Friday and Saturday last week were not good for me. Specific pain came back to SI joint on my 1 minute run on Friday, and stayed with me through Saturday. Not cool. How could this happen? Was it because of my biking? I had biked for a good amount of time Monday through Wednesday —…

I want to break the 3:45 mark for the marathon…what is your best tip to get longer with faster miles? I have a good sub 8 pace for 5 miles, but couldn't hold that for 10…
How are you feeling? :). Happy New Year!
