Seems like you have some good planning down already. Have a plan for the plan for when stuff goes bad. 95% of the time something is gonna go bad, it may not stay bad but have a plan for when it does. This is where crew is very helpful if you have that available. I'll suggest that planning for a 1...

Aubie; how do you define diminishing returns of running anything over a half marathon? Baddest; why target on keeping heart rate under 140 for entire race? staying on your feet and moving becomes a mental game especially if you think you'll be out there up to 32hrs. Tunnel Hill is notorious...

Pedro 3:01 is nothing to be upset about but we know it isn't what you had in mind. Once you've thought about it can you maybe share some ideas on where your training may have been off or what race mishaps may have happened to that lead to a time slower than your goal / time you thought you were p...

re: Anyway to not get to Max HR when trying for a mile PR?

Posted by ks_nola on 4/26/24 at 3:55 pm

You should look into zone 2 training... how did you determine your max HR? what device are you using to measure you HR during your run? if its a wrist monitor most likely its 5-10% over actual HR. in reality unless your current mile PR is super slow you're gonna hit high hr to run a fast (er) ...

You can “train” however you think is best for you but none of us are anywhere near the top talent. Don’t think just because they stick to a 3 hr time limit they aren’t still putting in volume. Camille herring has talked about this a lot. Turns out she may run three time a day and still hits 80-100 m...

re: tax deduction question

Posted by ks_nola on 4/13/24 at 9:48 am

Not saying to allow net losses to be deducted. Just that a net zero at end of year ( amount won is equal to amount lost during the entire year) shouldn’t have an impact on overall tax owed. I gained nothing overall from the gambling wins as I lost equal amount but now owe more tax on my work income....

Heart rate gonna heart rate.especially at race pace. No reason 160 isn’t maintainable for marathon. What do you really think it should be? I think the better question is how did the pace for that distance feel? If it was fairly easy even with your running build up over the past few weeks then that ...

Agreed there are fundamental differences but in today’s society the stock market is treated as a casino by many and many have lost. Do you honestly think people should have to pay more taxes if caught in the situation I presented? I gained nothing but now owe more because I participated in a “vice”...

re: tax deduction question

Posted by ks_nola on 4/12/24 at 2:57 pm

Probably true but why. both have risk. gambling is with money that has already been taxed. the operator pays tax on money you lose. you can write off stock losses ($3k) per year without having any gains. so why should someone be penalized for gambling when overall it was a net loss for the year?...

Yes you should be able to offset loses with wins but not just loses alone. The tax situation for gambling is not really upfront and clear especially with all the new patrants who probably have no clue. When I've had a taxable wins I've never received any notification at that time nor was any tax wit...

Auburn I wouldn’t count on 15 miles a week at your zone 2 level to really keep your fitness level if planning this for multiple months. Or maybe it does by seems it would delay any progress you’ve made in past 6 months. Why wouldn’t you at minimum keep one day of tempo. Otherwise I think you might ...
