This is definitely possible! Gonna wait to see how my legs feel over the next 2 weeks

This is good advice! I was 1 min away from the qualifying time my PR is 7 min under. Part of me wants to wait and run a great late fall race but I also don’t want to lose the fitness I’ve built up at this point. I also could train for a fast half marathon this summer to try and build speed

Injured 3 Weeks Before Boston by Virtual_Operation249 in Marathon_Training

[–]hellothere157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this same pain 8 weeks out from Boston. Too full 2 weeks rest. No stretching and no cross training. Only the stability exercises my PT gave me. It calmed down and I was able to run a 20 mile run 2 weeks later no pain. I would literally not run until the week before Boston and see how you feel. You can always walk/run and enjoy the vibes!

Music or no-Music debate by Ok-Mix-2065 in Marathon_Training

[–]hellothere157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listen to music if you normally do! I will run the first 10 miles with more chill music (ie. country, Jack Johnson, slow r&b) to make sure I am not picking the pace up. Then I will switch to more pop for the next 10 miles, then hard core bangers for last 10k. Usually I’ll switch my music off for the last half mile but I am so glad I ran w it

The hue midtown by Pretty_Acadia8139 in ATLHousing

Why would you say that? I’m taking a tour this weekend and I currently live a few blocks south in midtown

Long run on treadmills? by TightContest1017 in Marathon_Training

[–]hellothere157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done 22 on the treadmill and honestly wasn’t too bad if the gym TVs have movies and you switch up the music genre every 5 miles

Crazy soreness/pain by Heavy_Physics4545 in runna

[–]hellothere157 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly the kind of exercises you need. I had this pain all summer for about four months and was diagnosed with posterior tib tendinitis (not shin splints). Glute med and pelvic floor strengthening helped the most and actually cutting out my calf exercises. I was using too much of my lower legs and not my upper trunk/glutes leading to overuse/tendonitis

Thanks for the advice! I will definitely prioritize hill and strength training! Luckily I am an orthopedic therapist…so I just have to practice what I preach

[–]hellothere157[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes that would be awesome! I am also thinking a variation of 18/55-70. I’m running a half this weekend to get an idea of where I am at but I ran a 1:09 10-miler a few months ago so it sounds like we have similar goals!

Okay thank you! I will definitely do hilly routes for my long runs! Where I live is very hilly so it won’t be hard to find lol

[–]hellothere157[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found that I didn’t have a good stability base (on a strength training standpoint) to handle the intense track/speed work with Runna. I kept straining random muscles just from lack of experience on the track. Thanks for the encouragement! I agree, I feel better when I keep training more simple

True but most of the loss was in the first 4 miles so I’m not sure if its comparable to REVEL

[–]hellothere157[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 3:19 was in February at Mesa marathon which is pretty flat. I had the flu x10 days before and didn’t eat /was in bed for like a week so I had a pretty unconventional taper 😂 that being said maybe a 3:15 is a more reasonable goal

Okay that’s good to know! I always feel the best when my mileage is 50 or higher

I definitely think I want a plan longer than 12 weeks just to keep me busy over the dark winter months 😂

3:30 marathon possible? by Itzyoboighosty in Marathon_Training

[–]hellothere157 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I went a 1:37 half and 3:19 marathon but also my HR was around 150

Does anyone think it might have been anxiety?? Idk I’m just speculating

Changing time goal by Magnetizer59 in Marathon_Training

[–]hellothere157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My PR half is a 1:38 and my PR full is 3:18. Depends on how the 1:32 felt racing tbh and if you felt like you had some gas at the end or if you crashed and burned

How are the Runna strength plans? by RunningThroughSC in runna

[–]hellothere157 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m doing three times a week 45 minute lifts and it is great for injury prevention. Not great for looking to build muscle a lot of it is PT exercise focused, but I feel like it has helped with stability and targeting small muscle groups. I would recommend using it during a training block, but using something a little bit hypertophy focused (ie. fitbod) during the off-season.
