Anyone here tried this new thing called "jogging" ?

25 miles run, over.  First twenty were good....I was reserved the first ten and the next ten I was at least within a minute of desired pace every mile....and then I fell off, big time.  Felt like someone tightened up everything in my legs, especially around my knees, and no matter what I tried I could not loosen up.  Added two mins a miles dragging ass to the finish.  .   
Oh well.  All downhill from here, but I pretty much feel like I was in a car wreck.  
Very happy to be done with that - now I have the rest of the weekend to be a baby about it. 

Good luck today!
Hope you scored great seats and enjoyed your run.

Nice!  How is the Covid hangover - anything still with you?
Did that girls all stay safe/without it?

Hope you feel better soon and good news on your gals.

I'm still getting tired tbh. My daily work life is starting to feel normal again so I think it's just a case of building back with running. It felt tough today though! 😔

Good news is my ladies stayed negative so that was great.

I have no training until the end of December so I have time to just ease back in. 

It is great you are starting to ease yourself back into running. It will come back. Just don’t overdo it. That is awesome that your wife and daughter didn’t get Covid. I hope you start to get all of your energy back soon. 

Sorry I keep disappearing, been really hit and miss online lately. 

I'm gearing up for my first Half Marathon next month (I've not run any races since high school track 27 years ago)

Training is going well, following a formal plan this time (seems to be keeping me injury free). I'm hoping for a sub 1:30 in the race (I've run 1:34 and 1:36 on my last 2 tempo runs). 

I then plan on my first Marathon in April, my goal will be sub 3 hours, we'll see how that goes.

I hope everyone is doing well.

Great speeds, way faster than I can go.
Had a 330 AM wake up and run this morning....had a meeting at 7 that was far away so I had to get the run in, cool off, shower, and drive over an hour.
I was exhausted by 930 am when I returned home.

You are motivated. I have a 9am meeting tomorrow, which is when I usually run. Instead of getting up earlier and running, I am going to run on Thursday instead. Thursday is usually my yoga day, but I will go to a yoga class on Wednesday night. If I were like you, I wouldn't have to rearrange anything. I would just get up earlier. But I know myself too well for that

How were your times in high school?
If you are running like this at 45, I'm guessing you were pretty damn fast.

I mostly ran 400 and 800, 400 was 55-57 seconds,  8:00 was 2:05. I ran the mile once at a meet and did it in 4:59. My best friend growing up ran high 40's in the 400, he was crazy fast

You have to do what works for you. Luckily since I've been working from home for almost 10 years now I am generally flexible if something comes up with my run. I won't get up at 3:30 to run though. 

I have been working at home for over 10 years as well. I usually don’t have much interference with my run days. But I have a Zoom meeting that I can’t get out of. It was the only time that worked for all of us. So….

By the way, good luck with the half training. You have some impressive times.
