The Running Thread --2025

[LatebloomerultraF3]

August running:
-199.99 miles still my highest month ever
-time 37:34:10
-only 6 strength training sessions

The weather finally turned and it has definitely made a difference in my pace, so much so that I went out crazy fast on my 18 miler today and crashed and burned at mile 16. Only 5 weeks until my race, still hanging in there with the training!

Good work!

August- 119 miles

Kinda falling apart on the strength training a bit towards the end, but I am just out of energy and trying to take the extra rest. I am now into the taper which I am going to try to do properly for once.

I have stopped cutting and tracking calories to make sure I am fueled properly and will try for at least one strength session this week and next.

I haven’t had a day off since at least July 14, but I finally get one this coming Sunday, so yay, I’ve only got 6 miles to do that day, then I can futz with my car

August:
Total miles: 123.5
Avg pace: 8:44

my average pace belies how bogged down i've been feeling. my outdoor runs have been incredibly slow, like barely over a walk - struggling to maintain a 10:00 pace. i've had to stop several times in the middle of treadmill runs. just tired. not sure what's going on and i'm very frustrated.

August:
152.5 miles
25 runs
10k trail race where I took 1st in my age group

Pretty good month! I'm on my last build week of my half marathon training, then its 2 weeks of taper, race, 1 week recover, 2 weeks reverse taper and marathon training block starts October 12th. As insane as this makes me feel to say, Dopey has become a series of training runs while I focus on my A race on Feb 14th for postpartum BQ attempt #3. Third times the charm?

Thanks for all the shoe recommendations! I'm looking into Superblasts and Novablasts. Any other recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
