The last of my training schedule before the race next Sunday. Just a short long-ish run, a bunch of 3 milers and then a pre-race shakeout run. I donāt know how Iām going to handle not running 8 or more miles before work on those run days...and Iām going to apologize to everyone in advance for my taper crazies. ā¢ My goal race is the Glass City Marathon, the course where I last PRād in the marathon distance. The second pic is from that race, after I crossed the finish line and realized a) I had PRād and b) knew I would be in a world of pain for days. š£That was 5 years ago and Iāve been trying to PR there ever since. Instead of doing the same old plan is been using for years, I decided that to get to my goal I was going to have to do something different. ā¢ Iāve never done a training plan like this before in the @myrunplan app with all these crazy long runs during the week (a half marathon before work one day OMG). I was really resistant to the idea of all this mileage when I first saw the plan, but every time I wanted to quit or stop a run early this is what went through my mind: āAre you tired of having bad marathons? Then do the run.ā I mean, what Iād been doing before for training wasnāt working for me, with all the skipping workouts and eating crap. Just doing one run turned into #runalltheruns, which has slowly turned into āMan...I think I can do this. I think I can crush my goal time.ā Iāve never been this confident going into a race, so hereās to all my 3 AM wake-up calls and crazy before-work double digit runs pay off on race day. ā¢ ā¢ ā¢ ā¢ ā¢ ā¢ #facetiouslyfit #fitfam #fitnessjourney #fitspiration #marathontraining #marathonrunner #womensrunningcommunity #runnerscommunity #runnersofinstagram #runblogger #halfmarathon #justdothething #runallthemiles #glasscitymarathon #running #runners #instarunners #igotthis https://www.instagram.com/p/BwcRW2tB6AR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13p3jqz3vo3in
