L7D2 8:34:48 with 60 sec breaks between rounds. I love the breaks.

Supposed to be doing L7D3 today. I do believe I will fail miserably and I am procrastinating.

Now you need to work

I'm amazed you had the nerve to post such an awful time on these illustrious boards

No need to be embarrassed as, quite frankly, you should be an inspiration for other people and the levels we all hope to reach.

Now back to work, and if you're not under 6mins next week there'll be trouble...

Your right Don, I am quite upset with posting such times on a board of such heroes as yourself....sigh. I will work harder at becoming more of an inspiration.

On a serious note I do believe I will be on L7 for awhile....Dang that 40/80/80 is killer.

L7D1 - 22 rounds. Maybe I will just do day 1 for a while and see what happens or maybe D2. I was surprised that my legs felt as good as they did since I did a 16 mile run yesterday and I was sure I was going to pay for it today.

Yup, L3 - I'm such a hero!

I've been off SF for a while, doing British Military Fitness to build up a core level of fitness.

My plan is to stick with BMF to Christmas and then bring SF back in to my routine.

After that, L7 here I come...

I will look up that "BMF". I am always experimenting with new stuff. I will look forward to seeing you back.

Just did a 7 mile run and L7D2 5 rounds 8:34. Now I think I will shower and die. Have a great night...LOL.

L7 D1 (again) 22 rounds. L7 is a killer.

I did an 18 mile run yesterday: Do you think that would effect the outcome of this?

Just out of interest, what time did you do your 18 miles in?

I'm gradually building up distance after years of inactivity but my body now seems to have a set 8min/mile rate which I'm finding frustrating!

If you promise not to tell it was 3:29. I am not fast at all and sometimes hate to use "run", but sounds so much better then "jog"...

. I am doing the Las Vegas Marathon Dec 6 so I am trying to make sure I get through it without a heart attack

Quite frankly, the fact that you can run 18 miles is pretty awesome so you won't hear any mocking from me! I suspect when you come to do the marathon you'll find yourself going a lot faster as you'll be buoyed along by crowds/other runners etc.

And you definitely get to call yourself a "runner"! (It's weird, there's definitely a point when you go from being a "jogger" to a "runner".)
