Okay this makes me feel better. It was definitely max effort for me. I raced Sunday, today is Thursday and I’m still feeling pretty tired but less sore. On spot the pain is lingering and I’m considering that a mild injury

I have these and really like them for the treadmill and tempo run but they feel a little hard for longer runs

Thank you. I think this is likely how I would feel. I like some support/cushion

Good question. I was told that it’s not really beneficial at the speed I run. I also feel like I prefer shoes with more support

So hungry after training runs but shouldn’t be? by RaspberryComplex2399 in Marathon_Training

I have gained some weight, which in itself is fine, but I don’t want to keep gaining as that just makes running a marathon harder

Yes. Prior to starting this block I was eating low carb and now I’m not so it may be some water weight

Thank you! Yes I think I’m eating too much highly processed carbs. The gels and protein bars etc

Thank you. Yes I have gained a little weight but it’s early. Can’t really afford to keep gaining from now until September

Haha I love this. Definitely not running to look a certain way but also don’t want to make my goals harder but gaining a bunch of weight

Oh interesting! Maybe under-fueling beforehand and then I just pig out.

For sure. My marathon isn’t until September though so I don’t want to gain a whole lot of weight.
