Took a few days off due to no time with work and travel for vacation, tried to get a decent run in this morning didn’t go great had to take a dump a mile and a half in, luckily found a cvs with a bathroom then finished up the run, im assuming the humidity was getting to me I was soaked by a mile and a half and having a hard time I was also running faster than I wanted to do it was probably a combination of the pace and different climate
First mike was 8:50 I normally try to keep 10 minute mile pace if I’m running more than just a mile

Also make sure you're working on your breathing patterns too - in for 4 steps, out for 3 OR in for 3 steps, and out for 2... then on a strenuous uphill, in for 2 and out for 1. Not only keeps you on a better rhythm, but helps alternate which foot you're exhaling on, so the impacts get distributed evenly and won't lead to knee issues down the road.

had to take a dump a mile and a half in

This is my concern on those long bicycle rides. I can usually find a spot to pull off and take a quick leak. But man, if I ever get the trots and have to drop a deuce..... In my hydration backpack I keep a bunch of cheap toilet paper rolled/folded up in a ziplock baggie. Just in case I need to make a power dump I'll have something to wipe my saddle sore ass with, and not have to sacrifice a sock!

I was fighting one today. Farted about 1 mile in and quickly had to cut it off. Was trying to be graceful and not land too hard as it was bubbling.

I think this can be applied:

That’s a whole lot of thinking when running ?. I guess eventually you body just learns what it needs. I don’t ever really focus on breathing but that’s just me . I’m gonna Finnish this week out strong you have inspired me

Try the breathing. It helps. If I’m just running normal, 4/3, incline 3/2, uphill 2/1. And it clears your mind of all the bullshit you might be thinking or focusing on.

I try to breathe in through the nose and out of the mouth. I can’t remember where I learned to do that, or if it’s even right.

I can’t breath through my nose when running I’ve never been able to get enough air through my nose

I was afraid to fart I was getting close to shitting behind a liquor store probably nothing the back side of the liquor store handent seen before and I’d imagine I could have scored some crack back there to finish out the run strong, but I saw a cvs sign off in the distance and pinched it in for another 1/4 mile or so lol anybody that saw me come out of that bathroom probably had questions I was soaked head to toe

I just kind of meandered around yesterday. Was a bit of a westerly wind to deal with. Would have gone a bit further but was getting hungry. I'm planning on a long ride this weekend. Thinking I&M Canal from Joliet (Hollywood Rd) to Morris, and back. Should be around 50 miles.

Same with you, damn near logged what I did in THREE weeks, in a week! Hell yeah!

I should have waited a bit longer to go for my ride. Just lost power…

I’m a little disappointed in the average speed. I was working it pretty hard, even with the headwind.

i also hit 179bpm. Thought my heart was going to explode.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Got another ride in today. Ended up taking the Prairie Path down through Wheaton, into Warrenville, through Blackwell Forest Preserve up to McKee Marsh (where I go walking in the winter), then looped back home. Almost 56 miles in two days.

Again, dismayed with the average speed, as it sure seemed like I was moving faster than that. Also, when I got back and was putting the bicycle away, the front brakes were dragging heavily on the wheel (rim brakes). Wasn't like that when I left the house, so who knows how much of my ride today was extra effort with the brakes working against me.

The Blackwell/McKee area in more detail. That was a nice area, different scenery, some elevation changes (minor), and a couple of turns kept things interesting.

Still doing 5 miles/day. Today was fucking brutal. 71% humidity, felt like I was swimming.
