EZ 5 for the longest recovery run this week. Slow pace because it’s kinda warm and humid.

I’m not ignoring my RPE/HR anymore and dying. Spectacularly. 🥵💀

The Dizzy Goat 12 hr race. On Summer Solstice Day. 7 am to 7 pm.

Hot & humid & windy af 🥵; Feelz temp of 104F (40C).

I’m smiling because I’m done with 14 loops at 3.14ish miles/loop. And a total of 6804ft up (& down) vert.

Inside, I’m dead💀☠️💀

Less dead now

Last Tempo run (1x10 min) before the 12 hour Dizzy Goat race on Saturday.

It’s supposed to feel like 100F by mid-day. I’m so excited 💁🏻‍♂️🥵

50k LSD trail run today.

It was a long day up & down the “gently rolling hills” of western Iowa.

Deets for those who want to know.

And a new trail! That was an exciting run down it! Until I came back up it 7.5 hrs later 🥵.

Easy 6 miles this morinng & dodging the rain showers.

Not like dodging a dodge ball during the late 1970s PE though 💁🏻‍♂️.

12 at Hitchcock with 2441 ft of vert. The books wanted 25 but on the downside of day 3 from a head cold & funky OTC meds, I had to negotiate hard with my body.

It’s still a win!

Volunteering at the Nebraska Classic 50k. It was interesting to be on this side of the race. And, it felt good to give back to the running community!

I need the grass to grow taller so I can’t see the sign anymore.

And make a right turn.

Post-marathon recovery run for an easy 3 miles. Everything seems to be back in order for my front hammies, hammy hammies, & calf hammies.

Lincoln Marathon!

Was shooting for 4:00:00 and juuuuuuust missed it.

I’m not sure what happened and that’s racing. There will be other races where I can try and improve my performance.

The most important thing to me is I finished! 😎

Marathon training workout. Hard. I panted.

For the junkies:

Warm up with 2 miles. Dynamic stretches. 4x100 m accelerations with 30 seconds active rest.
4x200 m accelerations with 1 minute rest. 6x1 mile at marathon pace (just above your AeT) with 3 minutes jog/walk in between.
2 mile cooldown.

12 windy miles for medium Long Run for the week.

New training block starts next week for a marathon - it’ll be the first one since … huh; 2020 😳

I mean, purposely stopping at 26.2 miles instead of running through it to finish an ultra.

3 mile recovery run this morning. DOMS were definitely hitting my legs and sitting in my Jeep driving home the past 2 days didn’t help.

Sierra Prieta 50k Fatass race.

I won First Blood with my epic fall on the rocks with a bloody knee & palm.

@danakw.bsky.social still kicked my ass
