ILX running running thread

I think if I tried, my rule of thumb would be to quadruple my marathon time. What's the course time limit?

the top 100-milers should be finishing around 13 hours; my goal is to beat them

time limit 29 hours, aka, i can walk that shit in if needed

ooooh boy, just got the weather report from the race site

One to four inches of snow are predicted for today and
tomorrow with a low of 24 degrees F. on Sat. morning. Sleet is predicted for
Houston area a little farther south. A/O 11:45 AM Central Time there is no
precip falling yet today. Good luck to anyone who's flying or driving down
here!

34 minute miles!!! That's a slow ass walk.

i'd trade out 1/2 of bandaids for moleskin patches, if bodyglide should fail?

man with that weather you might wanna bring a spaceblanket

microspikes?

i've never worn a spiked shoe in my life :(

yaktrax

actually i think there was a pic on trailrun jesus' blog of yaktrax on his shoes?

he uses mirco spikes iirc - do u like yaktrax - they are not well loved from what ive heard

make sure you don't poop out at all if you can help it

pooped out early

^________________________________^

oh shit

missed your question-- i've not used microspikes, but recommend yaktrax pro for mixed conditions. very light and unobtrusive.

ilxor, go out and kill that thing tomorrow and have a great time.

finished 50 miles in 11:54 or thereabouts

the 100 mile winner passed me with about 1-1.5 miles to go, finished ~10 min ahead of me O_O

nie job dude!

Well done. Are you tired?

I'm glad the hippy lost the 100.

YAY ILXOR!

I'm glad the hippy lost the 100.

lol, we crossed paths like 4 times out there, i thought he was in the lead almost the whole race! the winner actually beat him by like 30 minutes... unbelievable. anyway, not too tired, slept a lot yesterday. legs sore in a couple specific spots (right achilles, left shin) while other parts feel fine (quads, hamstrings).

100 next?

doubt it, i was pretty zonked after 50. maybe in 5-10 years?

Wow, congrats ilxor!! That's really incredible.

nice work, ilxor!

first run in a week today (illness + 3 ft of snow and rising) FELT GREAT!!!

hay dudes friend me on on daily mile http://www.dailymile.com/people/JoeX

astonishing stuff ilxor

bought a treadmill fyi

I'm disappointed I wasn't nominated to be on team Dailymile 2011.

its an outrage frankly

dailymile need to work on the veracity of yr infographics - p sure 13 is not five times larger than 7

DM sort of freaks me out these days. I get a lot of comments, on really the most inane and mediocre workouts. I appreciate the unconditional support though.

xpost: The metrics suck overall on DM.

haha yes they dont even know when two days ago is

seems p jankey overall - like it imports the bare minimum data via garmin when it could be populating so many fascinating fields - could see it developing into something good tho

The stats are more of an afterthought. They are really just going for a facebook feel.

My runningahead.com log:

facebook + stats would be awesome tho - this shit is making my runs look weak by leaving out the elevation data!

they should have some sort of map my run type functionality too

shiiiiiiii -... that looks awesome

Snow and ice is melting here today. It's glorious. And tomorrow it may hit 40. It may be the best 9 miles of my life.

yah, snow looks incredible. kinda forgot about daily mile, just added u

Going to be nice and warm in the coming week, looking forward to getting 20+ miles in. Didn't feel like running today, but the weather was gorgeous so I hiked 15 miles. Which hurts a lot more than running 13 miles, but is super relaxing.

ice cr?m that is a badass mothafuckin howling dog at pic #3

ha yes that dog was funny, v intent on moving us along, theres horses too if u look close

im doing that run again in a couple hours http://connect.garmin.com/activity/67008685

9 miles, 47 degrees. Longest run since my marathon, felt pretty good.

lots of puddlejumping today!
is it really 47 degrees in chicago today? i knew it was warmer than 35, but didn't check the actual temp

great run today, though! <-- excessive !! i know, but after the last few weeks, which have been 2x/week slothfests, this feels like a gift

Ugh, still out of action. About to go for my 10-minute excuse for a run.

good going jeff, lechera, etc.

i haven't ventured out since my 50 miler... still coasting on endorphins :)

must run soon!
