The Weekly Recap – November 24, 2024
Last week, I talked about how tapering can feel like an awkward dance—trying to stay loose without overdoing it, all while ghost aches and training doubts lurk around every corner. Meanwhile, my brain was stuck on repeat, obsessing over packing the perfect lineup of nutrition and fueling for race day (because apparently, my greatest fear…
Read MoreTaper Week: The Longest Short Week of Your Running Life
So… you’re one week out from the big race. Months of training are behind you, your taper is in full swing, and all you need to do now is… wait? Rest? Stay off your feet? Easy, right? Wrong. Taper week is a mental and physical minefield, and if you’ve ever been there, you know exactly…

In reviewing my notes and Strava stats for the week, things are looking pretty good. Though I only ran 4 days last week, the distance was up 29% vs the week prior, which is what I had planned for the most part! Sadly, I slacked with the weights but did get in a bunch of…

Had a solid week getting in the miles I had planned. Did a few body weight workouts as well, but sadly nothing with actual weights. I did wrap up the weekend knocking out a 5 miler with the TUFF run club — and though the pace was WAY faster then I would have done on…

Feeling really good as of late, so good that I did pull the trigger and booked my hotel for the race in South Carolina next month. A month ago I wasn’t so sure that I’d be heading south. Other than that… still struggling a bit with doing the “other” workouts that I need to do,…
Read MoreLets Talk Training Methods
As I am returning from a 3-week break in training due to both being sick and hurt (read about that here) I find myself revisiting my training methods. It’s also one of the questions I get asked most often about. Those questions aren’t new to runners, ranging from “How many days do you run a…

Well that week went by quickly and I’m totally okay with it. It always amazing me how fast time can go by when one is engaged in something vs how time can be ever so slow when we are bored. I’m not against being bored per sey… but ya.. I like the feeling being engaged…
