17 miles DONE!!!

17 is normally where I (briefly) mentally break in a marathon & usually is my most challenging long run of training BUT NOT THIS TIME!! 

Nothing too special about this run but it went decent & way better than last weeks 16, could have done without the wet feet though😂 

I keep telling myself your suffering now but come race day it’s gonna be cooler & no humidity. It’s all worth it. If I can survive 17 miles in a sauna I can survive any weather Chicago gives me!! 

& grateful to have a friend training for the same race who is the exact same pace as me, makes it a little less shitty out there

One more big build week until a much needed deload! 18 mile long run on deck this weekend😤

I’d rather get up & knock out my long run first thing in the weekend. I use Saturday to rest & recover # then Sunday I can sleep in & go do whatever I need to do for the weekend!

When I have the choice I’m always picking Saturday! 

Let me know which do you prefer?!

Unfortunately this is not a new thing for me. I do tend to get very anxious going into race day or various hard runs. I put a lot of pressure on myself & I really get in my head about things. 

This 14 miler really messed with my head. I knew I’ve done so many 14 milers but it had been a while since I last did one & 14 really isn’t even that big of a long run when you think about the entirety of marathon training. I’m not sure exactly why this one was psyching me out so much. 

When this happens to me, I do everything I can to set myself up for success, hydration, carb loading, rest, trying to relax & breath etc. I know the run is coming regardless & I have to at least try. Luckily this run was a strong run but I’ve had this anxiety before & it could be one of the worst runs of my life. (Just depends on the day). 

I want to remind you that this feeling happens to a lot of us. You may not see it often (don’t except another post like this from me) but it happens even with professionals. As humans we are our own biggest critic and strive to always become better. The pressure of that can be overwhelming. 

Set yourself up for success, protect your peace, & at least go and try the things that scare you bc you may suprise yourself. 

Last thing, this is why I’m hesitant to share my Chicago goal time bc I have a history of absolutely breaking down due to the pressure that I feel when I set such a large goal. I am torn between sharing & completely protecting my peace on it. 

With that, I feel good going into 17 tomorrow LOL #belowaveragerunning
