The schedule I'm using to train for the DVER100K has 2 rest days - Friday before the long run and recovery run weekend and Monday after. I used to hate rest days, but it cost me in injured IT bands and strained muscles. I'm older now and hopefully wiser now which hopefully will keep me injury free.
WTF is with all of these running clothing companies and the prices for shorts and shirts? I mean, I get paying a hundred bucks or more for a pair of shoes, but for a pair of shorts or a shirt? Stop it already. I'm not paying extra for your shorts or shoes because you sponsor an elite ultrarunner.
Some days working hard feels really good. Today was one on those days and this was one of those runs that felt really good. 3:1 intervals are perfect for mixing speed and tempo over a medium distance run.
It's that time of year in Texas that makes long runs harder... Summer. Got it done all the same.
Every single time, a post about a program that benefits We The People, some boomer or elder Gen X fuck asks this question. The answer is simply "WITH OUR FUCKING MONEY YOU SELFISH FUCK STICK. WE THE PEOPLE WANT FOOD FOR PETS NOT BOMBS ON IRAN."
Our celebrities are cooler than the right's. @jamestalarico.bsky.social - I'd much rather hang with Willie than Kid Rock or Ted Nugent. LOL.
Call a homicide detective because I killed this run. 3:1 intervals with speed work and progressive splits.
I recently acquired 2 "What" #ballpython snakes from Bailey & Bailey Reptiles. It's a relatively unheard of mutation and one that I'm pretty excited to explore by combining it with different mutations found within my currently collection of #ballpythons. I think What Acid will be visually stunning.
Today's run was 4 miles with 3:1 Galloways (rip). Solid effort with an oppressive dew point hovering around 77°.
Today's run was a 3.25 mile hike with a 30 pound weight vest. It's muggy out there making hard things even harder.
Today's run was .25M to .10M intervals with focused speed work during the .25 mile intervals. #running #speedwork #ultratraining
Today's run was actually a walk with a 30# weight vest and 5 hill repeats on the aptly named Summit Street.
Had a great time at a small and intimate venue here in Farmersville, TX listening to some great red dirt indie country music from Mike Schikora and Max and Heather Stalling. I'll take this over mainstream Nashville any day! #indiemusic #reddirt #troubadors #livemusic #countrymusic #storytellers
I feel you. We put our girl, Dot, on the path to the rainbow bridge after 12 years of loving her and her loving us. Her hips, knees, and shoulders were riddled with arthritis, common for the bully breeds, just moving was tiring and painful. My heart hurts, I truly hope there is a rainbow bridge.
Today we sent our ol' girl, Dot to the rainbow bridge. My heart hurts.
This freakin' cat... and yes, I know, chocolate is really bad for cats, but there is very little chocolate and no sugar in this product. Plus, she gets very little of it, no more than a few licks which makes her happy. Yes, I'm one of those humans who knows his place in the house with felines. LOL.
The fact the GOP nominated Paxton says all you need to know about the Texas GOP.
This morning was a strength workout - hill repeats with a plate vest carrying 17.5 pounds. The warm up is a brisk walk from my house to the bottom of the hill. The workout is 10 hill repeats, fast walk up and slow run down. The cool down is the walk from the bottom of the hill back to the house.
