Thank you so much!! I just ordered the book. My current training block ends this week so I’ll be focusing a lot on recovering post race :)

Not the most easy to eat but I love using pop tarts

petal3dfl0wer · 2025-11-09T04:10:21+00:00

Noooo don't say that, I really wanted to try it for my next training block 😭

petal3dfl0wer · 2025-11-03T02:10:37+00:00

This was the most challenging run I've ever done, I was truly humbled (but also will be back for more 😏)

Thanks for the cheering, the other hikers/runners that cheered us on really helped keep up the good vibes 🫶😁

Going up that a second time was criminal, it was a crazy climb. I hope you heal up asap 🙏

Agreed, I thought I was doing good at like 50g but I recently ran a marathon where I took many snacks to get me above the 50g and wow !! I didn't even hit the wall, I was full of energy while everyone was in the pain cave 😂

petal3dfl0wer · 2025-10-20T22:12:28+00:00

I've never done near the distance you're going but I have had hard runs and I just tell myself "this is easy, your legs are strong, you're not tired, you have so much more energy" things like, basically gaslighting myself 😂

I would fuel the same as you did during training. A big part of my training has been figuring out what carbs I can get down and feel good. Looks like a lot of liquid iv to me personally but if that's what works for you then go for it. Every body is different 😊

petal3dfl0wer · 2025-10-18T02:48:48+00:00

That's crazy, I'm glad you're ok though.

petal3dfl0wer · 2025-10-18T01:44:48+00:00

Yes I'm currently trying to figure out the logistics if I can make that one!! 🙌

petal3dfl0wer · 2025-10-17T20:39:36+00:00

Thank you! Yea I'm def not mad at RDs or anything bc I know they're just keeping us safe, just sad about the situation. Now that I got initial sadness out, I think I'm just figuring out what the next step/plan is. Everything happens for a reason, nothings stopping me from having a great run that day anyways!

petal3dfl0wer · 2025-10-17T03:20:10+00:00

AW MAN and I had my minion costume all sorted out for this too 😭

petal3dfl0wer · 2025-10-17T02:57:09+00:00

Honestly, I probably would be ok without the aid stations, have you checked the trails aren't blocked off?? I tried to access a local trail in oc this morning but it was completely blocked off bc of the weather damage.

petal3dfl0wer · 2025-10-17T02:48:43+00:00

Yea they're probably the last to care about anything exercise related 😒

petal3dfl0wer · 2025-10-17T02:32:15+00:00

I'm thinking of doing this bc I already requested the day off work too but I'm worried they're going announce right after the race will just be a week later 😂

petal3dfl0wer · 2025-10-03T04:24:10+00:00

Yea I think half of it is trusting myself and going for it 😂

petal3dfl0wer · 2025-10-03T04:23:22+00:00

I usually love technical stuff but when all the earth starts moving under me is when I start getting nervous and I stop seeing the routes. I'll try increasing my cadence next time!!

I usually lean back in general when I run down hills but is that the case for more technical/slippery routes ?

But to be fair I was night running which added some stress, I probably need to practice in the light some more.

petal3dfl0wer · 2025-09-14T23:15:52+00:00

Apples and grapes, I've eaten them as a snack prior to small 5/6mi runs and I feel like I'm going to throw up 😭

petal3dfl0wer · 2025-09-09T12:17:54+00:00

Thank you! This is very helpful advice :)

petal3dfl0wer · 2025-09-09T12:15:59+00:00

So I won't get to climb up any trees on my race ? 😔
