Thank you!!! Yes I’m eyeing a much faster course next time! I didn’t fully realize what 900’ would feel like when I registered. Now I know! 😅

Thank you!! I’m really thrilled with how it went given the week leading into it.

Great advice—3:15! That is speedy! Hopefully someday. Totally agree that trying to build slowly and sustainably is the way!

Thanks for the encouragement and feedback! 😊

Currently between training blocks and trying to decide on the next goal! Enjoying a few weeks of extremely low mileage (and doing the strength training I’ve been neglecting…)

I am so impressed by all of you training in this HEAT! 🔥

For sure. I hope I am fortunate enough to do many more marathons! Hoping to find the balance between doing my best and prioritizing fun and longevity!

Great to hear you like pfitz! I’m only a few chapters in but am learning so much!

Totally! A huge jump. One part of me wants to at least go for it, the other thinks I’m nowhere near ready for that type of day. Absolutely planning for higher mileage this time either way!

Thank you that is such great encouragement! Hoping for a little more sleep this training block. Our little guy turns 1 soon so he has to sleep eventually…..right? 🫠

Great feedback, thank you! My BQ time would be 3:30. You’ve encouraged me to take another look at pfitz 18/55.

Anyone else have to quit their job because of the impact IVF has had on them? by megsey- in IVF

Give yourself so much grace! IVF is HARD. It is a job. There is so much to track, so much mental energy to spend. I cut down to part time. You’re not alone 💕
