queer corner

During the absence of our rockstar erstwhile sprinter turned marathoner, this corner will discuss miscalaneous running related items.

Yesterday went to the track to do a 5k time trial. Was planning to hit 24 min. After 4 rounds time was 7 min 60s. So decided to do reps. Next after 300m walk recovery, did 1200m in 5m 39 sec. Bit faster.

Saw a young 13 yr girl being trained by her coach under the watchful dyes of her father. She was doing 100m reps. A couple of 18 yr old boys ran one of the reps. An excellent sprinter Aldo ran, starting from 110m mark.

By the time I approaachrd them, the girl had finished her session. So the sprinter graciously agreed to “race” me, with both of us starting at 100m mark. The guy’s start was so explosive. Never seen anything like that in the lane next to me. I just gave up. That’s how intimidating it felt.

The guy is 23 yrs, and is training for 200m Olympics. Will be following his career.

Re: queer corner

Hey queer

Timed a 5k. Ducked. 29 m 4 sec! Got my work cutout. ( I don't think I ran 100%. But still very slow).

Will do 800m reps today.

Re: queer corner

Today's wworkout more of the same. Did another 5K. This time 27 min 1 sec. Baby steps.

While warming up, a guy my age, who was walking with his wife, gave me a hard time about the "race". All in fun.

Re: queer corner

Aug 20. Did some 100 m reps. Got bored with 5k runs. Increased speed as reps progressed. Second last at 17.02. Last 17.25.

Today day off. Will bike indoors. Daytime walked to and from meeting total abt 1.2 miles.

Re: queer corner

Took two days off. Did 4 milesxin 37 m 36 sec. Pathetic. Don't know what is wrong. Just don't have stamina.

Re: queer corner

Was aggressive mood today. Wanted to do 25 min 5k. After 4 rounds at exactly 8 min, reaalized couldn't continue for 8.5 more rounds at this pace. So decided to make today's workiut a Mike repatriate with 400m walk in betwen.

2nd mile 7m 38.72 sec
3rd mile 7m 57 sec.

I will take that. More importantly, the confidence is back.

All queer fans and critics alike are invited to post their daily workouts here.

Re: queer corner


As a beginner I have a lot of questions though. Should I just open another thread instead of derailing this one?

Re: queer corner

Please do not worry about derailing. Ask whatever questions you have. If anyone knows the answer, we will be happy to provide you with it.

This thread belongs to everyone, not just OP. I dont believe in rigid structures when it comes to posting. We are here to learn, and have some fun along the way. Meant to be collegial and congenial.

So no worries!
