QOTD: How many weeks do you dedicate to prepare for any one race?
QOTD: What is the warmest temps you have gone out for a run in? What about the coldest? Which would you prefer of the two extremes?
A flat 50k doesn’t need much more training than a marathon. A hilly 90k takes a whole lot more work to prepare for.
It's my fourth year in a row running it. It's such a great race, you need to do it. I saw Des running, I saw Meb as well. They also both spoke after the awards ceremony too.I really want to do the BAA 10k next year!! My running store group got to hang out with Des Linden for a little bit - it looked like a fun, well-supported race!
QOTD: What is the warmest temps you have gone out for a run in? What about the coldest? Which would you prefer of the two extremes?
ATTQOTD: The warmest run I have ever been on has to be around 95 around 5PM, which probably had a heat index around 100 ish. The coldest run was during a 5k run. It was 21 that morning. Thats cold for my area! The coldest I have ever felt during a run was when it was raining, very windy and in the low 40's. Never warmed up on that one. I would take the cold extreme over the hot though.
QOTD: Keeping with our theme yesterday and also a timely suggestion from a fellow poster we have the following question. Ladies, will you run in just a sports bra if it is hot? Gentlemen, will you go shirtless? And if not, why? Do you find it offensive? Or just not for you?

ATTQOTD: Not offensive, but not for me. I wouldn't wear sleeveless shirts until after college I was so self conscientious. I am over that, but would still not feel comfortable without something covering my stomach. Beyond that, I already whine about the need to sunscreen my back in racer tanks, and I already run out of shirt with which to wipe away the sweat running too close to my eyes. So despite my puritanical upbringing, I would have to overcome the loss of the multifunctional device that is my shirt. Also, I appreciate the reminder that I need new shirts or to do laundry more frequently.QOTD: Keeping with our theme yesterday and also a timely suggestion from a fellow poster we have the following question.

I never run shirtless - not even when running on the beach. Being shirtless in my family is only acceptable if at the beach or pool side, but not when exercising. When I see men running shirtless I can't help but think of them as attention seekers.QOTD: Keeping with our theme yesterday and also a timely suggestion from a fellow poster we have the following question.

ATTQOTD: I keep my shirt on because I'm way to chunky to be out public without a shirt. It shouldn't matter, but it does. Not a big deal and for those who do it, both men and women (sports bra), I am not bothered by it.
I'm new to the running thread, been lurking for just a bit but mostly hang out on the Marathon board while prepping for Dopey 2019.
ATTQOTD: Always a shirt. Not because I care what anyone else will think, but because if I only wore a sports bra I would be looking down at the jiggling instead of ahead at the road
My husband runs without a shirt because these Arkansas summers are bonkers hot.
