It has just been a busy week. <br /><br />PPC - well, I responded in email, but I will respond to you also in the next post. <br /><br />sea legs girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782712411873234071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-18929382761918116882012-08-30T02:21:20.403+02:002012-08-30T02:21:20.403+02:00I'll de-lurk and say that I am so impressed wi...I'll de-lurk and say that I am so impressed with that PR! That is amazingly fast and a real testament to the value of the speed work you've talked about (in addition to your overall commitment to running). Just curious - has revamping your diet made running fast feel at all/much different? I have followed your story for a long time now and have always wondered how you could physically run so much and so fast (I'll usually be STARVING later in the day after running and I am not speedy at all). Do you notice much of a difference in energy these days?<br /><br />In the spirit of de-lurking, I will also say that I think your views on pregnant running are really valuable and well-researched. Some might find it controversial, but it's refreshing to hear the view that is actually backed up by the data. No one jumps all over women who choose to be sedentary in their pregnancies despite the evidence against their choice and it's been frustrating to see some of the comments criticizing you for maintaining your exercise regimen.Liznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-26971518903887502132012-08-29T21:35:22.411+02:002012-08-29T21:35:22.411+02:00congrats! you know I'm illiterate about runni...congrats! you know I'm illiterate about running, but even I know that's smokin' fast!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06582340182176367822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-4229748129239386992012-08-27T16:58:27.620+02:002012-08-27T16:58:27.620+02:00p.s.

She was very out of breath but wanted to speed up. i told her I did not want to hit the first 1600 under 6 and that sje should just settle in. We slowed down a little to a 6:03 first 1600 and then we picked it up from there. <br /><br />She collapsed at the end, the way guys do after their lasr interval. It was great. <br /><br />Ana-Maria, I think a track is preferable to a road race, as they always seem to be a little off (even USATF certified courses can be a little off). Now, if it was an official record, you can't run with guys pacing you, of course.<br /><br />PPC, it really was perfect. And we have already talked about doing a 10000 in a few weeks.<br /><br />Steve, I yelled "this may be the fastest 5K you will ever run!", followed by some kind of "go for it". I mean, she is running 100 mile weeks, running a marathon or two a week, running intervals, doing an Ironman. She is in the shape of her life, but anything could happen. Maybe 18:29 will be her PR forever, so I wanted her to dig deep. She dug so deep that I don't think she can improve much, if at all, on it this season. Maybe with some more speed work nex year, but then she is risking injury etc. <br /><br />I just didn't want her to slow down on the last lap, if that race is what she will tell the grandkids about 30 years from now.<br /><br />We have a 6 hour race coming up. I am in real danger of being wifed.Fast Bastard - World's Fastest Hematologisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439674206797439620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-79089660757558573882012-08-26T19:21:23.076+02:002012-08-26T19:21:23.076+02:00It's the "fastest you will ever run"...It's the "fastest you will ever run" comment that struck a chord with me too; I'm guessing SR will have a different recollection of what he said.<br /><br />I can tell you that, at 28 beats per minute, you can actually feel your heart throw itself against the ribcage.

Ok, how much do I have to beg for the two of you to go repeat the exercise over 10 km in two weeks time??<br /><br />Anyway wonderful, congratulations... (but I respectfully disagree with SR that this will be the fastest you ever run 5 km in your life... if you want to run faster and plan to run faster, you will!)PiccolaPineConehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09520539255908849462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-33284623254532539272012-08-26T16:54:19.806+02:002012-08-26T16:54:19.806+02:00Great job!
