I know it will sound weird. Keep trying back on the Garmin. I went through a week when my Garmin kept
saying it was not connected to my computer and I could not pick up any workout data. Suddenly, it connected
and the information from my other workouts were there.

I had to format the storage on the watch. Strange. If this happens to anyone else I can provide the gory details.

Two days in a row! I've been way off routine with the gym closed. And my RunKeeper app has been cutting out randomly even though I'm leaving it open. Not sure why, may need to charge the Garmin. Means no music for the DS in the stroller that way though. Glad to see everyone else keeping it up. Stay safe everyone!

Hi guys. Been MIA I know. But I'm still running. Temps are up in the 90s by day in Texas but if I get out early they're in the 70s. Keeping up my practice of 3-4 miles twice during the week, and 6-8m on the weekend. Wish I could get back to the flatter trail around the lake instead of my hilly neighborhood, but I don't feel comfortable there with the lack of social distancing on parts of the trail. Regardless, I'm hanging in there and am glad to see all of you are too.
I gather you heard that even September wasn't far enough out - it's been cancelled altogether this year for the first time ever. Sad but smart.

I always assumed this thread was about running at WDW. I haven't done that, though a co-worker did one of the Star Wars runs. It sounds like it would be incredibly cool.
I typically run 3-4 times/week, anywhere from 3-7 miles. I only run outdoors and will run at all temperatures, though I've noticed 55-65 is the Goldilocks zone for me. I've had the RunKeeper app for two years and a FitBit for the last year. It's awesome having all of the stats available to me. I recently turned off RunKeeper's automatic pause "feature", because 20-25% of my runs were getting randomly paused mid-run. It was good to have the FitBit app as a backup so that I could manually enter the full runs into RunKeeper.
Had a great run yesterday morning, first thing in the morning (5:50am). I may try that again tomorrow morning. Should be around 65 here in Chicagoland, so that bodes well.

Welcome! This sub-forum is about running, mostly at Disney, but this thread covers our daily running habits/routines.

Thanks for the welcome, @dreamfinder! I plan to take running shoes to WDW the next time I'm there. When I know which resort, I'll have to post here for potential routes.
I normally run right before lunch or right before dinner, but today (like Tuesday) I ran right before breakfast. Speed was excellent both times and my heart rate was at the lower end of my typical runs. I'm thinking it's a combination of the right temperature (low-mid 60s) and no caffeine in my system.

Yeah, first time in over a hundred years. I think New York may be cancelled also. No word yet on Chicago.

Took a few days off my legs were done. Hit 80 miles last month for the first time ever.
Did 4 miles the other day felt great.
Never shooting for 80 again. Not worth it lol

80 miles is a lot of running for one month! I've never done that.
How many miles do you typically get out of shoes? I know they say you can get 350-450 miles out of shoes, but after around 250 miles I notice a difference in cushioning. I'll retire the shoes from running duty (there's a ceremony with a card and a gift for the shoes) and then use them around the house until they're a complete mess.
With how many running shoes I go through, I've become an avid eBay buyer of used running shoes. I look for ones with almost no tread wear and assign them either 50 miles or 100 miles as a starting distance. Brooks and Nike are my preferred brands. The pair of Nike Lunarfly 2+ I had is still my absolute favorite for my style (neutral pronation, mid-foot strike, medium-high arch). Hoka's tend to feel too heavy and many other brands don't offer much support.

Ya 80 was prob too much. I was so exhausted the last 5k I did was absolutely miserable.
I try to shoot for 300 miles or so. I’ve been using the Pegasus turbo 2s and love them. I was using the epic reacts and those weren’t bad but I feel the Pegasus fit my foot better.
Tried a pair of brooks once and hated them.
I’ll stick to 60ish miles a month now.

I can generally get 500+ miles on my running shoes before I start to notice weird aches and pains.

The Nike outlet is a great place to find running shoes IMO.
Did 3 miles today. Wanted to do 4 but the heat was rough. 107 in the sun.
