Solid workout! May I suggest cutting the recovery to 600m next time, then 400m? Would be good to get down to a 2 min recovery, and I have found 400m nice and slow is pretty close to 2 mins. Just a thought.

Hi Yasir, I used to be Jeff's running buddy in AZ. Do you run with his running group there in Kansas City? Good luck with your upcoming marathon in May. Are you shooting for that 3:15 time at that race?

From Yasir on Tue, Feb 04, 2014 at 18:21:00 from 99.20.240.112

Rhett: We don't know each others personally but it will be fun. about the 3:15 I'm training for that pace now but will see. The weather is making it very hard to but some long runs outdoor.

I just run: yes it was so boring, i started racing with other people. you stare at how fast the are going and then set my treadmill faster.lol

One of my business associates lives in Kansas City and was supposed to be going with me to Canada today. He got snowed in and can't make the trip. Stay warm and sane, that 80 miles can wait until next week!

From Rhett on Fri, Feb 07, 2014 at 09:37:32 from 24.121.0.8

80 miles in a week is huge, especially if you are stuck on a TM doing it. Good luck.

I dont knwo about power lifter but one of my goal is to go whole year without time off for injuries. Weak hips and hamstring cease alot of injuries (that what they told me!!!)

From derhammer on Mon, Apr 14, 2014 at 12:03:39 from 64.245.52.2

This was the last long run before the Lincoln marathon on May 4. I started the run with a tight hip (right side) but it got better all the way until the last 2 miles. I'm glad I was able to finish on pace. Getting a new pair of shoes out the box tomorrow and let the tapering madness begins. drooping the miles by 80% for this week. 60% next weel. and 40% for the last week with race miles included.

Take it easy - get that body back to 100%. Start adding some 100m strides at the end of those easy runs to get some speed and turnover in - it also helps to loosen up those hips.

AM: 21 miles long run.

I started the run around 7 am cloudy and around 72 degrees then it rained from mile 5 through 14 which felt very good. by mile 15 the rain stoped and the sun came out and that's when the fun began. Temp went up to 90 degrees in no time and the humidity was 89%. by mile 19 I was feeling like mile 24 during a race but I kept the pace. I walked for .25 mile and then tried to finish strong the last 1.75. thanks to Beth and the kids for finding me and making sure I was not dead.

I need to start my long runs little pearlier to avoid the heat and humidity. The good thing I'm running without pain and the pace is getting easier despite this hot and humid weather.

You're ready for this!

Race: The Twin Cities Marathon (26.2 Miles) 03:28:41, Place overall: 1112
Easy MilesMarathon Pace MilesThreshold MilesVO2 Max MilesTotal Distance
0.0026.200.000.0026.20

what did I learn today:

How well my training goes does not guarantee a great time on race day.

know my type of weather, course, and adjust my goal. (35 degrees with windshield that made it feel like 32 degreea) is not my type of weather.

If I'm going to follow a pace group I will line up close to them because slow runners will block you until they are out of sight.

When you are meeting a friend at a big race (Matt 5467) agree on a place to meet before hand. I was looking to meet with matt from this blog. Cant wait to see how you did. 

I was freezing and shaking trying to line up on the right spot to start the race (thanks to Beth driving and helping me to stay warm). Did not warm up until mile 4 and never felt loose until mile 11. Beth tried to get my attention twice during those miles but I had no idea. This how tired and uncomfortable I was with cold wind. I love tough races I seem to get better the following training cycle.

special thanks to my wife and race coordinator without her I would miss all of my races for one reason or another.

thanks to everyone on this blog for your support.

thanks Jtshad sorry about all with winning about the weather. I was rasied in the desert this was a little too much.

Hard to get the muscles warm in the cold. Great race regardless and nice pictures!

i was watching the race online and it looked very cold. all of of the spectators were bundled up in winter gear!

great job on your race. it's tough to get going in the cold, especially when you aren't acclimated to it. you ran well.

great photos, and nice job to your wife for being an awesome race coordinator. :)

Nice job Yasir! That is a respectable time and I sympathise with you on the cold. I have a very narrow range of comfortable running temperatures. Keep up the good running and you're going to be dropping that PR quickly!

From Matt Schreiber on Mon, Oct 06, 2014 at 09:04:30 from 66.17.107.219

Nice job Yasir. It may not have been as fast as you were hoping, but it's nice to know when you're muscles are tight you can go run a marathon under 3:30. Way to muscle through those gills at the end. ;) Wish I could be met up with you. Apparently I had NO idea how hard it'd be to find someone in that size of a crowd. Safe travels!

From Jake K on Fri, Oct 10, 2014 at 13:09:16 from 159.212.71.199

Nice run Yasir. It's tough to run your best when you are really cold, but you were still in range of your best marathons. Solid.

The first running day after the race.

AM: 6 miles easy

pm: 2.5 easy miles plus 2 X 400 in the end.

My body is feeling great except some sorness on the left foot maybee from my reebok shoes. Might not race on these again. The 400 felt really easy I might race a 5k soon and decide what is the next adventure please recomend any marathon that worth running (5 and half month to 6 month from now).

From Yasir on Fri, Oct 17, 2014 at 11:31:37 from 99.20.240.112

From Matt Schreiber on Sat, Oct 18, 2014 at 19:52:36 from 66.17.102.175

Ha! It's amazing what any paced marathon will take out of you. I probably won't completely decide on the 5k til that morning. I'm leaning towards no, though. My cardio took an ugly hit these last couple weeks, and my racing confidence will likely follow. Do you have any coming up?

From Yasir on Sat, Oct 18, 2014 at 20:05:01 from 99.20.240.112

There is a local 5 k on Nov 8th that i'm looking at. Its funny how your body acts after a marathon. Different problem every morning. I'll keep you posted.
