part of the reason I have signed on, (figuratively) for the 50 state challenge. there are a lot of awesome places/races around the u.s.

I got into Berlin, with hotel included, for like 2000. So not sure why Boston should be 10000+. I wasn't running for charity, I was running for a tour operator.

London, Boston, Tokyo, and even New York hard to get into. Chicago loltastic and that's why I am running Chicago.

I haven't looked at it for some time, but you could go to the baa website, charity link, and look it up. you are supposed to raise those amounts for charity or else you have to pay the difference. I personally would never ask someone to donate so I could run boston again.

also Berlin, Chicago, and I think New York have lottery drawings, Boston is more about qualifying with plenty of exceptions I would assume.

I tried the berlin lottery the last three years without success.

Good luck with your qualifying for the Boston Loco.

We have a few races up here in some beautiful areas. Just need to pick the right location as some of the mountain races can be deadly.

If you do meet a grizzly, stand tall, stay calm and slowly reach for your bear spray.

I would think that plus my lifting would keep me alive. Hoisted 240lbs today on the deadlift.

When you TB dl are you using high or low handles? What's your feeling on the relative value compared to conventional BB?
Faster than Ever: Loco runs a sub5 Mile Quote

High handles of course. My anthropometry shows that at 8.75" off the floor (standard height for deadlift), my optimum hip position is too high for my arm length. However, if I lower my hips then I now have an inefficient lift because I was literally born to deadlift with higher hips. So high handles on the trap bar solves this. Now I can keep my hips at their optimum position and I am able to reach the bar. I was born to deadlift at around 11" off the floor. It is what it is.

Unfortunately I travel a bunch so don't really have access to a trap bar. But still though, I can do it off blocks or do RDL. I just slacked off big time when I took up running.

I wanted more but my long run is coming up and I blasted quads earlier. That's a massive difference in speed, hills are brutal. Downhill was fun.

4/14 W1D6 Mt Hood Marathon
Long run
14.3 miles 1:54:42 (8:01 per mile)
139 Avg heart rate

Wow, crushed it. Early bird catches the cool California weather. One of my greatest runs of all time. According to my polar running index top5 run of all time. If you adjust for my weight, probably my greatest run ever! I am back! It's fun to take the Ferrari engine out for a spin. My Bluetooth died halfway, and normally I love listening to music because it masks how hard my breathing is. Here, I ran 7 miles with no music and all I could hear was the Ferrari engine purring like a kitten at this easy pace.

But in horrible news, my archrival pokerron is a contemplating a return to marathons. He just dropped an 18:15 5K!!!!! WTF!!! That would officially be an S&F record, but fortunately he didn't log any of the training or the PR here on the forum. So obviously it doesn't count, but still disturbing. Hopefully he sticks to chasing mountain goats up in Scotland instead of road running.

Ran 39 miles last week. Feeling great. Excellent, I gave myself an A for the week. Follow a program based on science and look, results. I am shocked.

W2D1 Mt Hood Marathon
Recovery run 45 minutes @Zone 1
5 miles 45:00
Avg Heart Rate 130

Feeling awesome, it's all coming together. Last year I chalked up recovery runs to junk mileage. But after reading 80/20 by Fitzgerald it all makes sense.

You see, I am not fully recovered from yesterday's run. Yet, the brain learns to access different muscle cells. It teaches your body to run more efficiently. I could just feel it here, my legs were a bit heavy. But then I started using more glutes and the run was super easy and super enjoyable.

You can see that some of the same principles occur in strength training. For example Smolov, where there is no recovery one day. Or how about these new natty wonderkids who bench 5x a week. You make gains because of increased brain fitness AKA CNS improvements.

Still can't stop thinking about this pokerron 5K. Out of nowhere runs an 18:15 5K. That 5:56 a mile!!!

Thremp once had a dream to run one mile at 6:00. Pokerron just obliterated that, just dropped a huge load all over Thremp's dream.

Whatevers, doesn't count. Kid is probably all EPO'd out or weighs a buck twenty.

Is the whole "Didn't log, doesn't count" a joke like the heart thing? Asking for a friend.

No, that's for real. That's how we keep randoms from trying to take over.

Logging also weeds out the drug users. We know how natties make gains, very slowly. So when someone starts getting jacked on cable crossovers, they have to come clean that they are on the see bar, grow program.

Now it gets a little tough with regs who don't log, like yourself and nuclear. We can give you kudos, like nuclear's bodyweight press. But unfortunately, if it's not logged it's not whiteboard able. Nobody has a clue how you got there. Board members earn their respect by logging. Look at Kidcolin, has logged since day1 and look at the progress. Kid use to squat 115x5 and deadlift 135x5. REZPECT.

Now, EV does log everything. However, negative gainz since he got here. No respect.

How would you guys feel if I never logged and all of a sudden I ran a downhill marathon in 2:45, but was secretly all EPO'd out and weighed a buck thirty five? And I didn't mention any of those circumstances, just the 2:45? I would get respect, I don't deserve.

So Log or forever live in the shadows.

Seems very capricious and arbitrary. If someone is going to lie about the accomplishment they could just as easily lie in their log.

For example, with bolded you could log the whole training regimen and just leave out the EPO part and lie about your weight. It would just look like you're some sort of natty running savant.

I think logs feel more real because you can see the struggle, but a lack of log isn't enough for me to dismiss it.

You can carry a lie for a day but not for years, that's why logging so important to credibility.

I don't know how EPO works but it's probably only taken on race day. Because I log every day, you see my training results. This last month I logged a whole bunch of 9 minute miles. You would think I am one of the other running logs. But nope, logged a beauty this Sunday. First mile at a whopping 7:25 pace with zero lactate generation.

I also post race pics to show my still mass monster upperbody and screenshots of some of my runs on polar/strava. That's what makes it real.

Not some bullshiet, most likely roided up or on peptides/SARMS, bodyweight press from nuclear. That shiet is fake, he trains like shiet from the very little logging he does. Zero respect.

Holy ****ing Laugh Out Loud

For you to even remotely think there was 'assistance' involved is hilarious and speaks to how insecure you are. Especially since you have held onto the disbelief for one and a half f'n years.

136 actually

I'm sure you've said it somewhere, but what's your long-term goal for your marathon time? Just wondering whether I'm gonna have to get back on the road to make sure I stay top of 2p2 lolrunners leaderboard.

wat.

Destroyed by indoor heat. No joke, sweated 20x more than what I sweated on my 14 mile run on Sunday. I am going to do some sweat loss calculations in the future, the difference between 73 degrees and 58 degrees is ridonculous. I am estimating my marathon time is currently 3:10 in cool weather with flat course. But at 70 degrees it's about 3:30.

I might take front squat to rpe8 but not really serious about it. I should have trained it harder during the running off-season.

This guy got caught with his hand in the cookie jar (literally, he looks to be 40 pounds overweight for a 3hr marathoner).

That's why logging so important, shows the newbs proof of how it's done, step by step. Not this nuclear fake bullshiet press. Had to be SARMS or possibly fake rubber plates.
