The Running Thread--2024

[Cabius]

I have two packets of the Skratch "so high in sodium you might die" drink mix, but haven't used them yet. I do tend to be a very salty sweater, and to really fall apart in heat, but it hasn't been hot enough yet to even experiment with it (e.g. try a partial dosage one run, work up to a full packet if that goes well).

@DopeyBadger Thank you for that detailed info. I will try to slow just a little next time and see if I can hold on til the end. That record HM is about 2-1/2 years ago now so not the best to go by but not crazy far off either. It does seem to me like I am right on the edge every time I try and that’s why when the wheels come off, they really come off. That 3:30 is really a long term (year or two) goal as right now for Boston I need a 3:25 which doesn’t seem likely but in about 16 months my qualifying window for the next age group (3:35) will open. If I can improve and stay consistent that is much more of a possibility.

It wasn't a spectator friendly race, with moral support on the course being provided by horses, cows, and even a few alpacas!

Sounds like my kinda race!
Congrats!

This video about Jeremy Renner makes me want to buy another pair of Brooks and go run a 10k.

Go Hawkeye!!! 36 bones, spleen, lung, eye and now he is back out running. Very inspirational!

I cannot believe he is running. Truly a miracle.
