Hi everyone - I have a quick question.
For context, I began running last year, but took a couple months off due to bronchitis. When I started last year, I registered for the 2019 Star Wars 10k. I am at a 14:25 mile and my longest mileage has been about 7 miles (though I feel like I could go longer if needed) so I'm not SUPER worried about the race other than the heat. (This is saying a lot for me because when I started, I was doing couch to 5k and thought I was going to DIE on week1)
All this to say that I'm new to running and admittedly don't know nearly enough about it. I'm an interval runner. I currently do 3.5 min run to 2 min walk. However, lately when I read about interval running, it's in seconds usually - ex. 30sec/30 sec.
Is it bad to be doing longer interval runs like I'm doing? Does it matter? Eventually, I'd like to increase my running and decrease my walking and do a half marathon and then a full. I'm just trying to figure out if I train or run "wrong."
I have a lot to learn still and thought this would be a good first spot to ask.
Good morning everyone. Yesterday we had to say goodbye to Dixie. It may not have been the hardest thing I've ever had to do, but it's definitely in the top 3. While that decision was not easy, and I wish I had more time with her, it was the right thing to do. On Friday she are some McDonald's french fries on our drive home. We hung out Friday evening BBQ'ing and playing. She had a ribeye and watermelon for dinner. She slept in our bed Friday night and got bacon for breakfast. Plenty of love from us all. I miss her so much already and the house just seems so different without her here.

Aw man, I wish I'd seen this earlier! I went back and watched the replay and saw it though. Congrats to you guys, you had a great run! I had only watched the 16" preferred and 24" groups earlier because a local-ish lady that runs the facility we trial a lot at was running in those finals (and won the 16" preferred one).Sorry to hijack the running talk, but I need you guys to tune into https://akc.tv/ tonight. My Border Collie Harlow and I are running in the AKC Agility National Championship Finals!!! Doubt we’ll win, but we’ll have fun and do our best.
Kinda - I have traveled for other races, but never with the intention of actually vacationing there. Myrtle Beach is an example - the race was in February when I ran it (did it about 5 times). Myrtle Beach is pretty miserable in February. Almost nothing is open, and the weather is cold and windy. For me, the only place that I have traveled to with the intention of both vacationing and running a race is WDW.QOTD: Outside of Disney have you ever done a running centric vacation?
I'm curious about this post as ATR is a race where discarded clothing is given to charity. I would have expected the gloves to have been picked up, unless they were discarded outside of the first 2 miles of the race.So the American Tobacco Trial Marathon was this weekend which I know is a race that a lot of Boston Qualifiers enjoy as it’s flat and temperatures are usually ideal. One of the owners in the Rhodesian Club waited to take her dog out on the trail after the race finished so it should have been cleaned.
Just a sad reminder when you are racing to be mindful of how you handle your trash.

ATTQOTD: Yes, a few times actually. Our trip to run the Boston Marathon was one. I've taken shorter trips to Tennessee to run the Navy 10 Nautical Mile race. The last one I have done was a running camp in North Carolina with Zapfitness. Really cool thing to do with a lot of great advice and its a little higher in elevation so the temps felt like fall for me in July.
