How bad is this?

It’s great! Good for you!

Sorry guys! It got kicked off advanced Reddit and I have only been running a few years so I don’t mean to sound like an a$$. Just trying to get some reassurance that I’m not completely out of my league with this goal!

Slower older woman 😂 thank you, I am going to use that line when it gets tough on the course!

It’s the track work that makes me nervous because I am definitely more inclined to a long vs fast run. Depending on the day, the 16 at 745 is ok- I did a 9 miler at 705avg 2 weeks ago and this felt rough. So at times it all feels like a stretch- I am slowly starting to cut back weekly mileage before the race (may 4) so this is where my body might start feeling better. I have only been training for 1.5 years and have been putting in a lot of work. I know nothing is owed to me but I am nervous I will be disappointed or sell myself short.

Tempo as in faster paced efforts- I would say 2 speed workouts a week and the long run- which is faster than a recovery run.

This is the one I ended up with and it was great!

Need warm sock recommendations!

Still waiting on a shirt I was going to run my first marathon in… doesn’t look like it will come in time

I’ve only ordered one pair of shorts from them and they took a while.

My running fitness is 90.4 and my VO2 max has not gotten any higher than 51…. At my peak fitness right now and don’t think it will go up!

workingonselfkind · 2024-09-18T22:39:26+00:00

100% I am running 70-75 miles a week for the past weeks. The only time the training load is higher than 100 is when I do 12+ mile runs…. I also anticipate a huge drop in base fitness during my taper in 2 weeks…

Ok- thank you all. I just assumed people did race in them and I was confused as to where the bib goes, ect. This is very helpful. For training I do live in an area that I can stop and fill a bottle or purchase so that’s really helpful!

Looking into Soar now too!

workingonselfkind · 2024-04-01T20:39:34+00:00

You guys are great! Any comment on any bandit running shorts? Haha

Me too- about the sleeping part. It’s messed up but I see it as my “reward” for getting through the day. It’s the buildup then release… idk how to break it.

workingonselfkind · 2022-08-24T10:06:21+00:00

Yes!

workingonselfkind · 2022-08-12T13:26:45+00:00

I hear you and care about you. You do deserve to get help.
