The "Official" Runners thread...

I have one word for that, it starts with an F

 

I ran a beer mile today. Way harder than expected, my actual mile was bout a 6:30 on the track but the beer drinking part of it had me finish in 11:09. I have no idea how the record is a 4:57 mile doing this.

 

gotta open the throat

 

Too cold, both the beer and the temps outside. The winner did 7 flat. It was a lot of fun, really good group of people having good clean fun!

 

i sounds like lots of fun! maybe ill do one with near beer before i leave in three weeks! haha

 

Ah, near beer, that brings back memories of being deployed.

 

haha ive spent at least half of the last three years out here... the near beer is a coping mechanism now haha

 

Beer mile=VOMIT lol

 

Well, at least most people are puking bud. Awful whether you puke it or not...

 

Only one person puked. Lot's didn't even finish!

Anyone else noticed on Strava that it's not registering segments? I run the same route every Sunday and hit a segment on the way back, and it's only ever registered it one time!

 

ive noticed some segments disappearing, reappearing, or in some cases, changing! but i havent paid much attention to which ones im actually registering.

but im still fumbling my way around that thing.

 

Ok, so it's not just me at least. I am also trying to figure it out still and I have been on it for a year or more, just not active.

 

I think anyone can change them. I had a KOM for cycling on a hill climb near my house. I knocked a friend out of first on it. He was pissed. He said he shorten the segment and then he was first. Btw he is a far better rider than I.

Also some times if you dont hit the right start point it wont capture it.

When looking at the segment change it from "map" view to Sat. you can zoom in better and find the start point.

 

Ugh, I haven't run since Friday, no good reason either, just feeling lazy! You guys look like you are getting in some good regular runs in.

 

i leave here in about a week... we will see how consistent i am when i get home! im hoping to continue 30-35mi weeks

 

I've already broke out the running snowshoes- a little early for my liking, running in snow is like running in sand-except it's cold

 

I bet you will be happy to be home! If you enjoy it, you will likely keep it up, at least I would think that way?

I like regular snowshoes and didn't even know they made ones for running. I just run in the snow in my trail running shoes, no cleats or any of that other stuff. Might have to look into renting a pair to try out for the fun of it, I am always up for something new.

 

Gosh, ever since it got cold here I've been incredibly inconsistent. Not used to these midwest winters.

 

I run in the snow until it gets to about 6" or so, then it's easier on shoes- the running ones are small/narrow and you can actually run in them-albeit not overly fast

often if I hit the same trails a couple of times w/ my snowshoes, I can pack the trail down enough I can go back to running shoes

 

My favorite time of year to run is when it's cold, and snowy! Luckily there are always areas to run around here no matter how much snowfall. It's snowing right now, not hard though, I am looking forward to a run in a few hours.
