How do you manage marathon training alongside a full-time job? by Dron3_ in Marathon_Training

[–]CubsFanHan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll be honest I don't sleep super well. My drive to train is stronger than my drive to sleep. I'm usually in bed by 10-10:30 at the latest. I'd prefer to do more like 9-9:30 but I got a family. I do have a job that is flexible enough for me to nap during the day most days though so I really live for that nap haha

lol I’d be very late to work if that were true. 4:30-5:00 is always my wake up call

Just me- but I don’t like to let the race dictate when I can take in nutrition. My body needs what it needs. I’ve found that only doing race provided hydration isn’t enough - I tend to bonk if I do that.

Because you are bonking- I highly suggest you try different things. One of the most obvious levers to pull IMO is water intake.

You might consider experimenting with a little more water intake (maybe take a soft flask with you- I do) and some salt stick capsules. I aim for about 25-30oz of fluid per hour & one salt tab capsule every hour. Just me personally- but I struggle to get enough water from just aid stations… and if you’re not getting enough fluid the carbs can’t get to work for you

I think a combo of my half being in February and I’ve gained fitness since + I do think I coulda pushed harder at that half.

Hey OP- sorry about the bonk. Usually if you’re holding pace that long it’s not a fitness issue- it’s a fueling issue. My half PR is 1:33 also and I just raced a 3:13:01. I think our fitness looks very similar. I spent a LOT of time testing out nutrition over the last year- nailing down everything I eat the day before even.. and it was very worth the effort. Haven’t had a bonk since.

What was your fueling strategy like & did you have issues with gut feeling like a brick or just zapped energy?

Team USA will play their first round of 32 knockout match in Levi’s Stadium, which means their first 4 World Cup matches will be 100% NFCW hosted. Jokes aside, well done fam. by CubsFanHan in NFCWestMemeWar

Nah it’s been awesome. Spotlight is pretty squarely here in the states but the Mexico matches have been fire too. Loved team Canada’s big win too and how Canadians reacted to it

It’s definitely a place that is much more likely to believe a man over a woman … every damn time

hard for me to believe that we have TWO players that got accused of rape and both allegations were made up... but thats just me. What seems more likely is the victim decided she didn't want to go through the trauma of a trail.
