Just finished a nice 4 miler up here at the Ranch and after dropping my run into the ST tracker I couldn't help but gaze up the list to find that Bluestacks is on fire again (this is the same guy from last year yes?). It's day two and while I'm happily sitting "one up" with three runs dude-man is sitting at 14... FOUR-f*cking- TEEN. I love this guy!!! What an inspiration!!!
with respect to bluestacks' efforts, a shout-out must be given to rob gray, who i believe may have begun his 100/100 during ultraman. 3 runs so far, he's on schedule, 3-for-3, but with 50-something miles.
I got a new plan for 100/100. Basically if I do 20 min on the treadmill in the morning and evening and other than that, I jog from car to office, office to car, car to pool, pool to car, car to office, office to car, drive home and squeeze in another lap of the block or a few laps around the building at work, this will get me to 35 minutes per day and I don't even really have to devote any "planned time" to running. Just run everywhere instead of walking.
Last month when I was in London and Paris on business, I basically ran through every airport terminal. I wanted to see how many steps I was getting running everywhere rather than walking and I was getting around 8000-10000 steps of slow jogging daily without making time to work out or in addition to working out. There was won day when I only did 8000 steps in a run (so around 8km), but by the end of the day I got to 26,000 of which another 12000 was jogging.
There was one day where I left the convention center in Paris and rather than take the street car or Uber back to my hotel, I started, walking and then that turned into a jog in my business clothing and dress shoes. As my sweat built up, I stuffed my business suit jacket into my backpack so I was running the the street in Paris in dress pants, dress shirt and with a business backpack on and dress shoes. The pace was just jogging. 4.5 km later I got to my hotel shedded the biz gear , put on running shoes, compression shorts and T shirt and then I hit the track (yes, hotel was strategically picked to be close to a track and pool), and did 10km more of running on the track in proper sportswear (and not in zero padding zero drop dress shoes.....strategically chosen dress shoes that I can run in slowly if I have to).
In any case, that was outside 100/100, but part of the "running everywhere" plan came from being on a Kona training camp with Ultraman Rob Gray, who was doing exactly that. If he could run somewhere he was and it all adds up.
