You can pause on Runkeeper. That's assuming one doesn't mind manually toggling the screen to do so.
Chris - that mileage is damn impressive. I sense a solid performance at HB.
Oh and almost forgot... New distance record; 21 miles in 3:41:50. Yes, all on the treadmill.

Man 2k miles is nuts! I see you dipped in summer and really ramped it back up here in Fall/Winter. Good job man. Just today I hit 1250 miles on the year. After last year doing 385, so I'm proud of that. My goal was 1000. I got my run tomorrow yet to finish the year, probably around 1255.

Heck you can hit 2600 just by doing a 100miler every other weekend. You can fill out the other 400 easy enough.
On a serious note, I want to start biking and swimming next year so my run total will probably drop as well. Which is fine, more worried about overall fitness than just running.

I got into a rhythm, so I kept going until I started to struggle. Ended up doing ~10k at a damn good pace for me.
I only did ~2800 miles on my bike and some of you fuckers are running close to that.

I have a Detecto doctor's scale that came with my house. I weigh in once a week and write it on the calendar that I track all of my workouts on.

BTW--I'm pretty damn sore from that last run. I guess doubling my usual mileage has its ramifications
Thankfully, it's just aches and not injuries tho

I only gained 2 lbs over the holidays (only so much damage I can do tonight), which is awesome compared to the 7 lbs I gained over the holidays last year. I'm having a much easier time watching the diet this time around.
I'm happy at 185-186, and I'm 188 now.

I ran 11 tonight at 6:49 pace and felt fantastic! I'm just hoping I can feel that good on February 2nd!
Well here's hoping you don't overdo it.
Gamby - nice times man. Keep it up!

Lol, I know. I'm convinced my success will come down to mostly pure luck. last nights run was a big confidence booster though. Being able to run that quick, without that much effort, with this many many miles on my legs tells me my body wants to do it. I just need to get to that start line well rested, and mentally sharp so I don't make any mistakes.

It is awesome when your body is just right for a run (even better if it is a race!). I did a "hill" repeat tonight. I ran over a bridge and back for 3 laps, so 6 times over it. I didn't feel like I was going fast but my miles were right around 8:30. I was like ok well doing hills at that pace kicks ass!

Best of luck man, look forward to the stories and pictures. Even though I don't aspire to run 100 mile races, there's something awesome about leadville(as someone who loves belt buckles, I'm jelloc).

So you did it huh? I haven't decided if I want to or not. Right at this moment I don't have $300 to spend on it regardless. But if registration stays open for a week and I get paid I'd be able to afford it.
Guess I'll have to see if you guys (and myself) can talk me into it. :P

Leadville on a bike is gnarly. Running it is cray.
You guys are something else.

Damn that's moving! 12.5 miles with like a 7 minute or so average pace? I feel like I'm flying when I'm able to hit the 8-8:30 pace, haha. Keep it up you'll have no problem doing a Boston Qualifier.

I'm finding the REAL kicker to be cramping. And from all the reading it appears I'm depleting glycogen too quickly. In my quest to do 21 last week, I started cramping pretty bad around mile 20. Pretty sure my fuel and hydration are good. So I think I'm going to slow down just a tad and see if length/performance improves.
Chris - wondering if you're encountering similar issues on your longer runs, at or near your race pace?

Thanks. Will try it out next week and see if things improve.

You could also try using Hammer Heed as your sports drink. I rode a rather warm century this summer using that as my sports drink and no cramping at all--compared to prior long distance rides where cramping became a minor/major issue.

Thanks. I ordered the Salt Tabs from Amazon. If they don't have an improvement next week I'll try changing things up again. I usually go through 32 oz of G2 but sodium is only around 400 mg.
13 miler starts in about an hour.

Quick running this morning!
My previous fastest mile was 7:25 for a 1 mile run. (At least while using my Garmin, I ran a sub 7 minute mile for a fitness test, but didn't have my Garmin on me to verify the time/distance, so not counting it)
This morning had to do a 3 mile run, so went out kinda hard, hoping to be in the 8-8:30 pace, which is my harder run pace. First mile ticks at 7:22! I was like holy cow that's my fastest mile! So I just wanted to try to keep up, then mile 2 ticks by at 7:11! I was like how am I going faster?! It was 50 degrees out, which is nice, but just enough to make my lungs burn some from the hard breathing, and my legs are starting to get sore/fatigued from running hard. But I push through for the third mile to tick by at 7:12! So it was under 22 minutes for 3 miles.
My fastest 5k is 27:43 (like 1.5 years ago) and I was on pace to beat that by 5 and a half minutes! Basically run in the morning and it made my whole day better. =]
