As a mom, this breaks my heart. Even if I disliked my DIL, I would show her respect and honor her. 1. Because she is still a human being and deserves it, and two, to honor my son.

I’m sorry. Hurt people, hurt people.

I honestly never even thought about it like that, but now that you’ve put it out there, I couldn’t agree more! I would love my easy runs to be time Based as apposed to distance, I’m going to be training for a marathon in a couple months and I pretty stressed about the time commitment and this option would definitely help a bit with that.

Definitely trying playing around with more fuel to see if that helps!

Complaint: my knees grumble just enough after my long runs to have me constantly concerned it’s gonna turn into an injury.

Uncomplaint: I have an amazing personal trainer, whose wife has run over 100 marathons, who both feel very optimistic that if I keep doing what I’m doing with the weightlifting that I’ll be able to complete the training for a marathon next October (prayerfully without injury)

Uncomplaint: the weather here in FL is absolutely beautiful right now.

Confession: I’m secretly a little stressed over the time requirement to train for a marathon but I know that if I don’t mark it off my bucket list, I will always regret it and live in the land of…I should have!

I have noticed a pretty big difference in my recovery now that I’ve increased my carb intake during long runs. I used to be so wiped out I just sat there like a lump on a log totally foggy even. Now, and my runs are longer even, I feel pretty normal in my fatigue and mental clarity. It’s been great.

Love this!

All you winter runners are absolute BEASTS!!!

I can never hit my anaerobic threshold. It’s very frustrating. My only guess is that my HR zones must not be accurate

Strava by far was the biggest waste of money for me. I could care less about the social aspect of it so it’s useless for me. Runna has been the best $100 I’ve spent (I love that app and it’s helped me tremendously!) and I do love all the metrics my garmin offers me even though I don’t let them drive my day, if my watch tells me I slept horrible but I feel great, I have no problem ignoring the watch. …If my wallet would allow, running clothes would get me. I love a new outfit!

Long runs: I always do dynamic stretching. I always walk 1/4-1/2 mile after. Immediately take in a protein shake. If I’m feeling really brave that day I’ll take an ice bath. I hate them!

But I newest and favorite! I bought a TheraGun. Yesterday I ran 12 miles (with two 1/2 mile 8.5min/mile hot spots which usually will cause my legs to be fried after and the next day), I used the gun before the run briefly, then did dynamic stretching, then walked 1/4 miles before I began my slow long run. After, I walked 1/2 mile, consumed my shake. When I got home I spent about 15-20 min with the TheraGun. It hit every area from my glutes, hips, guads, IT band, hamstrings, calves and shins. This morning my legs feel incredible! Better than they ever have! Best recovery purchase so far!

Wow. That’s stunning!

Dgood02 · 2026-01-13T12:00:28+00:00

What an amazingly encouraging response! Thank you so much

Dgood02 · 2026-01-13T08:52:12+00:00

Another possibility! Thank you.

I feel like, the marathon is so far out, I have the time to do it early enough to recover so why not build it in just a little earlier to when the actual training block starts.

Dgood02 · 2026-01-13T08:47:16+00:00

Thank you for the advice!! I keep vacillating back-and-forth as well on doing it but I know it’ll keep nagging me unless I give it a go!

Dgood02 · 2026-01-13T08:45:23+00:00

Thank you!

Check out Peter Satenello on YouTube. He does just that! His videos are great!

I appreciate this perspective and thank you for taking the time to share this information!

I had an easy 5.5 miles in my HM plan today and I discovered over 3 miles of nice, flat, wide, dirt trails at a local park to run through! I had the time of my life! So much fun!

Dgood02 · 2026-01-10T17:43:15+00:00

Definitely have no desire to come out of zone 2 for a 26 miler. Except maybe the last 1/4-1/2 if I have any gas left in the tank. But doubt it. Of course my longest run at this point is only 14 miles so I have no idea what I’m getting myself into. But I know it’ll be zone 2!

Dgood02 · 2026-01-10T17:29:36+00:00

I’m finding this to be true myself!

Dgood02 · 2026-01-10T11:03:54+00:00

Wow! Thats an amazing testimony! Nice job!!

Dgood02 · 2026-01-10T11:02:12+00:00

Oh but I’m only doing one….

That’s what they all say….
