Heel striking led to alot of hip discomfort, mainly trochanteric bursitis. My new no-heelstrike running form means no new aggravation to the hips, although I do have a small amount of discomfort from prior injury/aggravation.

chassis wroteI used to be an extreme heel striker too....until an achilles tendon tear from over use/over training. Spent 6 months learning how to run differently.....that wasn't easyMy NB 1080s are 6mm drop. I was a former extreme heel striker and have retrained myself to be a mid-forefoot striker.

My quads hurt going down steps . . .
Found it: 32:25 last year.
I burn more calories playing pickleball than I do when running! One pickleball league ended so will probably replace that with a run. I train approximately every other day.
Daily training wears me down and I feel like my body doesn't recharge properly. My brother the marathoner says he avoids daily training whenever possible.
Went down at an angle so outside of right knee completely skinned, right hand scraped and shoulder took a hit.
Nothing like doing that and having to continue the run cause you're too far away lol
Good training this morning for keeping my mind on the PATH and not anything else
chassis wroteWife found out and now she's requested when I run that early to wear my chest harness so I can carry my phone for emergencies LOL.Glad that you were healthy enough to post about it!
Oddly enough...same run yesterday morning....run up on a dead deer 3 feet away from me and I didn't even see it until I was right up on it.....my led running harness clearly isn't enough for dark mornings...need a flashlight
Might be going back to my NB 880s.
And I don't know if its because of the record participants this year, but its probably me being in the thick of the crowd and not slightly ahead like last year. The water stations were so crowded and were short on water cups I had to stand still a couple times just waiting for water.

I don't run distance but have a strong preference for cooler, drier and less windy conditions.2nd Half-Marathon. 20 mins slower than last year, my training really suffered from all the rain. I was surprised how slow my pace was going from 9:50/mi last year to 11:31/mi.

chassis wroteMy training runs happen at noon/afternoon so running in the morning was fantastic. Last year was a little bit cooler and the sun came out. This year was overcast, started raining right as I finished. And I guess it was more humid but I didn't feel like it was a major factor to my performance. I didn't even stop to think about the humidity until I started reading news articles and people were commenting on it.Was the weather (wind, temperature, humidity) within your preferred range?

chassis wrotethis is me....very early morning so as chilly as I can get it...I hate running in humidity and heat.Was the weather (wind, temperature, humidity) within your preferred range? I don't run distance but have a strong preference for cooler, drier and less windy conditions.
Ground contact time was 266ms. I like to focus on that metric because it makes sense to me.
Weather is warming up here finally which means shorts, t-shirt and sometimes no shirt! This morning temp was mid-60s, no wind and some humidity. Lots of sweat at the end of the run!
Love hearing owls, seeing deer and wildlife in general at that hour - except skunk...fart squirrels are no bueno in the dark
10:34/mi pace, not great but I am not pushing myself and don't want to push myself. I am in a reasonable fitness condition at the moment and am enjoying it.
swcrow wroteAh that's unfortunate it didn't work for you. I retired my Hokas after that Half-Marathon and started using some Torin 8s. I like them, my pace seems to have increased a decent amount with them. Not sure if I was just feeling better on those days. About 12 miles on them and I'm sticking with it.0430 3.5 mile run….switched back to the NB 880s and had zero shin muscle issues…looks like I’m permanently moving back to the 880s and ditching the Altras.
I remember when I first transitioned to zero drop my calves were burning like crazy but its the norm for me now.
Here's today's run. Missed my 5k pb by 4 seconds, oof.
