WE’RE BACK BABY 🎉
4 weeks ago I was venturing out for a 12 mile progression long run, that I ended up having to cut short, and walk 2.5 miles home.
My surgery ankle didn’t feel right and the pain I was feeling way too familiar. I truly thought that this was going to be a “get some manual work done and you’ll be good” situation, but it’s just taken some more time & im honoring what my body is telling me.
Which is why I’ve made the decision to pull out of Grandma’s Half. Of course I’m bummed, but at the same time REALLY don’t want to force this build back.
On a positive note, this was my first GREAT week start to finish. 19 miles total with a 7 mile long run and two of the days had a few surges mixed in to see how it felt!
Yesterdays 7 mile run felt SO GOOD from and ankle and energy perspective despite the heat and humidity. I know my long run was “just” an hour, but, I know the contributor of my energy levels feeling good was from consuming enough carbs and electrolytes.
Which leads my to a go-to feature on my
@corosglobal pace 3… The nutrition alert! 🚨 I use this feature on my long runs, longer speed sessions if I use gels vs liquid carbs, and during my races (loved it during my marathon last year)!
You set the timer, which then alerts you every XX minutes! This feature is so nice because it helps me plug away on my run, and not have to worry about keeping tabs on when to fuel (I fuel based on time instead of mileage due to reccomendarions given from RD’s).
Yesterday I consumed 18oz fluids, 430mg sodium & 59g carbs on my ~60min run & felt good! (PS. Nutrition is so individualized so please connect with an RD if you want to dive into what may be best for you)!
I can just tell I’m on the tail end of this thing and am happy to keep building back. I’m not making any back up race plans until I know it’s behind me (I hate stressing over timelines), but I’m confident I’ll be able to come up with something soon! 🥰
