The Running Thread—2023

[DopeyRunner486]

more than half of which was from the 4 MW races; have not been keeping up with PW training

Same... This weather lately has been brutal tho and I don't have a treadmill.

Running Distance: 107.76 miles
Running Time: 20:11:23
Average Running Pace: 11:08
Strength Training Time: 6:44:38

Not too bad considering how much time I took off after Dopey when I was sick.

January Totals
209.32 miles
7:41 avg/mile

Managed to make it all the way up until today before I had a run through some snow. As mild a January as can be.

Not a bad start to 2023 for me. I only had 1 weekend long run cancelled due to snow. Looking forward to Princess in February!

January total:
54.9mi

So dopey, plus a 4mi run the day before we left for MW. Haven’t managed to get a single run in since, but fingers crossed I can figure out the schedule to add it in top of the resistance training I’m currently somewhat successfully managing to do.

January was a good month!

Running: 100 miles

Yoga: 30 days (I really love the Yoga with Adriene 30 day challenge!)

Strength: 2x week (back on the Many Happy Miles wagon with AMR - and the live strength classes are really good!)

I hope I can keep this up going forward. Even with a wild work month and so many personal things going on, the routine I’m in feels manageable!

January 2023 totals
Distance: 166.5km (103mi)
Average pace: 6m47s/km (10:53/mi)
YTD: 166km on 20223km but do I want to keep track of this?

I would call January a transition month:
Transition from 2022 to 2023
Transition from the warm weather of vacation to snowstorms
Transition to a new training plan focused on different objectives
Transition from crazy busy projects at work to a more manageable load
Transition from a pile of fabric to six mostly completed Springtime Surprise tank tops


I am satisfied with what I accomplished, with what I decided to focus on, including the recognition that I was tired and needed that lull. February, here I come!

January Miles = 113

I took several rest days both before and after marathon weekend but still managed to keep my 100 miles per month streak alive. I am currently at 59 straight months which means I will hit 5 straight years if I can run 100 in February.

 

[lookingforsunshine]

30.4 miles ran, 9.1 miles walked in January.

Obviously should have had at least 30 more if I had not missed the marathon and CCC but whatever. (I’m still not over it. Haha. Let me know when it gets annoying.)

 

[pluto377]

January miles 50. Been having motivational troubles since returning from MW. February is typically my worst month of the year so hoping to break that streak this year.

 

[Mr_Incr3dible]

According to my Garmin app, I’ve done a whopping 25-26 miles of running in January. Precipitation and the cold have really hindered my getting out and running. I will note that I probably have another 10-15 miles of brisk walking on top of the running.

January 2023
Running Distance: 92.73 miles
Running Time: 15:09:41
Average Running Pace: 9:49/mile

Not terrible considering I took two whole weeks off after Dopey. Would've liked to hit 100 miles for the month, but those numbers will come starting in February as my training for my next race ramps up.

January 2023
Running Distance: 46.05 miles (including the Goofy Challenge)
Running Time: 10:22:42
Traditional Strength Training Time: 5:00:12 (the 12 seconds makes me laugh for some reason, so I included it)
Core Training: 2:49:01

 

[RuntheMouse]

January 2023
70.5 miles running
15:16:22 time running

Totals include Dopey. Had a great time, felt great but after heading home the following week, my knees told me they hated me. So I’ve been walking and using the rower a bit to try to make peace with them.

 

[jmasgat]

Run conditions last Wednesday: 75 and sunny (the path from OKW/SS/DS)
Run conditions today: 8 feels like -3 (whatever non-iced roads I could find nearby)

Ever so slightly different......

January was certainly a roller coaster! It started with Dopey #6 at Marathon Weekend, which was a great time both running and catching up with folks from the board during the met-ups. I did end up bringing home a cold, which wasn't fun, but didn't really impact anything as it hit and largely passed during my recovery week. DW managed to pick up COVID while I was gone, though. I got a week of easy running in during MLK week, but the following Monday COVID had hold of me. It wasn't pleasant, but wasn't too bad, and I seem to be mostly past it and returned to running last night, but it definitely knocked down my running mileage for the month. Here's hoping that February rings in a bit more normalcy and consistency!

January Training Summary

Running duration = 31:01 hours

Average Pace = 8:42 min/mile (about 80 sec/mile slower than marathon PR)
Average HR = 128 (17 bpm less than marathon)

Total Training Time = 36:08 hours

January training was good. Remained healthy and have gotten the spring training schedule kicked off. Aiming for Princess, and then several races from March-April (and a few with G after that). Weather was mostly agreeable in January, and was much easier to maneuver around than last year. I don't think I had to move any hard days because of weather, and I've only had to do a few treadmill runs when I was solo dad. Body is in good shape, but not in peak shape. Getting flashes of being in a good place, and then a come back down to earth type run after that. But since I'm only 5-6 weeks into the training at this point, that's about expected. G has gotten out there for a few runs, but I'm not terribly worried about her capabilities to run the Princess 5k. I hadn't planned on wearing anything special for the 10k or HM, but then my wife got me a pair of green running shorts. I had nothing matching them and didn't find anything I liked online to match. So I designed my own cherry blossom running tank (link). Then, my wife suggested a Maui costume would look good with the green shorts. So then I spent hours and hours and hours designing a Maui tank, and then a Maui hook (link). So January was pretty busy with cosplay designing. G says she has an idea about what she wants to do next for cosplay, but doesn't want to share it with me yet.

Cue the dramatic music—what will she get you into next??
