This spring, I set off on an unconventional mission, with the coaching of Jason Fitzgerald, to run my fastest 5km this fall, run a strong JFK50, and prepare for a marathon personal best in the spring of 2027.

First step accomplished 👊

Today, on a beautiful morning, race a 5km race averaging 4:00/km … a bit long, and some tough trails to navigate in super shoes with little traction. But took in some hardware 🥈

Three things that got me here:
- ran more mileage these past 20 weeks
- ran hard workouts, consistently each week
- strength trained the core, 2-3x per week

Now there’s many little things that helped me hold a pace that I only dreamt of. And one is Thrive Protein creatine 5g everyday. 💪 🧠

I love reading runners post their marathon personal bests, and let’s bring back posting fast races (all race distances)

In the last two weeks, this older, amateur, underdog has set personal bests in the 400m, 800m, 1km, 1-mile, 2-mile, and now 5km … at the age of nearly 49.

What’s stopping you?

Thank you to my cheer squad @jennifermarentette
