My fueled 12 mile long run is in the books. Fuel being 8 oz each or Gatolyte and G Zero (probably twice as many electrolytes as I needed) and three packs of Welch’s fruit snacks. Despite being more idea temperature my pace was a bit off my 11 mile run last week. Still VO2max estimates over the week have kept improving. I did feel a bit stronger than when I’ve been doing these fasted, definitely not in Cookie Monster mode when I get done the runs too. So I’ll take all that as a win #running #training #fitness
@randygalbraith For now it is some of that plus competing against the plan. If I manage to keep this up for any real length of time, like years or decades, it'll have to convert over to against the plan only.
You're running long distance zone2, right ? Your posts might encourage me to do some posting too :) ! I want to work a bit with data like running dynamics, improve ground contact time and see if it really means something in terms of efficiency for me. I'm also using an #opensource watch, the #banglejs2, and there's a bit of coding involved before I can get the data I want. That's a journey.
Yep mostly, or supposed to be. Today I was a bit higher than Zone 2 for more of the run that I should have been, but just barely so. The topic of open source smart watches/fitness trackers came up in the Running Matrix room last week, ironically. I'll have to look into that!
I've been slowly working up to this for almost a year now. It started with a fitness reboot that started at the end of April, started adding running again over the summer, and now focusing on continuing to build up my cardiovascular capabilities/efficiency. I think after I run a half in the next few weeks I'm going to drop long run mileage back, increase length of other runs, and maybe add a fourth running day until I get to a Zone 2 sustainable pace of a 10 minute mile or faster (ideally).
