I feel like I've made good progress with this mysterious "injury" but am not quite there yet - and am not willing to give up and live with what I have, at least not quite yet! The last month I've done a few things to help further my knowledge of what's going on and fix the root ...
Training Update
It’s April 2nd So You Know I’m Not Fooling You
So many awesome things happening around here! Let's get down to some updates: 1.Training is going great (although read #2)! I feel like I am at home now, following Meghan's workouts. If I were writing things for myself, this is how I would write things - but HURRAH - someone ...
Twin Cities Marathon just 2.5 weeks away
The training cycle for the 2018 Twin Cities Marathon has flown by; I can't tell if that's a good thing or not? The high school cross country season started in mid-August, which automatically puts me in over-drive, especially since I'm trying to be picky about getting my exact ...
Training is going really WELL!
I'd be lying if I've said that I haven't had doubts during this training cycle. On the one hand, I feel like I could be doing more every day. Every week. I haven't doubled once this cycle. I haven't done a long run workout yet at TCM is 6 weeks away. I also was told that I had ...
Coaching me to RUN, not WALK!
Adjusting to Gary's training has been eye opening! It's just different, and honestly - that's been a lot of fun! I'm 4 weeks into training with him post-Grandma's, and in those 4 weeks there have been good workouts alongside epic fail workouts. Mileage has been lower, ...
Trusting my Marathon Training through Lows
I've had big highs and big lows the last two weeks. 1) The best workout of this training cycle so far, 2) A Stillwater half marathon that was 2 minutes slower than my 1/2 split I hope to hit at Grandma's (yikes)), 3) A bombshell of a 4x2 mile tempo run, and 4) The ...
![Well, Grandmas marathon did not go as I hoped. My legs felt awful from the gun - which makes for a long 26.6 mile trek! 3:07 long, to be exact (goal was sub 2:50). I don’t know if I was fighting off Anna’s bug or what (she was home with me on Tuesday because of a fever) - but my legs have never felt like that.
Despite that, the experience in Duluth is second to none, and made even more fun by all of my TNC Endurance athletes competing. I could gush about how proud I am of them all day! Their accomplishments outshine mine any day - I love my job as a coach 💕. Congrats to all, and like I’ve been known to say: let’s start scheming about those fall goals! [It’s a really good thing I love the process of marathon training. Seriously. Make training and all of the little things hard, make scheduling time for it tough, make my mind and body ache through training runs — there’s just something about the daily discipline it takes! A special kind of crazy?
