Training Update – Listening to the Body, Not the Ego

It’s been a hot minute—three weeks, actually—since my last update, and while I had originally planned a classic two-week ramp-up after a down week, things didn’t go exactly as scripted. Back on the week of March 31, I made a conscious effort to reduce time on feet—logging just 5 hours compared to the 8.5 the…

The Weekly Recap – March 30, 2025

The Weekly Recap – March 9, 2025

Last week, I shifted my training focus to “time on feet” rather than just tracking miles, knowing the miles would take care of themselves. The goal was 8–10 hours, and I came pretty close—happy with these numbers! Heading into this next week, I’m sticking with the same goal but adjusting things a bit. Thinking of…

The Weekly Recap – March 2, 2025

Last week wasn’t too bad overall. Happy that I knocked out 4 runs, but sad that two were on road vs more trail time. Moving forward – from now until race day I will be working towards more time on feet methodology vs just pure miles. That being said, the miles will come, as they…

The Weekly Recap – Feb 23 2025

Slow start to the week, but even with the travel to the West Coast, I’m happy to have logged 20 miles. The trail runs in SoCal were definitely the highlight! Starting in March, I’ll be shifting my focus from tracking miles to prioritizing time on feet—which should naturally lead to more miles. The goal is…

The Weekly Recap – Feb 16, 2025

Getting back to the weekly posts…. and this past week, I logged just under 15 miles—not bad at all, considering my main focus right now is time on feet rather than chasing mileage. The miles will come, but getting my body used to sustained movement is the priority. Saturday’s long run was a solid one:…

Three Weeks, One Update: Running Through the Chaos

So… three weeks without a weekly update? What gives? Well, life gives—and takes. Energy, time, motivation, and whatever else it feels like snatching up in the moment. It’s not that I haven’t been running or working out. I have. But I didn’t feel like I did enough to actually share, which is ridiculous when you…

The Weekly Recap – Jan 19, 2025

So, apparently I was down 9% from previous week. But ya know what? I’m totally okay with it.  Not each week has to be the same or even up.  Rest is important and if that is what I needed, so be it. Strava Stats –  Jan 13 – Jan 19, 2025 18.6  miles ran 3hrs…
