My precious ones get old and I want to start using two pairs now. I love my Asics Gel Kayano 17 and want to buy new ones online to save money and buy the other pair at a real shop. @micronesia: That sucks. I hope you continue running after recovering and don't get discouraged. | ||

I hope you continue running after recovering and don't get discouraged. Do you want to use two pairs of shoes because of the idea that the insoles take a while to decompress? As far as I know that, if at all, it only applies to elite runners training very high mileages every day. There are a few others reasons that may apply too though like having an indoor pair and an outdoor pair. Or to keep your feet from getting too "attached" biomechanically to one kind. | ||

I made sure to stick to lower-body strength exercises though haha. | ||

Had a GREAT ride today though, doing 20 miles in just about 57 minutes on my usual mountain bike. It was definitely a hard, borderline race effort though...but I'm pleased with how my cycling is improving in the interim. Weight now around 157-158...slowly workin back! | ||

I went for my first run with a heart beat monitor and my friend today. After looking at the stats of my run he said I should probably get my heart checked up on because of the big difference between his working heart rate and mine. I'm 24, 225 pounds, resting heart rate of about 60-65. My pace on the run was 9.10 minute miles over 3.8 miles with an average heart rate of 175 and max of 182. It's wasn't a great pace for me and I think I could push myself harder, also I can talk during the jog and I don't feel massively fatigued at the end. Usually I have 2 relaxed paced runs and a faster paced run like today. Is this fine or should I be running at a more relaxed pace? | ||

You are probably clicking away a little more intense than needed, but that isn't the end of the world. I will say there is no way your average heart rate is 175, and your max is 182. One, or both, of those numbers are incorrect. You would be in some serious pain at over 95% of max heart rate. As far as worrying about HR while running...I think it's really only useful as an overall baseline over time. I.e. you should find that a you can maintain quicker pace at same HR. It's also useful for tracking trends and spotting overtraining (noticeable HR rise at similar paces over a consistent span of time). For individual runs I'm a huge believer effort is king. Some days a 160 HR (80% max) feels easy, and other days at 140 HR (70% of max) I can feel sluggish. Just run by effort, primarily at an easy pace, and you'll be golden. Your description sounds closer to a moderate run, so maybe run a little easier effort next time out. | ||

I got filmed from behind while running at the treadmill in the shop. Weird, I run with a perfect motion on my left foot but my right foot rotates to the outside. I have some stability issues with it, too. Tested a shoe with lower stability and immediately felt insecure in my right foot and pain in the right shin. Left foot was fine. The new one feels fine though. A little less stability in the heel than the Kayano but it's fine when I tie them high. Saved about 40€, too. | ||

I really need to do one of these triathlons sometime to see what it is like. I always see the bike splits and think goddamn that is fast, then see the run splits and think wtf that is slow as hell. I mean lots of guys were cycling 23-25mph and then running mid 7' pace. | ||

Congrats man! Swimming's a pain in the ass to all of my friends who do tri's regularly lol. I had surgery on my shoulder a while back and still can't swim at a semi-competitive level worth a damn or I'd be there with them. So I actually had a question. I took a big ego hit today, after moving away from Philly today was my first tempo run out in the sticks and my run was hilly as FUCK. I ended up with a 7:26 pace which is almost 40s off my intended pace. Despite working hills in every week or so I can't help but feel out of shape by getting raped my mother nature. Obviously I'm going to get a fair amount stronger just by running out here but my question is this. Do I eat the time gap, assume that ~7:20 is my new tempo and work from there, or do I just go to a track and keep honing down my time? I'm assuming races out here will be on the hilly side so it wouldn't hurt, but nothing's farther than a 13.1 in the area, mostly 5k. I think because I'd like to run the Philly marathon again this year I'm tempted to bike over to a track for my tempos 1 day a week because the course is very flat comparatively. Maybe I could use my route today for a hill workout. Do you think the hills will be beneficial enough to me to include them into the rest of my workouts? | ||

Tempo's are absolutely an effort/feel thing though. You should never be running a tempo, notice you are 10s "off" pace and say to yourself "I need to pick it up". If you are just way off of normal for a particular route there would be nothing wrong with calling it a day and just running easy the rest of it, saving the tempo for a different day. In your case, it's a very hilly route, so losing at least 20+ seconds is not uncommon. As long as you were at that tempo feel, life is good. Doing some tempo type runs on the hills is good, and then doing some on flats/track is also nice because you can groove that feeling of running fast at a cruising sort of effort and get a little more turnover going. | ||

I think the biggest thing to look for in one's gait in that regard is just where the weight is when you land. It should be nicely under your bodies center of mass. Get that right and whether you are heel striking, midfoot, or forefoot striking doesn't seem to be that important..there have been great distance runners with all styles. Also, it worth noting it is a little speed dependent, as almost no sprinter will heel strike and the incidence of heel strikes decreases with speed. | ||

In August I'm going to swap out morning runs for morning swims to get some cross-training in, take a bit of the load off my legs while maintaining some aerobic stimulation. My new mirrored swimming goggles have the rather hilarious model name of "Vanquisher 2.0." I've never tapered for a 10k before, so if anyone has any experience doing so I'd appreciate any advice you care to offer. | ||

From my knowledge , 1 week is more than enough, unlike you were overtrained weeks leading up the race. Decrease volume but maintain some intensity leading up to it. But that is pretty much the equation for all tapers, the longer the distance the longer the taper. Also everyone is different so u probably have to experiment! | ||

In my 10k experience it's easy to maintain high mileage weeks leading up to it and still feel good if you want to train though it. Even if you took one day or extra day off a couple days or so before the race then did a shorter easy run the day before you should feel fine. | ||

It's my goal race for the season, so I'm putting an awful lot of stock into it. Definitely not planning on training through it. I'm clocking between 160-170km a week right now, and when I switch to swimming in the morning in August, that will go down to around 130-140km. Right now, I'm thinking of knocking that down to ~100km the week before the race, with maybe two days off interspersed and a light, easy run the day before. (Race day is Aug. 24, incidentally.) Thoughts? | ||
