Decided to do a peak workout today. 2x4 mile with 2:00 recovery, 13.1 miles total. Felt amazing and crushed the workout - third fastest half marathon - averaged maybe 7/mile or a little quicker on the intervals :lol:
Trying to determine my A and B goals for the race on 1/24. Last year on not nearly as good of a training block and no sleep the night before I ran 1:37:11. Watch says I can go 1:33. Might set my sights on 1:32:59 and see what happens :dunno:

We have a double Bob and I push my 2.5yo twins in it, sometimes up to 10k distance. Trick for me was unlocking the front wheel, even though you’re not supposed to. My heart rate jumps a little, but I can usually maintain a 9/mile pace easily. I ran the New Orleans Turkey Day 5 miler in 44 minutes with it, would’ve been faster if not for all the weaving around walkers :lol:

Maybe. I mostly do strength classes. On an 89 week activity streak currently.

FB is inundated with barely used treadmills. Def check there. A lot of high end Norditracks for bargain prices.

Think it’s pretty common. Try running with a neck gaiter covering your nose and mouth. Helps warm the air and prevents coughing/wheezing.

4 weeks out from my HM, been holding around 40 miles per week, will try to push for more the next couple. Anyone got some training tips as far as workouts and peak mileage? Can’t decide if I should do a hard long run workout this week or next or if it even matters.

Yeah the course is very disappointing. It’s THE New Orleans Marathon and half of it is out and back on the Lakefront…awful.
Outside of the CCC and the Saints 5k the city seems hesitant to do any races downtown or in the Quarter. Really sucks and huge missed opportunity. I’m also not sure why, it’s not like they don’t have the resources…we do it for Mardi Gras for 2.5 weeks. My guess is it can be done but is prohibitively expensive for the race promoters.

Any “ultra” in the metro area doesn’t draw a crowd plus being on the Northshore for a sort of gimmicky race won’t get anyone super competitive out there.

Went once before a show at the Saenger. Dont think we ordered a ton, but the food was fine. Not memorable in a good or bad way, I’d go back.

Mr Mao is a good shout too. Fun spot, creative food and drink.
Another spot which I am curious to try is Kira. Just opened where Barcadia used to be. The head chef helped get the current iteration of Emeril’s off the ground. Only question is the owner/proprietor - not the most well liked or known for restaurants with excellent food.
Oh, and Eviva…really would like to make it there soon. Have heard good things just don’t like that part of town.

Zasu wouldn’t be a bad choice. I’ll throw out Kingsway.

They are $849 right now which is cheaper than some inferior competitors. The Pepins are more expensive but are maybe more robust but also have a cage.
$849 for the MX is honestly a good deal for what you get.

Today’s run put me over 1,000 miles on the year for the first time. Have been at 35+ miles per week for a couple months now and surprisingly feel good.
Also, I saw Varsity Sports announced there will be a New Orleans Marathon and Half Marathon next November. Really happy to have an official event back, though the route leaves a little to be desired. They showed the HM route going a little through City Park and then out and back on the Lakefront. Guessing it’s just a lot easier to close down those roads vs anything Downtown or on St Charles.

The new ones are all metal internals I believe.

I’m with you. These are on my shortlist when I decide to upgrade from my Corefitness dumbbells. They look promising.

Also, @ks, looks like Adidas is doing a Terrex version of the Evo SL. Announced at TRE, due out next year.

Where did you find great deal on adi pro 4? Cheaper than $150 on adidas site?
Adidas AP4 50% off at Shop Simon. Legit website, full size run. Have at it.

Edit: they also have the pink/white and white/teal AP4’s, Boston 13, Boston 12, SL2, and some Ultraboost 5. All 50% off. Can’t go wrong with any of those for 50% off. Hell, grab one of each and you can have a sweet rotation for a training block :lol:
Have also seen a bunch of BNIB pairs on Reddit for $135 shipped. Outlets must be loaded with inventory.

Omg I cannot I cannot I cannot. I must remind myself there will always be another sale. Phew.

That's a great sale, but how do I know if I need these? Are they only for people who don't suck at running? Race day? Low miles 3x/week?
It’s a lot of people’s shoe of the year. Literally can do everything except maybe go 10+ miles comfortably…unless you are a strong runner. Funny too, every time Believe In The Run talks about the Evo SL, they mention Adidas did not design it to be a running shoe originally. Same for Asics and the Novablast. Two of the best running shoes to come out in the past 5 years.
