Runner detours off course onto gravel trail during long run
Original: Around 6mi I wandered off the official course onto a gravel rail-trail due to trail closure (?) and paid ~30s/mi for it.
A distance runner reports straying off the official course around the six-mile mark onto a gravel rail-trail, apparently because of a trail closure, costing roughly 30 seconds per mile in pace. The runner still logged an effective pace score of 1.38, the best of their 2026 long runs, with the final three miles running 13 to 22 seconds per mile faster.
Why now: The runner shared detailed training metrics and an unexpected detour that fellow runners find relatable.
Rank over time, top of the chart is #1. 3 snapshots from 8 h ago to 5 h ago.

- Around 6mi I wandered off the official course onto a gravel rail-trail due to trail closure (?) and paid ~30s/mi for it. Thankfully this is not part of the official course! # CoachMiles told me EF was 1.38, the best of my 2026 long runs, and the last 3mi were 13-22s/mi faster… · BenjaminHan@sigmoid.social · 3
