We are officially in the taper phase of this training block. It’s probably my favorite phase outside of the initial base building phase just kicking off because it’s full of excitement! The middle is eeh because you build your mileage and it’s often the mundane of long runs and mental testing. But all that said, getting to this point in training is extremely rewarding!

I’ve been mentally and physically challenged during this training cycle. From sleepless nights with the littles to stroller runs and lots of snacks, to life in general. Anyone that’s trained for long distance running knows it takes a lot. Not just from you but from those who are supporting you too (thankful for the hubby keeping the kiddos on Saturday mornings so I can do my long runs).

As we lead up to race week it’s all about recovery and backing down on mileage but keeping intensity… today we did an easy 3.63 miles | 36 minutes. That being said I’ve got speed work later in the week then an easy 8 miles this weekend. Then it’s Race Week! 😎

This past Saturday morning I completed my 20 mile long run in preparation for TCS New York City Marathon! Here’s to the taper / the home stretch of training 🫶🏼

It’s been a wild fifteen weeks full of stroller runs and walks, hills and more hills, strength training, mental and physical endurance, heat and humidity, smiles and some toddler tears, LOTS of snacks, and fun if you want to call it that. Here’s to the final three weeks of training!

👉🏼 If you’ve ever trained for a marathon, what’s your favorite and least favorite parts?!

✨ Are you ready to take on the marathon for the first time?! If you are but not sure where to start comment “First Time” below and I’ll help you out!

HOT AND HUMID.
The heat and humidity have really been coming out in full force this week and my face let’s you know how I feel about it 🤪

Some KEY training tips for this heat:
1. Hydration!! Water and Electrolytes.
2. Know the signs of heat stroke and heat exhaustion. (See the second photo)
3. Don’t over do it. Duration and Intensity may need to be adjusted! Slowly acclimate to the weather, don’t go out and do too much too fast.

If you have some ways you like to acclimate or take precautions drop it in the comments 👊🏼

Be safe! (And sweat on 🥵)

When you forget to post… enjoy my week three recap of TCS New York City Marathon training as I kick off week FOUR 😝 we’re just getting started but trying my best to keep it fun each week! Pushing the kiddos most runs is no joke but I wouldn’t trade it 💜

Ever wondered the importance behind the LONG RUNS during training?

👊🏼 The main reason is for building up your confidence to run a longer distance. This helps mentally prepare you for running the race!

👉🏼 Long Runs also help you condition your body for the race distance you’re training for. When training you should gradually increase your long run distance and weekly mileage; an abrupt increase in mileage and distance can quickly lead to injury. To train smart aim for gradual increase of weekly mileage. Going into any training block, it is important to have a base established.

Depending on the race distance determines your long run goals. A build up over weeks leads to a peak long run and then a taper starts about three weeks before your race.

Pace also plays into your long run training. Most should be ran at an easy pace; 30-90 seconds slower than race pace. Occasionally running faster long runs or a race training run in the middle of your training plan can help prepare you too!

If you have a race coming up and need help, reach out! I’m happy to help you build your custom training plan or help coach you and give tips as you train. Aim for 16-20 weeks of training leading up to your race for proper training.

Some days my workout consists of uphill walks with my cute “weighted vests.”

As a mom life gets busy and some days survival mode is in full swing. A workout doesn’t always have to be a run, lifting dumbbells, or a walk in the park - it can be whatever you make it! Be flexible and have some fun with it. Get the kiddos involved. 🫶🏼

Stressing about getting that ideal workout in used to get the best of me and it honestly took the fun out of it. I’ve found that some days I just have to embrace the chaos, strap the girls on and walk around the property. Most the time I don’t even track this workout because mentally I just needed to move. Getting caught up on distance distracts me from just being in the moment.

If you’re a busy mom struggling to get in that ideal workout (what’s ideal anyway?!). I encourage you to just strap the babe(s) and get outside - just move your body! And the fresh air is an added mood booster 😘

What’s some ways you make workouts fun with your kiddos?? ⬇️ comment below ⬇️

It’s chaos but I wouldn’t trade it! Working out with a toddler and baby often means breaks, meltdowns, tears, feeding breaks, chasing, and whatever else. I still CHOOSE to workout. It makes me feel better. Stay strong to carry the babes. And mentally gives me the strength to carry on through the toughest days/moments.

Sometimes putting the shoes on is the hardest part…

A million excuses may run through your mind why you should go for that run or that you don’t have time… whatever the reason, put them on anyway. Lace up and just get moving! The rest tends to fall into place and be easier.

On days I struggling with getting my shoes on it’s often the best runs. Maybe not how I feel physically but rather emotionally.

Working. Being a mom. A wife. House cleaning. Laundry. Dishes. Birthday parties. And just keeping the calendar in check. It’s all a reason (or an excuse) to tell yourself you don’t have time today. ✋ Don’t let the excuses win! ✋

YOU ARE WORTH IT.

Prioritize your health. Make time for you. Set the boundaries. You are WORTHY of doing something for you.

It’s sooo easy to make excuses. To let the endless to-do list keep you busy. To worry about getting everything done or pleasing everyone else. STOP. Take a minute for you. Do the thing that brings you joy! Because by doing so, you show up better for the things and the people you love. 💜

Go for the run, momma. YOU deserve it.
