Tomorrow looks like a good day for a run😎☀️🏃🏼‍♀️I’m jumping into the @bostonsruntoremember 5 miler. Woohoo!🎉 No expectations or anything. I’ve decided I’ll be running blind and see how my body feels after these last 6 weeks of serious marathon recovery (aka 4 runs since CoDel on 4/14). Hopefully I feel better than I did during the marathon!🤪But I’m even more excited for tomorrow because one of my athletes is running the half marathon and I’m really excited to cheer her on and see her crush it💪🏼 #StrongestSelf
4 mile progression run today to make it my longest run since Coastal Delaware Marathon! Yup, 4 miles! And my quads are sore!!!🤣 I gave myself ample recovery time after the marathon because life outside of running had put me into serious “overtrain” mode. My body revolted during the marathon, and after the race it needed a couple hours each day to just do nothing, and marathon recovery made that possible for me. For the first 3 weeks after the race, I had to lie down, rest, and read during that time. I couldn’t do stuff around our apartment or even go for a walk. My body and mind said NO🖐🏼🛑 . After 3 weeks, I slowly started walking when my body and mind felt ready. A little over a week ago, I went on my first run since the race (2 miles). This past weekend I hit 3 miles, then 4 today. The rest of the week will be easy runs, walks, and resting for me, but my body has gotten and will continue to get the rest it needs. I have an idea of what I’d like to do in the fall and being smart right now will benefit me in the long run! I’m very excited for a summer of running😊
I turned on my Garmin for the first time in 5 weeks! We needed a break but we’re getting back together now💗 3 miles @ 8:17 avg pace in 70 degrees, and I was sucking some serious wind😰🥵Wow, I am definitely not in 26.2 shape (or any shape?🤔) that’s for sure🤣 I have four more weeks until summer vacation and my running schedule will continue to be a “run whenever I want to” kindof thing with more running on the weekends than during the work week until vacation starts. I’m so happy with how I’ve approached marathon recovery and how I’ve avoided injuries. No Instagram comparison here👋🏼 If I fell for the “comparison trap” I would’ve been running consistently for a month now since Coastal Del Marathon on 4/14. Don’t fall for it, do what’s best for YOU! How you recover from a marathon will directly impact your next training cycle. Getting back at it slowly but steadily👍🏼
Yes, today was my first time to Trader Joe’s. Yes, I got the Cauliflower Gnocchi and Vegan Kale Cashew & Basil Pesto🤤 Yes, I made Kyle document it😜
So proud to be on the @healthylivingholly Podcast!😊 We have an honest conversation about marathon training while dealing with all of life’s stressors, my battle with an eating disorder, and my coaching business Strongest Self. I loved speaking with Holly. She is kind, thoughtful, and easy to talk to. Please give it a listen! The link is in both of our profiles. #healthylivingholly
Happy Mother’s Day to my beautiful Momma🌸💐💗
