2/4/19 to 3/31/19: Turning Good Intentions into Action

I heard the phrase, 'turning good intentions into action,' in this interview, forwarded to me by Danny.   Since my last post, I had quite a good stretch of training before re-injuring my glute/hip/back.  And, as I inch closer to both the marathon and hopefully a full recovery from the injury - that phrase seems quite appropriate.  If you scroll through 'the stuff' below, you'll notice that training was going well up until February 20th.  There wasn't any specific event that seemed to trigger the setback, but a culmination of misfortune and stupidity no doubt played a role...a seemingly consistent combination for the long distance runner.  Or, for this one at least.

The time between then and now is where I had to turn the good intentions into action.  But, it's a funny thing trying to have good intentions while recovering from an injury, and balancing that with the good intentions of training for a marathon.  If you imagine a Venn diagram, some portion of the dueling intentions overlap, whereas others are at odds with each other.  I did my best to balance the two; running my easy runs as easy as possible, cross training and developing my own PT routine, getting good rest, etc.  As it currently stands, I may have been able to strike the right balance.

In other news....
- On March 9th, I tried to join Danny for a hard long run, and unfortunately my fitness just wasn't there.  It did not compare favorably to some pre-injury runs, but it was still a step.
- The following week was New Bedford HM...I won't be doing a write up, but the long and short of it is that I was an idiot the night prior and had a dog pooh race.  Again, I'll chalk it up to a hard training run that didn't go well.
- The following week DID go well, as Neil, Rahul, and I hit a groove during the Soup Run and I felt stronger as the run went on for a rock solid 24m training run.
- The following week once again went well at the Upton 15k.  On a very undulating course, I maintained a 5:51/mile pace that felt in control.  It's tough to gauge effort on a course like that, but I recovered well, which is a good indicator of both effort and overall fitness coming along.
That brings me to this coming weekend - the Pub Series opener at Doyle's.  Nothing like five weeks in a row of hard efforts leading into the Marathon.  Nothing could go wrong here...

21-Feb		Why?		0:32:32		2.5		AM:  Tried to just go really slow.  Another dumb idea.  Uber the rest of the way.

22-Feb		Off		0:00:00		0		AM: Off.
		Off		0:00:00		0		PM: Off.
23-Feb		Walking		0:19:53		1.35		AM: This was walking, and I did feel better afterward.  Slightly improved range of motion.
		Off		0:00:00		0		PM: Off.
24-Feb		CSU Shakeout		0:29:46		3.04		AM: 3m very easy with Terry.  We hosted the CSU long run, so I suppose the injury worked out since it gave me plenty of time to cook.
		Off		0:00:00		0		PM: Off.
25-Feb		Off		0:00:00		0		AM: Off, early meeting and the injury was super tight when I woke up.
		Easy		0:53:00		6.22		PM: 6+ home, and kept it easy.  Feels like I'm moving in the right direction.
26-Feb		Easy		0:48:31		6.02		AM: 6+ in very cold headwinds.  Averaged about 8min per.  Encouraged by this - uncomfortable, but not painful.
		Moderate		0:50:51		7.03		PM: Encouraging run.  Averaged about 7:10/mile.  Stride feels off, but still no pain.  Not exactly a true 'moderate' run, but this oddly left my legs feeling like they did some work.
27-Feb		Easy		0:50:48		6.14		AM: 6+ at 8:16/mile.  No ibuprofen this morning and the back/hip/glute was uncomfortable and awkward, but not painful.  Stopped a few times to do the hip raise/pull movements.
		Easy		0:56:24		7.14		PM: 7+ at 7:53/mile…getting below 8 is good, I guess.
28-Feb		Easy		0:52:01		6.02		AM: 6 at 8:38/mile.
		BU Track		2:03:00		13.37		PM: Commute home then track.  800/1000/2000/1000/400x2/200x2.  Very surprised to get this done.  Back and glute were uncomfortable all day, and I took 2 ibu at 3pm and 1 at 6pm.  Not sure if that worked or if I loosened up on the commute.
1-Mar		Easy		0:53:05		6.4		AM: Shorter route for the commute, taking it easy.

		Off		0:00:00		0		PM: Off.
3-Mar		CSU MLR		1:48:00		14.3		AM: CSU long run.  Happy to do a MLR, but not quite where I want to be.  I'll take what I can get though - 14+ at 7:37/mile.
		Off		0:00:00		0		PM: Off.
4-Mar		Easyish		0:55:07		6.03		AM: Commute in a snowstorm!

		Easy		1:01:00		7.38		PM: Commute home and to Whole Foods for some fish.  A bit slow, and legs felt really tired when I finished.
6-Mar		Easy		1:04:00		8.07		AM: Normal commute again! 8+ at 7:56/mile.  Footing a little better.  Sub 8 is good?  Ugh.
		Easy		0:50:55		6.31		PM: 6+ commute at 8:04/mile.  A little slower due specifically to a few bad spots.
7-Mar		Easy		0:41:41		5.48		AM: 5m easy commute.
		Tempo + Track		1:45:00		11		PM: 5m tempo on the way to the track at probably 6:30-40 pace.  Then an aborted track workout.  1000x3/800/1000/200.  Supposed to be (1000x3,800)x3 with 1min rest on reps 2min on sets. Right side got crazy tight during the second set so I called it off.
8-Mar		Easy		0:49:27		6.22		AM: Bald Eagle run!!  Averaged an easy 7:57/mile.
		Easy		0:50:54		6.34		PM: 6m easy at 8min per.
9-Mar		10m Tempo		2:20:00		20.21		AM: 20m with 15m averaging 6:45.  Couldn't hang today.  Legs felt absolutely trashed - hamstrings and calves.  Back, hip, and glute weren't an issue.
		Off		0:00:00		0		PM: Alden & Harlow!
10-Mar		CSU MLR Easy		1:25:00		10.18		AM: 10+ very easy in the snow.

11-Mar		Easy		0:52:28		6.02		AM: 6m commute on sheets of ice.  Slow going.

12-Mar		Easy		0:55:49		7.04		AM: 7+ at 7:56/mile.
		Tempo + Hills		1:01:00		8.89		PM: 1m warm up, 5m tempo at around 6:20/mile, 6 up/down repeats on Appleton, 2 10sec hard repeats.  Easy cooldown back home with Eli.  Thought this would be higher volume…
13-Mar		Easy		0:57:33		7.05		AM: 7+ at around 8per.  Legs are beat.
		Easy		1:09:24		8.07		PM: 8+ very easy.  Commute home, then picked up Raleigh to run and meet Elizabeth as she was running home for the first time in a while.
14-Mar		Easy		0:56:47		7.21		AM: 7+ at around 7:50/mile with the legs feeling like shit the whole time.  This buildup sucks.
		BU Track		1:45:00		11.7		PM: (1200, 1200, 800) x 2.  Felt like I was just muscling through every lap...still...eh...not bad I guess.
15-Mar		Shakeout		0:41:50		5.02		AM: Easy easy at 8:20/mile.
		Easy		0:54:27		6.88		PM: 6+ easy + Raleigh averaging 7:55/mile.
16-Mar		Easy		0:47:22		6.07		AM: 6m at 7:48/mile.  This is the best I've felt in a while.  Glute was fine after 1m.
		Off		0:00		0		PM: Off.
17-Mar		Wup Cdown		0:40:00		5.04		AM: 4m warm up and 1m cool down.  Pace whatever.
		New Bedford Half GP		1:19:40		13.15		AM: I stink.  Legs felt trashed 5m into the race and thought about cutting it short.  Stuck with trying to average sub 6 through 10m, then plodded the remaining 5k like a chump.
18-Mar		Easy (normal commute!)		1:03:00		8.03		AM: 8m commute at 7:55/mile.  Didn't feel easy, but the back and glute weren't really a thought.

19-Mar		Easy		1:03:00		8.03		AM: 8m commute partway with Alex.

21-Mar		Easyish		0:45:18		6.02		AM: 6+ at around 7:30/mile.  Early a.m. meeting screwed up a potential special block, but I'm still sore muscularly so probably for the best.  Glute/hip/back are improving rapidly this week.
				2:16:00		16		PM: 10k tempo at 6:08/mile followed up by 3 x 2m between 5:50 and 6min per.  Tough day, but a very good sign to check this box.
22-Mar		Ski Trip		0:34:35		4.09		AM: Falling many times on the slopes followed by an uncomfortable 4m on the treadmill at the hotel.  Roads too narrow and drivers suck in NH.
		Ski Trip		0:00:00		0		PM: Good dinner good times, outdoor pool in a blizzard!
23-Mar		Travel to Plympton		0:44:08		5.42		AM: 5+ with Eli.  Nice and easy.
		Travel to Plympton		0:00:00		0		PM: Solstice!
24-Mar		Soup Run		2:44:00		24.16		AM: Behaved well last night so that this could go well today.  Can slice it as 6:39 for 18, 6:36 for 16…or 6:51/mile for the whole bopper.  Very happy with this.  24m long run is no joke.
		Off/Nap		0:00:00		0		PM: Lots of air relax, and a great nap!
25-Mar		Easyish		1:02:00		8.18		AM: Legs feel pretty solid actually.  8m commute at 7:39/mile.
		Easy		0:54:26		7.01		PM: A little tired, and added on with Raleigh.  Averaged 7:45/mile (including slow Raleigh).
26-Mar		Easyish		1:03:00		8.18		AM: 8m commute at 7:44/mile.  Feel some DOMS, but still not bad.
		10k Tempo + Hilly 1m Repeats (x4.6)		1:37:00		14.15		PM: 10k tempo in 39:45 (6:25/mile), followed by hilly neighborhood 1m loop with Amory, Rahul, and Tom.  Did 4.6 reps averageing 6:17/mile.  Fractional rep was because Amory didn't want to be finished!  This was a great night of quality and quantity.  Three out of the past six days have been big.  Need to recover now.
27-Mar		Easy		1:05:00		8.19		AM: Easy at 7:59/mile.
		Easy Easy		0:53:07		6.37		PM: Easy easy at 8:20/mile.
28-Mar		Easy Easy		1:07:00		8.21		AM: Another easy easy at 8:09/mile.
		Progression Sorta		0:51:13		7.2		PM: First mile easy, then the next 10k at a moderate progression.  Still tired, so this was half assed.
29-Mar		Easyish		1:02:00		8.12		AM: 8m commute at whatever.
		Easy		0:40:16		5.01		PM: 5m easy.
30-Mar		Frank Nealon 15k GP		0:54:48		9.35		AM: Averaged 5:51/mile.  A little quicker than last year, and I felt pretty comfortable…though certainly not 'easy' on a hard course.
		Warm up & Cool Down		0:45:00		5.37		AM: Just the warm up and cool down mileage.
31-Mar		CSU Long Run		1:56:00		16.01		AM: Solid long run in very warm temps.  Averaged 7:18/mile on the hilly Weston loop.
		Off		0:00:00		0		PM: Off.

3/12/18 to 3/18/18: Training & New Bedford Half Marathon 2018 Race Report

As we turned along the coast we began to taste the salt water in the air;
And as we continued onward, a mighty wind rose up.
But so too did our spirits!
Running hellbent and hard into a blisteringly cold headwind must mean one thing;
It is March in New England
and here I am
Running in New Bedford!

The CSU crew met up at the gymnasium for bib pickup and a photo before heading out to warm up.  And that caused things to be a little bit hectic.  The warm up went fine, though it was a challenge to actually stay warm in the 20 degree temps.  What caused some confusion though was getting to the line.  Normally I would do strides off the front of the starting line then walk in, but the volunteers were telling everyone that had to run around the block and enter in from a side street.  That caused a huge commotion and was a bad error on their part.  I was stuck in the "8-min" corral with runners who were not even close to that pace, and I had no chance to push through the crowd.  This resulted in a ~20s difference between my net time and my bib time.  Worse though, is that I had to bob and weave for the first half of a mile.  I'm surprised to look and find that my split was 5:35.  Worth noting, I didn't look at my watch the entire race.  I passed the 5k/10k/10m markers and that was the only feedback I had, and even then I knew that was inaccurate because it was based on gun time..

After that first mile, I was already feeling like I hadn't warmed up enough.  I wasn't gassed, but the elevation changes made me more uncomfortable than they should have.  I expected miles 2-4 to be a bit slower because of the elevation gain, but mile 3 in particular should have been 20 seconds faster.

Once turning into the neighborhoods, essentially every mile through mile 9, I was doing my best to stay running hard.  I could tell that I was moving well, and I felt like I had settled in nicely as I continued to pass runners.  There were two guys who passed me sometime around mile seven or eight, and I did what I could to hang with them and draft - though I knew they would pull away before the coast.

Once I hit the coast, I was happy to not be blown over by the wind.  It was the standard tough, cold, bitter headwind - but nothing will compare to last year's brutality.  Again, I was trying to cling to one group of runners or another and draft.  I passed the 10 mile mark in ~56:40, which meant two things: 1.) a new 10m PR, and 2.) a HM PR was in the bag (I was hurting, but I knew that I'd be able to handle the final 5k).

After drafting for maybe a quarter mile off of a group of three, I thought they would perhaps drop me soon.  So, I wanted to do my part and took my turn breaking the wind while I still could.  And oddly enough, I started to feel good and the three other runners started to fade off the back...I don't think I was picking up the pace, but maybe I just do better at the front of the pack.

I continued to enter the hurt locker...but that is a familiar place, and I enjoy it!  So after turning away from the water and into the city, I continued to pass people.  I don't have splits for the final miles, but I'm pretty sure I was around 5:40/mile.  I hammered the final hill, and started to pick people off as we descended towards the finish.  With no one really in sight for the final straight, I picked it up a little, but didn't search for any higher gears (probably for the best with a tight left hamstring).

I finished in 1:15:02 (chip time), and a big PR.

3/19/17 to 3/25/17: Crap Week & 2017 New Bedford Half Marathon Race Report

New Bedford Race Report:

Showing up to a race with the mindset of, "if my injury starts to hurt more, I'll just stop" is never fun.  Especially when the distance is a not-so-trivial half marathon.  Nonetheless, that was what was going through my head as Elizabeth and I arrived at New Bedford for the second USATF-NE Grand Prix race.

I've been dealing with tendonitis in my left ankle, and on race day I broke my own rule and took ibuprofen.  I'm not sure why I was so hell bent on racing on this particular day though - this was the windiest day of racing I have ever done.  Nonetheless, after a decent warm up with Elizabeth, Neil, Danny, and Susanne I changed shoes, and headed for the start.

Looking back, I would break this race up into three segments: 0-3.5, 3.5-10, 10-finish.

The first few miles were a challenge to settle into any kind of rhythm.  The headwinds at the start were a lot more intense and challenging than in years past.  And after starting a bit too far back in the pack, I had to struggle into the wind as I steadily passed chunks of runners.

The second segment felt more like normal race conditions.  I'm sure there must have been some wind, but I didn't notice it.  Neil caught up to me early on here, and we were able to run side by side for the majority of these miles.

Then finally the 3rd segment.  Let's just go ahead and look at some "race footage":

Yes, that about sums it up.

Anyways, it was a meh race, but my ankle held up - so I'm looking at it as a good training stimulus after a poor week of training.  I also recently joined Strava, and taking a look at the NB Final Stretch segment is pretty cool.  I apparently had the fifth fastest kick of the day.
