I usually also get pelted in the head by a bird while running by NU, but not yet, as this weather is not much like summer.Debbie @ healthy running momnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8637598219370719812.post-19723064450922354752013-07-03T09:56:13.658-05:002013-07-03T09:56:13.658-05:00I us endomondo. it has an interval program and I c...I us endomondo. it has an interval program and I create my own in it. pretty neat!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15169678747506683909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8637598219370719812.post-27686243892798052272013-07-02T16:12:04.165-05:002013-07-02T16:12:04.165-05:00I usually go to a track.

I'll look into some gel or thingy with caffeine for the harder runs. I tried having cold coffee ready, but i felt like I wasted too much time drinking it, and chugging it sounds like a bad plan if you know what i mean!<br /><br /><br />Effort feels the same!

If you don't have time for coffee before your weekday runs but think it might be helpful, maybe try a gel with caffeine in it? Just a thought. :) Above all, just listen to your body; if you're running at the right effort, you'll get all of the physiological benefits you need and you'll hopefully stay injury free.Beth @ Running w/ the Sunrisehttp://www.runningwiththesunrise.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8637598219370719812.post-16504486163185139332013-07-02T14:23:50.251-05:002013-07-02T14:23:50.251-05:00thanks! she takes after her mom!

Do you wear different shoes than for your long runs?<br /><br /><br />Ha ha!

I ...I think this was my last week off of intervals. I wanted to go to the track but I'm waiting for this special tape to get delivered (for my knee) so I figured I'd be cautious and skip one last time. I was bummed because it was beautiful today!<br /><br />Also, that wind heading north was crazy! It reminded me of the wind I feel along the lake in January. I was just happy that I decided to head north when I hit the lake path so that the wind was at my back during the second half of my run!Lindsaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8637598219370719812.post-39242040586658723582013-07-02T09:47:29.377-05:002013-07-02T09:47:29.377-05:00Your last thought is dead-on - this is the most &q...Your last thought is dead-on - this is the most "tan" I've ever been, and though I did go on vacation this year, all of the outdoor running is helping me not turn back into a pasty ghost. Yet.<br /><br /><br />And eiww to the gnats. I've been noticing them a lot lately, either on the lakefront or in forest preserves. There's seriously nothing more gross on a run than a bug flying up your nose/in your mouth.Annehttp://annereallyblogs.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8637598219370719812.post-13108536595724240062013-07-02T08:56:58.547-05:002013-07-02T08:56:58.547-05:00Man, that interval stuff sounds terrifying.

I was doing intervals on the treadmill and lengthened my stride...took about 10 weeks to get back to normal. <br /><br /><br />Last time I was trying to focus hard on fast turn over and keep short strides. Guess my right calf is still not as strong as I thought. I might try to mix it up next time, do one interval at my goal, next one a bit slower to see if i can feel if I did anything bad the last time.<br /><br /><br />Thanks for commenting!Declanhttp://stoprunningdad.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8637598219370719812.post-2372400758930957072013-07-02T08:08:35.193-05:002013-07-02T08:08:35.193-05:00Your Stride might be different when you do interva...Your Stride might be different when you do intervals. If you throw off the stride it can cause muscles to get tweaked that wouldn't normally. Pay very close attention to your stride when you do a normal run and then see if it changes when you do the intervals. <br /><br /><br /><br />Case and point... I one time tweaked a muscle with intervals because I lengthened my stride and didn't strike the ground the way I normally do...Jennifernoreply@blogger.com
