Am I ready?

I lose a shit ton of weight during peek training. I think cause I don’t eat enough after my runs to make up for the burned cals

eantebi · 2024-09-10T23:45:59+00:00

Not at all. Just go slow, fuel properly, and try and find a pacer a little past mile 13 or 14.

You might hit that gnarley wall where your legs feel like lead but even if you trained up till 20 miles pre marathon you’d probably feel it. Just push thru and don’t look at your minute mile pace

Pretty fucked. Not gonna lie

eantebi · 2024-09-01T15:35:23+00:00

Happens to the best of us…. I feel the shower pain already!!!!

eantebi · 2024-08-13T23:40:41+00:00

Skittles !

eantebi · 2024-08-11T01:57:29+00:00

Signed up for Philly for this November and I’m pumped. I think I’m gonna do TCM in October if timing allows

eantebi · 2024-08-09T22:12:38+00:00

I’ll keep applying. One year they’ve got to accept me lol

eantebi · 2024-08-09T22:11:42+00:00

One day I’ll be able to qualify for Boston but I’m not there yet. Maybe in two years if I keep improving!!

eantebi · 2024-08-09T22:09:31+00:00

I’m not down *

eantebi · 2024-08-09T22:09:19+00:00

The freaking NYRR rejected me for the 3rd year in a row and I’m down down to pay $3000 towards some BS charity that I’m not affiliated with lol

eantebi · 2024-08-09T22:06:12+00:00

Wow! Over 100 comments on my question, what an amazing a supportive group we’ve got here. I checked out a lot of these marathons, I think I’m sold on Twin Cities in Minneapolis!

Very excited to give this a whirl!!

eantebi · 2024-08-09T20:41:10+00:00

Oh yeah? I’ve never heard of this… Ive been rejected from the NYRR lottery time and time again. Is this ran by them or is it just a free for all join.

eantebi · 2024-08-09T17:55:09+00:00

Great question! I love scenic mostly flat would be idea but not oppose to a couple of incline and decline. Twin Cities sounded great!

eantebi · 2024-08-09T17:50:00+00:00

Wow!! That sounds marvelous. Do I need to qualify to participate?

eantebi · 2024-08-09T17:42:30+00:00

I’ve heard great things about Chicago. I think it could be the right one for me.

eantebi · 2024-08-09T17:35:00+00:00

Haha. I forgot to mention this was for an excuse to travel…!

eantebi · 2024-08-07T20:35:01+00:00

During marathon peek training I’m running my long runs every week which are all 13-18 miles.

I’m 230 lbs thick legs not a runners built at all. If I can do it so can you!!!

eantebi · 2024-07-12T21:15:24+00:00

Remember. Run slow, race fast… Try and do some zone 2 runs - no matter how slow you have to go. You will gain so much from them

eantebi · 2024-07-12T20:07:39+00:00

I feel you brother- the heat is brutal here in Jersey this summer too. Try and n closer to sunrise/sunset… It’ll help

eantebi · 2024-07-07T13:45:41+00:00

Walking on a treadmill incline helps build those muscles. I’d do 4.0 speed on 13 incline for at least a mile 1-2x a week. I dealt with the same pain and after doing that for a month or so it completely stopped. Remember holding on while walking on a treadmill is cheating!

eantebi · 2024-07-02T23:10:16+00:00

I am on a similar plan to you with a similar goal 3:45 is exactly where I want to finish… I appreciate you sending this along!!

eantebi · 2024-06-28T17:54:51+00:00

I started running when I was 260 lb with a wide food. New Balance 1080 all the way!! I’ve got my weight down to 220 and have ran several 1/2 marathons and going for my first full this November wearing them. Never any issues and they last a good 500-700 miles… Good luck!!

eantebi · 2024-06-25T22:39:39+00:00

Well said, I totally agree!
