Keep working hard y'all.

Today, in week 5 of my Galloway training, I ran a 5K in 19:54, first sub 20 since HS. I was 11/214 and 3rd in my age group.

I was happy to see that by doing my homework and running, I was able to run faster. Who'd have thunk it haha.

Can someone help me with what the short hands here mean? I feel silly asking...

Be happy to. Which ones were you wondering about? Is it dreamfinder who has you asking questions? He does have a way of minimizing his workouts to as few characters as possible. LOL. For example, when he says "3@2i@7:13" he means 3 miles at 2% incline at 7:13 min/mile pace. Right @dreamfinder?
Are there any others?

Almost forgot to add, 2.8 miles for me yesterday. Left off the kinesio tape and knee still felt ok.

Awesome. Yes, that is what confused me. Especially the "i". I had thought it mean interval but then I got confused.

Got it, for now... ;)

Glad you run went well. I took today off...after my long run yesterday. I know I'm supposed to rest days but inevitably I feel guilty not running. :(

Knee wasn't in it today, so 1.25@2i@8 followed by 10min bike. Need to do more stretching/glute work again I think.

Yup. That's my shorthand, distance, incline, pace. Most of my runs end up being on the treadmill, so that format almost always works. If I do repeats it may end up looking like 3@2i (same thing) followed by 6x(.25@6+.25@8) which would be 6 repeats of 1/4 mi@ 6min pace, followed by 1/4mi@ 8 min pace. Or If I do neg splits, or something else completely, the pace section can go all over the place. 1@8, 1@7:50, 1@7:40 would be 1mi@ 8min pace followed by 1mi@ 7:50min pace, etc.

It is a minimalist format, but I use these notes as much as my run log as anything else. I'll usually detail the more interesting/unique runs but most people here hate the treadmill (I seem to be the only one who tolerates it) so I think they appreciate the brevity.

@JillC LI Glad to hear the knee felt ok. That's good news.

Awesome. Makes sense now.

I love the treadmill if it is cold, rainy, snowy, or too hot. Basically I like to jog in clear weather when it is 50-75 F. :)

3@8:59 --then walked a mile-- 0.6@9:56(uphill) (working on my lingo…)

Oh, and I just signed up for my very first ½ marathon this fall, the (Inaugural) Cambridge MA ½ Marathon. And to think all of this is just so I can someday run in WDW...

Couple of miles at an easy pace today. Knee is still bothering me, but doing better.

What did I miss? What's with your knee?
I could've written your post as well about me yesterday ... 3 miles at easy pace. Knee was okay while running but it a little achy today. Not gonna increase my distance yet.

Feel free to skip the lingo and say things however you'd like :) And congrats on signing up for your first Half!
