Like to run | Ran 18:01 5000 at age 57 in 2025 | #wahoowa

Raced the @tracksmith Twilight 5000 last night at Kezar Stadium in SF, went 18:01 (5:48 per mile). That's a new over 40 running era best for me.

@neeraj Consistency is the key!

[Hutch Carpenter 🌻 @bhc3]

Being “OK” with slower paced running is the hardest part of easy days. I use a low HR (120 today) as my win.

@Predamame I've had: "Nearby track; closed for event."

Response: "Looks like a road intervals day!"

* 60 sec recovery. Gotta spring for editing functionality here...

[Hutch Carpenter 🌻 @bhc3]

6:22, 6:22, 6:22, 6:22, 6:22 with 70 sec recovery. Slowed these down a tad after feeling rough from Monday workout. Did reps 2,4 in reverse clockwise direction.

Legs experiencing delicious fatigue after yesterday’s sub threshold workout. Go slow to go fast, I suppose. HR 118 was a great result.

[Hutch Carpenter 🌻 @bhc3]

6:21, 6:18, 6:19, 6:17, 6:18 with 60 sec recovery. Felt a little rough after yesterday’s return from Terre Haute, travel does that. Good session overall.

@CatholicRunners “Squirrel!”

Easy Sunday morning. You know the iconic Coke bottle shape? Decades ago Coca Cola ran a national contest for a bottle design. The winning contoured bottle shape came out of Terre Haute.

Fitting a run in on my son’s graduation day. Love this statue at Rose-Hulman. Self-made man.

[Hutch Carpenter 🌻 @bhc3]

Out in Terre Haute, IN for my son’s college graduation. Deming Park here is a real gem.

@runliftrunlift #4 is where I'm at. The Achilles has been a chronic complainer for many years, but then will go through quiet periods. Currently expressing its displeasure with load, but returns to normal state after a couple days.

@Lincoln745762 @Brady_H DOWN WITH BIG GYM!

6:21, 6:21, 6:18, 6:19, 6:18 with 60 sec recovery. Went for it today, the full 8000 meters of sub threshold. Some heel tendon discomfort rep 2, but that passed.

Dave Wottle's 200m splits were 26.4, 27.1, 26.2 and 26.2 in his gold medal Olympics performance.
Reminder that even pacing won't feel like even effort. Holding that same pace gets ever tougher, whatever the race.

[Alex Predhome, Track and Field Enjoyer @Predamame]

Optimization culture seems like a recipe for chronic anxiety.

The culture needs a pivot to some sort of resilience culture instead, where people learn to succeed in less than ideal circumstances.

Wottleheads know.

[Hutch Carpenter 🌻 @bhc3]

Swirling, gusty day. One of those days where it’s a head wind whatever direction you run. Heel tendon system was good today.

"There were 15% fewer entry-level & internship postings in 2025 than the year before, according to Handshake, while applications per posting jumped 26%." via @jselingo

If firms don't hire entry level, who exactly will be the experienced professionals for them in 10 years?
