After a hard effort we do need time to recover, a day, two, whatever. Some of us, like to do a recovery run the day after. But, sometimes, my recovery runs are pathetically slow. I could end up going 2 or 3 minutes over my easy/long run pace. That’s 4 minutes…

WHAT? or WHY? You wonder … well some of my cute running shorts don’t have pockets. I used to sew extra pockets on my shorts, on earlier times, when I actually had time. Or needed to. Now I just stuff everything on my bra: gels, water bottles, of course the…

The Prospect Park Track Club sets up these 5ks all through the summer, on Wednesday nights. I did one last year and it had since been my 5K PR. I was in good shape then (though it was 97 degrees that day), I had run my fastest marathon in three…

Continue reading →: Some adaptation all right
My long run this weekend was strange. This “strange” has been a constant in every long run I’ve done in this marathon training period though. They’ve been fine. I was able to run a long run and be ok at the end. And I didn’t use to run my long runs: they used to be…

Continue reading →: asking the experts (you) about a workout
I’ve been pondering this for a few days and I wanted to see what the thoughts were. Let’s say you have to do a tempo, 5 miles at 7:20 for example. Let’s also suppose that Sunday I did a long run, Monday I rested. option 1- I could…

I’ve tried it all. And I usually stuck to solids post workouts, nothing out of the ordinary, a banana, or toast with PB and nutella or dulce the leche, or oatmeal with chocolate and PB, or powebars or the occasional chocolate protein powder. Or whatever I had in the apartment, which…

I got a call from my super shady cardiologist who never wants anyone to know his name. Would you blame him? I talk about him all the time, but he’s the manwhowillnotbenamed. Ha. I did my stress echo, forgot all about it. He called me to tell me the results. …

Again, I was walking out of Outdoor Retailer, and besides a crazy stop to drool at a back pack, I only stopped twice. Those two times were to tell those people how much I loved their products. We runners are just loyal (OCD!!!) like that with our gear and stuff.…
