as a member of the 'heavy sweater' crew, I have no business in a 100% cotton shirt on a hot day, it's coming off and it will obliterate my nips also
however, I also dont try to run 100 miles in a clip

Still here. Still running. Knocked out a 14 miler Saturday. Getting ready for the Spartan Beast in September.
Looks like I'm going to do another Ragnar Relay So Cal race with the club. Some of you ultra guys should seriously consider doing one...

^^ Dude, congrats on getting into Boston!
Keeping this thread alive. Wrapped up a couple of events the last couple weeks. Santa Monica Classic 10K, and the Spartan Beast in Pala.
The Santa Monica Classic runs along most of the final 3 miles of the LA Marathon. About the first 3.7 miles is uphill before turning around to go back. Met up with a few members of the run club who are doing this as part of the Conquer LA challenge. It was a bit muggy but I really enjoyed the course. I think I placed around 210 overall and 20th in my AG.
I got suckered into doing another Spartan Beast with a friend who is really into these types of obstacle races. The course went around Pala Motocross Raceway and vicinity. They advertise a little over 12 miles. But participants who had GPS were claiming around 14-14.5. Lots of challenging obstacles with good variety between strength and endurance.
I felt much more prepared this time. Had a decent camelpack, supplies, and hand/arm/knee protection. And combined with my ongoing strength training, I was able to tackle most obstacles with a bit of effort. For me it was an awesome experience. Others... not so much. Ended up helping quite a few people on the course who were either dehydrated or cramping from lack of sodium. I wasn't really going for time... more to help make sure my friend finished in one piece lol. If I do this type of race again, I think I will need to focus more on grip strength. Another friend suggested working in more lifts/pulls using my own body weight.
Next race is the Rock n Roll Half Marathon followed by the Dana Point Turkey Trot. Then I kick up training for the Pasadena Half and LA Marathon next year. And cap it off with another Ragnar Relay in April.

Stickaz - 47:15 I think. Not quite as good as the 44:xx PR from November.
I think you could do a 43-44 min 10K with a good few months of training (after nursing that injury of course).

we'll see, I figure 44:59 is no problem at all with the races I've already recorded this year [outside shot at 43:nn imo], if it werent for taking nearly 2 months off at this point lol. also if my hip barks at me I'll probably just walk off course/DNF so theres that...
eg sore is ok, pain is not. after my treadmill 3 miler last night my butt is sore. I can live with that lol. I'll target 7:20/mi pace in the race and see what happens. Based on past results I'll actually have to start in wave 1 lol shocker [~3k participants], if I start in wave 2 or worse honestly there will probably be strollers 5 wide across the street and walkers and all that lol. It looks like the 10k goes at turkey trot speed
unfortunately I dont think I have a particularly good chance of running the entire 10k at that pace pain free, if it starts to be painful and not just sore I'll walk off. bleh. No way to really judge the likelihood of that happening...
I need to sneak in some mile repeats at 10k pace also as a tuneup... hmm

Update: survived a flat dirt trail run just now for a 6x800 workout with 60s walk breaks in between in 95* heat this afternoon, I haven't done any speed work since maybe early June I guess? I held 7:00/mi pace fairly easily although I was sweating pretty heavily and may have to burn those shorts
Cautiously optimistic that I won't be limping tomorrow morning, my hip feels totally normal. The only thing that 'hurt' on this test run was my quads which I take as a great sign
I wasn't trying to improve my fitness any, just five days out I wanted to know if my body could tolerate my proposed 10k pace. Looks good IMO
I'll probably back off to 7:20/mi for the actual race tho and look to negative split the back half as I'm rolling in fairly undertrained and haven't worked hard on my feet since July
But felt good to be able to move a little bit without any pain ESP given the oppressive heat. Race day on Sunday supposedly will be 30* cooler Wewt, but still a little above optimum but I'm not complaining..
CN: seems like I can tolerate
A) running hard/'fast'
B) I seem to not have any lingering pain
C) kinda stoked that I might be able to get back into running at least 10-15 mpw here fairly soon

thanks, I guess I just wish I was able to 'stick to the plan' and pace properly [7:20?], oh well. I kinda wanted to risk it tho so I guess I deserve it.
anyways: I'm changing my mind again. I think I need to stop running and just do ellipitcal or something for now. Something aint right.
Starting PT. Did some foam rolling before/after a light treadmill 3.3 miler at like 8:57/mi pace and stuff wasnt feeling good. Hard to pin down, but possibly in/around my problem area. I had also biked hard that day and my quads still hurt from sundays 10k. Anyways I guess I'll take another 6 weeks off or something. Gah. Kinda concerned I'm making things worse for myself.

Strength training should help.

welcome!
I had PT last night, felt great during [plus the therapist was a HOT chick, damn]
anyways my hip got sore in the place I wish it didnt [my injury] after.
Eg, typical quackery is my fear here. Oh well, learned a bunch of cool hip stretches and got objective feedback that regardless of whatever my injury is/is not, my hip flexibility in specific is holding me back
/me stretches furiously

cool, I managed a 5K treadmill last night after some stretches and a warmup, right about 9:00/mi pace and my HR was pegged in/around 122 [zone 1 I guess]
I take that as a good sign. Today its a little sore in the hip area, but I'm not limping. I dunno what to think lol. Maybe I'm slowly getting better. On the treadmill my hip flexor on the 'bad' side was making its presence known a little bit, but it didnt hurt or anything.
sigh. lol
thats cool you're entering a 'major' marathon, I am now leaning against a BQ attempt but I dont want to remove it from a possibility if I get over this hip thing. Of course to BQ I'd actually have to RUN a marathon again which I'm leaning against ever doing again at this point lol.

I think you should to sort out that injury before going back full time. I see a lot of runners try to power through these type of issues with ill consequences.
Take a break and live to run another day.

Boston Qualifier. It's the time you have to run (depending on age and sex) in order to get into the Boston Marathon.
Ah makes sense now, thanks

dont forget to subtract the 2-3 mins from the 'standard' to be assured of getting in lol [varies every year, is on a trend currently of tightening, mostly IMO due to fewer entries avail because of greater charity slots]
I'm a longshot as all fuck because I need to go 3:22--3:23 in my AG when I age up [but you can qualify like a year early to your next AG lol loophole], but my half PR [hilly/SF] is 1:47 so I obviously have to speed the fuck up as my marathon PR [well, just trying to finish] was a hair over 4H lol so I have a long way to go. That and being injured presently are not a good combo to get there. 2017 not looking good lol. Might be able to sneak a 3:3n:00 if the stars align for me next year and I can resume running where I left off pre-hip injury. That still leaves me a solid 10-15m off the requirements. Maybe 2018 lol?
This whole line of reasoning is SUPER optimistic of course. I demonstrate over and over whenever I try that my 1 mile, 2 mile, 5K 'speed' doesnt translate well to my 10k or half or full performances so I would have to figure out how to get much more mileage in I am sure to fix that issue, far more marathon specific training, threshold and long runs and all that that I actually cant do anymore $because_injured. Otherwise I seem to have no chance whatsoever as for instance my 5K is trending sub 20:00 which would suggest a BQ isnt a big deal but I'm really ~30+ minutes off from that goal
