Only took me 5 years to PR, but I think I have finally *started* to figured it out ‼️

#chicagomarathon #girlswhorun #mindset #motivation #chimarathon

Yes, I definitely had a better training plan this time around with more speed work and marathon paced long runs but the biggest difference this training block was actually sticking to my plan. There is no secret workout that will drop your time after one workout, it’s showing up everyday week after week.

#consistency #marathonworkout #marathontraining

To be fair, I didn’t LOVE every single workout I had to do this training block but I actually enjoyed my goals. This time around I was excited to get faster and see just how fast I was going.

NGL, I only like 60% believed that I was gonna be able to run this fast but having so many people who believed I was capable to do it (and telling everyone so I couldn’t really back out) gave me so much confidence during race weekend 💪🏽💪🏽

Unfortunately, no amount of training is gonna make mile 24 magically feel easier. I was running faster but with the correct training I knew how it was gonna feel (to an extent) and I had trained to keep running even when it got hard.

Well, this one took me a second to learn. The reality is most people don’t run marathons, and the work you put in for the past 18 weeks isn’t magically something you shouldn’t be extremely proud of even if you didn’t hit your goal time. To be so honest, 6 month ago I would have never even imagined I could have run anywhere close to what I ran in Chicago and now it’s time to keep getting faster 🫡

CHICAGO RACE RECAP: 3:01

Miles 1–6: started off a little bit slower to hopefully have energy to kick it at the end (spoiler: it did not work) and wrote my splits down so I just paid attention to the elapsed time and looked out for the mile/km markers (I kept missing the mile and km markers so I actually had no idea how fast I was running and thought I ran an 8 minute mile and started tweaking 🤪)

Miles 7–13: started manually lapping my watch but STILL kept missing markers, I wasn’t 100% sure if I was on pace

Miles 14–21: finally locked in to find mile markers, hit my paces, and felt like I could keep going.

Miles 22–26.2: well… this is where my legs started to hurt and my pace started to slow down. I didn’t want to look at my time so I actually had no idea how close I was to my goal because I didn’t want to give up if I knew it was out of reach. Idk if knowing that I was a lot closer than I thought it would have made me push harder but I really think I gave it all I had at the end.

Seeing my finish time SUCKED, and a few tears were shed. But we are so back. Miami in 16 weeks ‼️ Might practice this thing called “fueling” on my long runs this time.

Most importantly!!! Soooo grateful to everyone who encouraged me, ran with me, and believed in me 🫶🏽 Shout out @myolympiccoach @runningwithlucho (Group 1 you guys are THE BEST!!!), and @sarah.mcclure for being the best Marathon Mom all weekend!!!! by @runbysof
