@ Rumble.
Nailed my last long run tonight. 23 miles @ 3:57:17. And so the taper begins...
Oh and yes, all on the treadmill...

I train almost exclusively at night with very few "safe" routes for runners in our area. And still a bit nervous about getting stranded without resources.
I will say it is nice to plug away at Netflix while letting the treadmill dictate my pace. It has been really helping during the last half when I tend to slow down. And the impact has been forgiving to the knees.
This is probably my last run indoors at this length. Going to look at Beach routes come mid March.

"Unsafe" as in you might get assaulted/shot?
That sucks.

More like harassed by wierdos The park in my area is HUGE but not patrolled at night. If I can shift my longer runs to Sat mornings I'll go there. Otherwise Huntington Beach has a nice 9 mile stretch with facilities every mile.

Did I mention the Cleveland National Forest is right across the street? If I get mauled I'm blaming you...

I imagine a GPS watch would do. But to track your type of movements I think you'd have to ping the satellite pretty often.
Rumble - maybe toss a few races into the schedule for motivation? That and sharing progress has kept me motivated for nearly two years.
Chris - seriously considering treating LA as a training run, just to take it all in. Maybe do OC for time.

Nice!! At least I know I'm not the only crazy one I did just over 18 last week on the treadmill.
I just finished up a long week of training, with next week even heavier... then 2 light weeks leading up to the 50k

The snow has made running too sketchy around here for the past couple of weeks.
I've been jumping a lot of rope and have been killing the mag trainer. Thaw/rain mid-end of the week will change dat doe (I hope)

Well my foot is feeling good again(stupid plantar fascia), and the snow melted...
And now it's 44 degrees and pouring rain and windy for the next week.
So I'll be getting on the treadmill, super.

Dude, I've proven the snow doesn't stop me. I've done 2 1/2s in varying degrees of snow, and there's photos of me and chris frolicking.
But Snow > rain when it comes to being outdoors.

There's no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing. Yeah, they always say that on our ski-fields too, but pissing down rain make the snow suck even if you're dry. Sometimes, being outdoors just sucks.
That said, I'm currently running on a treadmill Mon-Fri so I don't really have room to talk You SOB

Love it! Where will you guys be running on 3/1? Looking to do a longer "taper" run prior to LA.

I'm not sure yet. Since I'm not an official member yet, I don't get the email...my buddy just forwards it a few days before. I'll be sure to pass it along when I get it that week though.
Why are there 4 poles up there?? At first I thought they were tools from doing trail maintenance but a closer look says they're permanent. Tying up horses? Locking up bikes? Leaning on to catch your breath in that thin air? Lol. They're actually sighting tubes. You look through them and they're aimed at versions points of interest: downtown LA, Catalina Island, Mt Baldy, etc. They have little plaques that tell you what you're looking at. I think it was an Eagle Scout project.
The summit itself isn't all that pretty...it's packed full of cell towers/antennas...but the trail up is spectacular.
