Preflight Long Run

ByTim Nolte

Since our family was flying to Minnesota very early the next morning I decided to get my long run in the night before. It started out very strange because as I ran I felt like I was slowly trudging along but when my audio coach gave me updates it was saying I was doing a pace under 9 min/mi which just didn’t seem possible. Then for the first half of the run I was just cruising. The second half of the run was a very different story. I’m not sure why I just hit the wall but it happened. I eventually decided to cut the run short at a half marathon distance. Giving how slow my pace was the last few miles I expected a terrible finishing average pace. Seeing what I ended with I can’t complain too much. I can definitely say the less then stellar nutrition of the week is probably what sabotaged my run. We’ll see what a week of running in Minnesota brings.

    Tackling A Rainy And Intense Fitness Level Run

    ByTim Nolte
    Despite it being a rainy morning it still felt good to be out for a run. After the 2017 #GRMarathon downpour, and consistent winter training, I’m pretty much good to run in anything. If you are going to run a race outside you have to train in everything if you want to be prepared. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun

    Trying A New App And 10k Training Schedule

    ByTim Nolte
    New training schedule for a 10k with Runtastic. Since I got a free premium subscription I thought I’d give this a whirl instead of paying for Endomondo. We’ll see how I like it. Tim just finished a Runtastic run of 4.28 mi in 40m 25s
