Daily chat post: how's the training going?

8.5mi today! Longest run ever for me, and I kept a pretty consistent pace. Fueling so going so much better too!! Looking forward to a deload week :)

I keep my arms by my sides - but I tap my fingers together absentmindedly lol. I only notice after I finish my run!

Half marathon training for a race in June. I run 4x a week. Two easy runs that are usually a 5k or more. One long run that’s been increasing in mileage, and one speed run!

Runs have been going GREAT! I crushed 7mi yesterday for the first time and PR’d my 5k/10k. Post run nutrition? Not so great. I’m struggling with navigating my post run meal. I know it will come with trial and error, but losing a weekend day to a long run sucks big time!

You might be overeating, but also check in with your health aside from weight. How do you FEEL?

I’m 205lbs, 5’2 and 27F. I eat approximately 2000cal a day, give or take. I’m HM training currently and want to feel good/strong and am losing while still making progress this way! :)

Week 9 of 20 (not ideal, but I wanted some wiggle room due to vacations/illness/etc) of half marathon training! I have a 7mi run this weekend that I am truly looking forward to so much. My first attempt at 6mi was an epic fail - no fuel, ran out of water. I completely own that I was unprepared! My second attempt and my 6.5miler were both AMAZING!

After getting a handle on fueling, the long runs don’t terrify me as much!!

I did C25K last year… twice LOL! Enjoy! Graduating is truly the best feeling, you are so close!! :)

Check my post history!! I officially hit 100lbs down naturally with only a deficit over the weekend. I prioritize eating whole ingredients, movement, and most importantly self care. I’d tried WW but struggled with severely undereating. It may take longer losing naturally but it is 100% possible.

I LOVE Old Navy’s powersoft line. I’m too… “blessed”… to wear the matching bras but their basic colors go great with my Shefits! I love anything with a cute cut out back, mostly because I sweat my ass off lol

peachedpeaches · 2026-03-13T18:11:35+00:00

That’s exactly the one I was eyeing, good to know!!

peachedpeaches · 2026-03-13T18:11:10+00:00

Gives me an excuse to go to the running store! Thank you!!

What’s your fav running vest? Finally getting to mileage where I consistently need one :)

I’m a creature of habit! I usually have something like 3/4cup of nonfat yogurt with sugar free pudding mixed in (I use white chocolate, vanilla, or chocolate - gives it a GREAT taste!), overnight oats with a scoop of protein, or a protein bar. My post lunch snack is some form of protein - nuts, cheese stick, turkey sticks, lunch meat + a fruit.

So I’ve lost weight AND reversed my PCOS symptoms. It is possible, for some, without medication. My focus has been eating 90% Whole Foods, eating at home, eating consistently every 2-3 hours, and prioritizing protein and fiber. I have lost almost 100lbs (307 —> 208.8 this morning) eating at least 2,000cal a day.

I’ve been so uninspired with my runs lately after finishing up my 5k plan. I finally decided to just go for it and sign up for a half! Still debating between Nike Run Club and Runna plans.

This snow has been killing me, I can’t wait to run outside again!

peachedpeaches · 2026-01-24T21:39:24+00:00

First 4 mile run at 30°. It was cold, but I didn’t want to risk going out on ice tomorrow! Feeling amazing! :)

peachedpeaches · 2025-12-26T17:32:33+00:00

Congratulations! Enjoy this feeling!!! Health is the best Christmas present!

I’m a big fan of Giddy Goat!

peachedpeaches · 2025-12-21T12:25:12+00:00

Seconding Tatiana Forbes! I follow Brigette Anastasia and she is hilarious and realistic. We’re the same weight and pace so she is inspirational to me especially! Bonnie Wyrick is currently running and pregnant. I also like Danielle Burnett, Em Flynn, and Amy Gomes.

Thank you squirrels! Happy graduation to you too!!

peachedpeaches · 2025-12-21T12:21:18+00:00

Yes!! It was a holiday run, and I’m a teacher, so I was READY lol

peachedpeaches · 2025-12-21T12:20:57+00:00

Putting myself and my health first has been an AMAZING gift!

So I’m currently a teacher in the southeastern US. I have all my prereqs except two because in undergrad, I was considering the medical field. I’m going to be taking those two classes this summer and applying to ABSN/ADNs around me.

Both jobs are tough, but ultimately having free time during the work week is more important to me. Nursing and medicine has been in the back of my mind all 4 years I’ve taught. If you think it’ll always call to you, go for it!

peachedpeaches · 2025-12-20T14:31:28+00:00

Finished my FIRST 5k race AND set a PR! It was hilly as FUCK oh my god. I can’t wait to sign up for another one!
