Anyone Interested in Weekly Run Only Thread?

Hasan Baydoun and I have been PMing about running and he suggested we start a weekly run-only thread.  I am doing the Daniels 5k/10k Program that our vDot system is based on through the end of the year until January OS starts.  I know there are a few folks marathon, half marathon and ultra training right now.  May also help folks who are waiting for their OS to start keep motivated?

We have done this in the past and it seems to have died off.

Anyhoo, if you are interested please respond to this post.

Thanks.

John

    I'm in! I'll be running for the first time since IMWI tonight.
    Plans for off-season: Really, really focus on improving my run form. Drills, slow ramping of running in VFF's, continue with stretching/foam rollering/yoga.
    Also, I need to practice running and hopping over cyclocross barriers...I look like a pregnant hippo trying to do hurdles. image

     John, I am in the same boat, same plan, same duration, same OS as you. You bet I am interested. Count me in.

    On a separate note, when you get a chance, either a PM or different thread, let me know what are you doing with your bike training.

    Currently doing modified Daniels base as I'm running "easy" but doing it every day. Today(its still Tues in HI) was day 12 in a row. Intend to do Nov OS so I can get at least 6 weeks in per Daniels saying 6 weeks before changing. Goal is a half marathon in UT or on Maui in January.

    Hi, I'm just starting OS next week, but want to run a half marathon end of november. I need to get running!

     Sounds like a good idea.  I won't hit the OS until Jan and I want to get some miles in to see if my knee can handle it.  So my plan is run 5xs a week with lower easy miles and see if I can build up.  My running suffered some this year because I stuck with only 2xs a week and they were intervals mostly and that takes its toll.  So I figure if I can get some miles in, hopefully the knee will adapt and I can do intervals in the OS along with some runs for a bigger improvement on the run.

    John, I would love a run only thread. I wanted to spend this fall improving my run, planning on the Phily half in Nov and Jan OS.

    In! One of P's tips to one of the members planning a run focus was eo 'think like a runner.' Seems like it would be a good idea to have a thread to do that!

    I'd like that! I'm gonna be primarily a runner next year and this could be a huge help! Want to stay motivated through October, do Nov OS, and then put my head down and RUN!
