Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Anyone want to do a 5k, 10k or Half Marathon in Trinidad?
It will be held on November 22, 2014, starting at 0800.
This should be enough time to be able to do a Couch 2 5k training program.
PM me for more info.

Yeah, that'll do it.Originally Posted by Irving

Holy hell, a 5 year-old just ran a 5k in 24:08!

Five-year-old James Reed ran 24:08 at the Hoofin’ for Habitat 5K October 18 in Duluth, Georgia, to set a pending single-age world record by a whopping two minutes and nine seconds. In the same race, his sister Lauren set a pending Georgia state record for 9-year-olds, breaking the 15-year-old record by one minute, nine seconds, and running 20:52.
Not only is that faster than me, but my dog literally could not do this, as she is done by 3k. Simply amazing.

Wanted to report that I've been successful on getting the dog to run a 5k straight now. I figured out that she was so excited in the beginning that she was pulling and wearing herself out in the first click. Once I can get her calmed down and next to me, she can troop along for the full distance just fine. I have more work to do with her as she tends to ruin my first 1k lap time, and her weaving all over the sidewalk doesn't help much for the rest of the run either. While I'll run without her if I'm trying to break my personal record, we run well enough together that for most runs she is just fine.
Speaking of records, my fastest ever 5k (I've got records back into 2012) is 26:00. I've run a 26:03 and a 26:04 this year. The lower time I did by accident and had no idea I was that close. I'll make sure to beat it this year!

Nice!

So I've been running to my workout .75 mi, at an easy pace, then blasting home .75 mi at a pace much faster than I'm used to. I switched up the route so I can actually do a full mile there and back. The difference in time is usually around 1 minute faster on the way back when I'm really trying.
Well today I had the bright idea of doing the easy run there at the .75 mi distance, and going the full 1 mi distance back, while still trying to run a negative split. Turns out this is a very difficult thing for me to do, but glad I still tried it. My pace on the way back was still 1 min/mi faster, but I wasn't even close to matching the short run time, let alone beating it. I think I'll keep trying this, and see if I can get the times to be under a minute in difference.

Well, you're running 1/3 farther on such a short distance, so that is tough to negative split.
Are you running intervals? That's basically what you are teetering into. $0.02
I must confess after my last marathon (Mid-Sept), I've run all of 6 miles in two 3 miles sessions. There are some good reasons for this, but I'm so close on a major milestone for the year, but I'm not even interested.
Cycling has gone way up since then, though.

No intervals, I'm using these negative split runs in lieu of that. My other running consists of somewhat fast 5k's and relaxed 10k's. Those short runs are to and from crossfit type of workout. Those workouts have really helped running by providing anaerobic workouts. It has been working too, because my relaxed runs keep getting faster as baseline average pace keeps increasing.

That's working.

I just have surgery for a very deviated septum. I'm excited to start trying to do some distance running once it heals up. Ive always had trouble breathing even though I was fairly fit and a non-smoker. Could never understand it so I'm hoping this will allow me to do 3-5 mile runs comfortably at some point.
