Just a girl out there trying not to run with burning eyes or an electrolyte imbalance.

T-minus two weeks til my marathon training block kicks off and the mileage starts to climb- these “shorter” long runs are helping to build my base AND my confidence, since it’s been 12 years since I’ve run any further than 13.1.

Fuel intake for this run- aiming for an average of 70g of carbs and 600mg of sodium per hour of exercise. Hit the carbs bang on, sodium was a little high (~1250mg for 1:50 of running) but I felt good! I definitely needed to carry more water with me, though- 16oz over 1:50 wasn’t quite enough.

Everything I ate & drank during a 14-mile training run!

I’ve got some simplifying to do because as much fun as I’m having Frankenstein-ing my fuel plan each week (I love variety!) I know it’s going to get a bit hairy when accounting for a full marathon worth of carbs and electrolytes.

Hourly goal was 70-75gcarbs and 700mg of sodium. I ended up a bit higher on sodium than I meant to (900mg/hr) so I’ll pull back on that for next week! Carbs were an average of 68g/hour, so almost bang on.

Trying to hit my target electrolytes is my biggest challenge right now- pickle juice has been helpful (420 mg in one bottle), but as a salty sweater, I still have to account for additional salt on top of that to hit my goal. I might try salt pills at some point t during this training block, just to simplify things!

Fuel timing breakdown:
Pre-run: one serving of NOOGS
0:15- SaltStick
30:00- Precision Fuel, one Clif Blok chew, half a pickle juice
45:00- Salt Stick
1:00- Amacx Drink Gel, one Clif Blok chew, half a pickle juice
1:30- Maurten 100, two Clif Blok chews, half a pickle juice
1:45- SaltStick
2:00- NOOGS chews, two Clif Blok chews, half a pickle juice
2:15- SaltStick
Water and LiquidIV throughout

“Well…the wind’s not going to blow you there.”

A weekend away with my family previewing a new luxury Airbnb in central Virginia and you know I packed my running shoes- running on vacation is one of my favorite ways to get miles in!

But lol the hills.

First partnership: unlocked 🔐

I’m so excited to be a Sponsored Athlete with @thefeed!!

I was already the girl who wouldn’t stop talking about carbs and hydration because I spent YEARS running hungry and dehydrated. I know firsthand what a difference it makes to finally dial it in.

Now with even more resources and intel on deck, I’m excited to push harder and recover faster, especially in the middle of a marathon training block!

So to my runner friends, forgive me in advance for being the person to send unsolicited recommendations for NOOGS, Mortal Hydration, and Enervit Magic Cherry. You’ve been warned.

“Never have I ever run with a water bladder”
*Puts one finger down.*

I’ve somehow made it through three full and seven half marathon training cycles without ever testing out a water bladder, but that claim ends now! Because apparently 13.1 is the breaking point where “I’ll just carry a couple of flasks” no longer cuts it.

I actively avoided the bladder- the sloshing sounds I’d hear from other runners drove me nuts- but I gotta say, it definitely has a time and place.

Sorry, gonna need to tell summer to hang on a bit longer because I will be running in nothing but this until further notice.

@emieactive you knocked it out of the park AGAIN! This Pink Lemonade kit is perfection! And the new phone pocket is exactly what I’ve been hoping for. Four total pockets in the crop, plus four in the shorts= ENDLESS carb carrying potential! by @abbyrunsonmagic

Turns out you can just… leave your house and start running???

Our ancestors were so brave.

(Fear not, I located my @corosglobal- left it at the chiropractor!)

💔 Broke up with gels for my 12-miler for a chance to try out some new chews! I used to be super intimidated by the fuel shelf at my local run store so I kept buying the same gels and chews over and over, which turned fueling into a boring necessity. Experimenting with different brands, textures and flavors makes it FUN!

The lineup for this long run:
0:30- @clifbar Clif Bloks Sour Strawberry Lemonade
1:00- @honeystinger Energy Chews
1:30- @noogsofficial Sour Energy Chews

Heads up, @thefeed has an 8-pack of their best-selling chews if you want to try something new but don’t know where to start!

Week 2/20 (or is it 1/19?)

And nope, you didn’t miss week 1 because it didn’t happen, courtesy of a grumpy SI joint.

Nothing like cutting your first run of a training block short so you can hop in the car to visit your chiropractor instead. But week 2 is already proving to be a good one, so let’s lock the heck in and get after it.

Running + trying not to gag is an art only few have managed to perfect, but I gave it my best go during this weekend’s long run. 11-miler made perfect when an unexpected guest showed up during my last mile!

Breakdown of the gels I took on this run:
15 min before: Precision Fuel 30
0:30- PF30
1:00- Amacx Drink Gel
1:30- Gu

Fuel from @thefeed, my absolute go-to. Their “Ultimate Gel” sampler pack is *perfect* for anyone looking to try out new flavors and textures- it’s how I was first introduced to @precisionfandh and @amacxsportsnutrition, both of which I’ve continued to use!

Not sponsored, but it’s on my goals list 😏.
