incredible, 4:33 min/mi pace for 26.2 IIRC? Elites running 4:4x for 26.2 across a variety of turns/level changes/wind/elements etc. To me it's nutty. That combined speed + distance, is incredible.
peace!!
