Plan this morning was 50 min, but misjudged the route slightly and wound up with a 10k in 52 min. Threw in 6X15/60 strides starting at 40 min. Didn’t feel great but got it done. Also, it seems like wind season is upon us.

Standard recovery 45 this morning. Temp was chilly but the sun made it feel good.

@nomdk1 Awesome!

@RobRueff @indymonumental That’s all you can ask for. Congrats!

@StellaSparkssss Longer threshold is probably the perfect mix of mental/physical challenge, but if I had to pick one, I’d say mental just due to the need to focus on hitting the right pace start to finish.

[Steve @rtcrunr]

This morning was 3X10 min at threshold with 2.5 min rec. Battled some wind and heavy legs, but got it done.

View from the farm this afternoon but the pic doesn’t do it justice. Hard to beat fall and this has been a really good one so far!

[Steve @rtcrunr]

@RobRueff @indymonumental Good luck! Go get it!

Steasy 45 min this morning. I was really feeling the cumulative work of the week the first couple miles, but by halfway I started to get in a groove and felt much better towards the end, with the pace progressing accordingly. Ready for the weekend!

[Steve @rtcrunr]

Got after it a bit this morning: 6x60 sec hard followed by a 16 min tempo. Got the HR to 182 as a high. Felt more like Sep out than Nov.

@MelindaHoward4 @Orangemud Nice! Sounds like duck weather might be headed my way the next couple mornings.

[Steve @rtcrunr]

Relatively relaxed 5 miles this morning. My HR is higher now that I’ve changed things up a bit, but the pace is faster, my cadence is higher, and I’m feeling much better overall just running at the effort where my body feels most natural.

[Steve @rtcrunr]

My watch had Mon on a Tue and required a restart at 20 min this morning. Workout was 4X5 min with 60 sec + 2X30/60. Decent session and I felt pretty good. So far I’m liking the training tweaks I’ve made, mainly less volume and everything a touch faster.

[Steve @rtcrunr]

Going with a quality over quantity approach for a while. This morning was 6X60 sec at 3k/5k followed by 15 min around threshold. This is the second time I’ve done something like this and I really like the layout. Definitely something I plan on keeping in the rotation.

[Steve @rtcrunr]

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! Well, actually I didn’t, but thanks to the reminder I do now. I’ve been here a while! 😳 #MyXAnniversary

[Steve @rtcrunr]

Really easy hour this morning, keeping the HR in check, then 5X20 sec uphill strides with walk back recovery after.

[Steve @rtcrunr]

@MelindaHoward4 Hope you feel better soon!

[Steve @rtcrunr]

@nomdk1 Sounds like a plan!

[Steve @rtcrunr]

The week that was. Wanted to be in Atlanta for the USATF Masters Championships today, but after probably too much training in Jun/Jul/Aug, just not enough the past 2 mos. Lessons learned and we always keep moving forward!

[Steve @rtcrunr]

@nomdk1 Awesome! One of my best friends and old college teammate was top-10 and 2nd 50-54.
