Not exactly 10 miles but this felt pretty damn good. Pace was really around the 7 min range because I did a cool down once I hit the 9 mile mark. |

I've been really increasing the distance. Slowly but steadily. I also was challenged to hit 100 miles within 28 days (doesn't seem too bad) here are the stats on my last two runs. |

Re: FFR Runners
Woah, awesome job, Mahou!
Ran at my Freshman/Sophomore invitational yesterday. Got 5th overall in both the 1600 and 3200. PR'd in the mile with 5:17. Didn't get my 3200 time though.

Nice new PR too. Just imagine what times you'll hit your junior year if you keep it up. You'll definitely break the 4 minute mark soon. Also, after training with my new trail shoes (new balance), it's about time that I'm the market for a flat. I'll be going to for a competitive 5k soon near the end of this month. Any suggestions? I really do not want to go with any barefoot shoes because I'm afraid I'll damage my feet. |

Re: FFR Runners
no suggestions from me, I'd like to hear input there as well haha. would love to start looking for some road races.
just got back from a run. still hovering in the 3-4 mile range for most of my runs, but I think I'm starting to feel comfortable enough where I could go 6+ without issues. it's been a long time since I've kept at it this consistently haha. I'm about to pick up a pair of trainers, and I think I'll use an amazon gift card I've had sitting around to buy a wristband thing for phones. I may or may not be able to get one of those fancy apps and post screenshots until a get a phone upgrade :p |

Are you trying to go for distance or are you shooting for times? Also, what kind of brand are you looking at? |

This run totally sucked. 25 mph winds and it blew against me most if the time. |

Re: FFR Runners
I feel like this is the appropriate place to share this anecdote:
My gf has been running for about 2 years now. She did her first half-marathon last October and she's looking to do her first full marathon this October. She has been running about 40 miles/week until recently. About a month ago she started complaining that her runs were getting harder and she felt tired all the time. More recently, she said she would get lightheaded just from walking up stairs. In workouts, she would stop upwards of four times in a mile even though a few weeks ago she was running 10+ miles no problem. She did her research and decided to get a blood test. Her results came back today and were astounding. Normal ferritin levels in women range from 12-150 ng/mL. Her level was 2 ng/mL. Her blood pressure was 104/36. She is severely anemic and now has to take iron supplements for three months. It's crazy just to think about though; she said she felt like every day was leg day. If she wasn't getting enough oxygen during her runs, it must literally have felt like sprinting 400s all the time. Anyway moral of the story is know your body and rest when you need it. No sense pounding your head against the wall! |

Re: FFR Runners
I kind of had the same issue before in high school.
But yeah it is weird because everyone's body is very different. I had to take magnesium for awhile to solve my issue. Last edited by Mahou; 05-8-2014 at 11:30 AM.. |

You'd be surprised if you stay consistent then you actually get faster pretty quick. Since I've been putting so many miles down, I have to start taking a few supplements including protein because I'm starting to get a lot of lactate acid buildup. |

Re: FFR Runners
took a couple days off, back at it. really nice, except my stomach was telling me to stop toward the end of my run today. might need to eat more (or maybe just better) food.
oh yeah the shoes: http://shop.reebok.com/us/product/me...zrfZdyZ1z12rcl except mine are red and stuff. $60 on sale where I bought em. no idea if these would be advised for people who run beyond a pretty casual level, but they're treating me well so far. |

Re: FFR Runners
I love it when things like this happen. :) I got faster, and I have a better endurance now. Hopefully with some more training, I'll be able to do a full marathon within 4 to 5 months. Here are a couple of runs.

Re: FFR Runners
Ran a 5K in November 2013 then again in January 2014. Running a 5K (Fun Run) later this month. I run 5Ks nearly every time I go to the gym.
