RUN STREAK – DAY 135

Boulderthon Half Marathon – 1:40:36

New PR by over 10 minutes.

I came into this race chasing 1:40.

Got it.

Yesterday I said it was time to see what the consistency built.

Turns out, quite a bit.

RUN STREAK – DAY 120

5K on an airport runway. That was a first.

Official time: 20:55.

Really wanted to break 21 today. Got it by five seconds. (Even though the course was a little short 🙃)

Pretty hard to beat racing into the sunrise with planes flying overhead.

Officially at the point in life where voluntarily running 13.1 miles seemed like a good use of a Sunday morning.

Think I’ll do it again sometime.

Running the new sunglasses today.

Three easy miles at 8:22, so the early data is pretty conclusive: they definitely make me run faster.

Could be the training. Could be the weather. But I think we all know it’s the sunglasses.

Peer review pending.

RUN STREAK – DAY 155
Zone 2 Long Run • 8.01 mi • 8:39/mi

39° this morning and I think we’ve officially entered my favorite part of running season.

The leaves changing are great, but there’s something even better about finally feeling all those summer miles show up. Same effort starts producing a little more pace. Heart rate settles down. Running just feels easier.

All those hot summer runs were building something, even when it didn’t always feel like it.

Now the weather is finally letting me see it.

RUN STREAK – DAY 148
Zone 2 Long Run • 6.01 mi • 8:36/mi

Starting to feel like I’m actually training again.

Six easy miles this morning and slowly ramping the mileage back up after Boulderthon. For now, the plan is pretty simple: build back toward 30–35 miles a week, get consistent with strength training, and start laying a better base for whatever I decide to take on next year.

No big race block yet. Just stacking miles and getting stronger.

I kept waiting for some obvious point where I suddenly felt faster.

That never really happened.

It was mostly just a lot of normal weeks stacked together, and then race day finally showed me what had changed. by @whoistyler

RUN STREAK – DAY 138
Recovery • 1.08 mi • 9:10/mi

Three days later and I’m still buzzing from Boulderthon.

This week is basically just enough running to keep the streak alive while the legs keep recovering. Mentally, I’m still replaying Sunday.

1:40:36. New PR by over 10 minutes. Still pretty wild to think about.

I don’t think I’m done talking about this one yet.

RUN STREAK – DAY 135

Boulderthon Half Marathon
13.1 mi • 1:40:36 • 7:41/mi

Looking back at a little bit of what Boulderthon looked like from my end.

Spent the summer chasing 1:40. Finished in 1:40:36 and took more than 10 minutes off my half marathon PR.

Still pretty fun watching this one back.

Time to see what the consistency built.

RUN STREAK – DAY 132
2.51 mi • 8:30/mi

Last little bit of work before Boulderthon.

Easy miles with a few strides at the end to keep the legs moving. Nothing left to build now.

Three days.

RUN STREAK – DAY 130
4.02 mi • 8:32/mi

Five days until Boulderthon.

At this point, the hardest part of tapering might be convincing myself that I don’t need to run faster just because my legs feel good.

So yeah, I’m checking my watch a lot.
