CIM - Training Cycle Recap + Goals for Race Day
It’s race week! It’s amazing how different I feel going into race week this season than I did in the Spring heading into Grandma’s Marathon. I was so excited in the Spring for the training cycle to and the race to be done that I completely checked out and didn’t even want to race. I wasn’t really present on race day or in the final weeks of training and it honestly, kinda sucked. Right now, I’m excited to put myself out there on Sunday and see what I’ve got. This is a great sign that I didn’t overdo it and am in a good space mentally.
2019 Grandma's Marathon Race Recap
Well that was a disappointing race, no? While I didn’t hit my goal of going sub-3, I’m surprisingly ok with it. I haven’t figured out if my body really just didn’t cooperate or if my mind just gave in too early. I went into this race so tired.
2019 Boston Marathon Race Recap
A week later and I’m definitely still riding that post-Boston marathon high! I am still so in awe of how amazing the day felt and how much I fully enjoyed the race experience. It was everything I hoped it would be. I wanted to link you up to my 2017 Boston Recap post because the post race thoughts on Boston at that point resonate with me now. This race is hard to race. I felt lucky I wasn’t out for blood this year, because I would’ve been wrecked. Lowering my expectations and running this race for fun brought back all the love I missed out on two years ago.
Thrive Half Marathon Race Recap
When I signed up for the Thrive Half Marathon a few months ago, it was intended to be my goal race. I’m never sure what the weather will be like at Long Beach, so I wanted to have an option a few weeks later to test fitness again and chase my half marathon goal.
2018 Long Beach Half Marathon Race Recap
I haven’t blogged in a while! Time is scarce, but I thought it would be fun to recap Long Beach because it is my hometown race and the first time I got to be in a race with my athletes and meet up with them in real life!
2017 NYC Marathon Race Recap - A NEW PR!
Marathon recaps are so hard... mostly because it's such a long race, how can I remember every moment??? But I want to relive this race over and over because it was the BEST RACE EVER!!!!!!!!
How I Fuel - What My Daily Meals Look Like
I've received a few inquiries on how I fuel during the week before my runs and before my weekly long run. I've become a creature of habit since I've figured out what works for me, so most days look the same. Just like in training, consistency and good habits are key in nutrition to ensure you are properly fueled and to help avoid GI issues.
