RUN with US on INSTAGRAM #NTrunning (NikeTalkRunning)

[kevenmayne]

Oh yeah, I also work the night before, probably won't get home until late and I have to be at the race at 6:30am.

This is just a disaster
I thought the race was Saturday when I signed up, when I wouldn't be working late. I will post the Nike+ post run screenshot here on Sunday. If I'm not feeling it I'll just drop out on whatever Mile I'm on and sign up for another one 2 months out to actually finish at a decent time

Good opportunity to try the run/walk method - run a mile, walk a minute.  I don't have the discipline for it, but I hear it works well.

 

[Meangene45]

Start in the back with the old people stay at that pace for a few miles and then pick it up.

Today's run with NRC...

 

[kevenmayne]

I got home at 1:30am and was up at 5:00am, woke up several times and thought there was no point in even attempted to run this with no training/sleep. I checked and saw I did less than 100 miles this year prior to this race, and 1 run since May when I signed up last week. That race day adrenaline is something else

I was feeling tired around mile 11, thought about stopping and walking since I figured making it that far was good in itself, but then said I'd keep going until my body was completely done. I felt very tired finishing, not training for this sucked . When I was training for my marathon last year, every long run that was longer than 13 miles didn't even have me exhausted and I was going to work afterwards, this felt almost like when I ran both marathons, haha.

I also just got confirmation this week I am officially a runner for the 2018 Tokyo marathon! It's in Feb and I have no idea how running in the winter is going to be, since I have never done it really...Ready to smash my PR of 3:40 though, without bonking the last mile this time around hopefully

Hey, I didn't know this was the race you were talking about - I was there, too!

Nice, ha. It was my first half marathon, but I thought it was a really good race. I didn't expect there to be that many spectators, any of the live bands, and all the aid stations. It felt like running the Chicago marathon honestly.
Are you from here?

No, I flew in from Boston. But, yeah, it was a fun race. I did the RnR Vegas last year, and I'm doing it again this year. I had bought a 3-pack of entries to do Vegas and Virginia Beach (on Labor Day), so I picked Chicago for my third since it was a relatively cheap flight. Very happy I did. I may put in for the lottery for the 2018 Chicago Marathon.

You definitely should! I plan on applying for it as well, since I really regret not applying for this year's race. I can't believe I wouldn't apply when I live here, smh. It blew my mind how big of a deal it was to the city, it was my first event and I had no idea it would be anywhere near what it was lol. When I ran Berlin it was great as well, but Chicago just feels way more exciting in my opinion.

This makes me think about Tokyo, I have no idea what to expect from it...haha. Has anyone here ever ran it?!

Anyone seen any reviews of the new $250 Nike running shoes?

In the market for a new running shoe.

Haven't ran in two months due to either oncoming stress fracture or tendinitis.

I got greedy - I had a link to buy it, but I was trying to figure out if a friend could use Swoosh. When we realized it wasn't happening, my size sold out. I will get them, though.

@KevinMayne - My only marathon has been Boston, but I'm sort of thinking about doing all the World Masters, since I've already done the "hard" one (hardest to get into, anyway). It's a long-term goal, to be sure.

 

[maverickdrinker]

First long run in 2 weeks. Had to let my tib post heal. Still a little sore today but hopefully manageable. Can't afford to take any more time off as the Chicago marathon is 8 weeks away...

 

[illustrayt]

Took 1.5 month break from running... Give me about two weeks for sub7 average runs

 

[nismot]

Did anyone else get a "NRC Member Unlock" for 30% off Apple Watch? Well, they got me at the right time and I'm expecting mine on Thursday. I'm hoping that with the customer feedback and updates it's had, I think average pace should be available now, which had been my big apprehension. So if that works well, and if the GPS isn't too far off... AND if I can pair to my Bluetooth headphones and run without my phone, it's a winner for me.

Trying to be consistent.

I was all over this deal, especially the fact that I got to apply over $100 in GC's to the amount. I'm more than happy that this is replacing my phone + arm band. sometimes it's bothersome to run with it

 

[MrKDes]

to my runners who participate in half or full marathon, what are some training programs that you can recommend? I ran a 1/2 earlier this year and my next 1/2 will be mid-November.

I was looking to start Intermediate 1 of this Hal Higdon training program http://www.halhigdon.com/training/64474/Half-Marathon-Walk-Training-Program-Intermediate-1

I run anywhere from 15-20 miles a week, so i thought this program would best suit me. Just curious what training regimen some of you have done for your race day events.

 

[rfx45]

that time of the year again for me, pretty much the only thing I run consistently every year

 

[nismot]

A bit quiet. Anyone signed up for big races? Full marathons or maybe ultras? My friend and I are turning 40 next year and might sign up for a 50-miler in Colorado. Should be fun.

As for current events, I just had my first run in some Pegasus 33s I found at Marshalls. Coming from Vomero 10s and Hoka Clifton 3s, these are a bit more responsive and they feel like less drop than the Vomeros, though I don't think it's significant. Maybe my 600-mile Vomeros have just lost some forefoot cushioning, causing more drop over time. Ether way, love the Pegs' responsiveness!

 

[goosh026]

It’s been a while between runs

 

[goosh026]

Anyone else find the current version of the Nike running up doesn’t upload direct to Instagram?

It has the option to, but when I select post, it comes up success but then freezes and I have to force the app to close.

 

[jhowlett]

Gonna be running a half in December. Today was my first run in a long time. Not too bad for myself, 3 miles at 10:25 pace and I'm heavier than my last runs. Which were at below 9 minute per. Gonna be using this training to force myself to get back into shape and drop some weight along the way

anyone use a running belt/pack to hold their keys/phone
not a big fan of the arm band or carrying in my hand
