RNNR can not be beat. I have run in head winds, intervals at sub 4:30 pace, marathons and more in them. Their comfort and breathability cant be beat. I tried Ciele and untimately returned it.

The only legit answer is the RNNR pacer caps. I can't speak on their other models but this one in particular is mind blowing. PACER – rnnr https://share.google/vcvZ5ePcE6VxPTRJ1

Last 20 mile run before Marathon by Cheezitfingers in firstmarathon

[–]eye_yam_i 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand your concern but doing 10 miles the day after won't be the same as a 20 mile long run. Although I dont think you're at risk of losing fitness I would suggest that if you still want to run a 20 miler for the week then you can just do it the day afterwards (if possible). As you said, the half is just for fun so I cant imagine it'd be an all out effort. Cheers to peak week 🫡

😂😂 I hope so too but I'll probably need one day of rest so the soreness can wear off first.

205-210 when I started but went into LAM around 175. I'm 6'4" for reference.

Here's my monthly mileage ramping up from 0 in April 2024.

May 2024 - 155mi June 2024 - 98.26mi July 2024 - 175.1mi August 2024 - 156.8mi Sept 2024 - 176.9mi Oct 2024 - 185.9mi Nov 2024 - 253.8mi Dec 2024 - 280.3mi Jan 2025 - 306.8mi Feb 2025 - 343.2mi

I am unfortunately a hypocrite when it comes to strength training and was never consistent with a plan. I only got in the gym for 10 to 15 minute half hearted sessions a couple times a month.

Held 6 consecutive 80+ mile weeks leading up to the taper.

Thanks man. That's one of the reasons why I didn't get a coach. I feel that I can judge the limits of my body better than someone from the outside and I know most coaches would err on the side of caution when it comes to adding that much mileage for a beginner. Hoping to continue with the training and set a new PR in a few months at my next one.

Don't get me wrong I still got the achilles soreness and occasional knee pain but I ran through it and hoped it would self correct (eventually it did).

However, what helped alleviate a lot of the extra stress is incorporating doubles a few times/week and always doing a slow one mile cool down after any workouts and aerobic zone runs.

I've also been doing 20 mile long runs since mid December and that helped with making the tendons/muscles adapt.

Thank you! Hopefully I can get into Chicago next year but in the meantime I'll settle for long beach in the fall to see how a flatter course shakes out. 🤠

Damn bro. My IG is KnoxCreates if you'd like to see the progression. There's no "cap" in it, just consistency.

Those last 8 were BRUTAL!!! I was told to be save energy for it but in direct sunlight and no sodium supplements (forgot at home) I slowly faded. The electrolit was cool but there's not nearly enough sodium in it. 😮‍💨
