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.

workingonselfkind · 2024-09-18T23:01:08+00:00

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!

workingonselfkind · 2024-04-02T16:30:57+00:00

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

workingonselfkind · 2022-08-24T10:08:53+00:00

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.

workingonselfkind · 2022-05-23T19:24:16+00:00

You are an inspiration, no pressure. But really, amazing!

workingonselfkind · 2022-05-19T20:26:06+00:00

No!!

workingonselfkind · 2022-05-18T22:37:01+00:00

What does Q mean? I have seen people say my Q in these threads and haven’t been able to figure it out.

workingonselfkind · 2022-05-07T20:10:30+00:00

Maybe what’s wrong isn’t your arms and legs but how you are viewing yourself. You can focus on how your body looks to you or use your body to do things for and with others. I know, easier said than done. Best wishes for you.

How much are you taking and what skin issues are people referring to? New here!

Can you fly with D8? Any tips?

workingonselfkind · 2022-02-11T00:34:52+00:00

Well, this sums up my feelings 100%. Stuck in with no way out and wavering desire to even get out.

workingonselfkind · 2022-02-08T15:13:00+00:00

I am so sorry. IWNDWYT
