📍Colosseum run ✅ 

A lap outside is about 600m. Go early before it gets crowded. 

It’s a run that deserves a place in your running bucket list.

Happy Medal Monday! @berlinmarathon 

I don’t drink beer, but I made sure to celebrate with local 🇩🇪 Grauburgunder. Prost!

16 weeks, 781km ✅ 

Only 42.2km more to go! 🎯

My road to #Berlin started with the most incredible run views in Sardinia, during an Italian vacation. 

Then Texas, where I live. Even got a treadmill because the summer heat in the Dallas area is something you can’t quite grasp until you actually endure it.

Unfortunately, in mid-July, I couldn’t run for several days due to injury. That’s why #myRoadToBerlin mileage is much lower in comparison to my two previous marathon builds. I won’t be chasing a PB on Sunday.

But I’ll be chasing that blue line beyond the Brandenburg Gate, and I’ll have a blast. 

Actually, I’m already having a blast! 

I landed last Sunday (to better adjust to the 7h time zone difference). I already have a fave running spot in town, the path along the Spree. 😍

This is my third time in Berlin, and every time I come here I love this city even more. 🫶

🎯 2 more sleeps @berlinmarathon

This is not the cliché “one-year progress” post of someone getting faster. It’s the reality of a runner learning to listen to an injured body.

First photo is from my Chicago build last year. Second photo is from yesterday. Slower, managing gluteal tendinopathy, trying to be patient.

Five weeks ago, a severe flare-up forced me to completely stop running. Thanks to rehab, my hip  pain is under control, as long as I don’t pick up the pace. 

Gluteal tendinopathy is aggravated by speed. I can’t risk a flare-up now, so I can’t even try to see what I could handle. 

It’s kinda weird not feeling completely wrecked from marathon training fatigue like in my previous builds. 

But it’s a good feeling knowing I’m doing all I can to toe the line in Berlin and face the beast.

Let’s never forget: a marathon is a beast. 

 🎯 5 weeks till @berlinmarathon

Got my marathon shoes!

This is the Alphafly 3. I ran my two previous marathons in the Alphafly 1 but with 200km in, it was time to retire it from road racing.

I actually tested and considered other brands, but I love the feel of Nike’s supershoes. I also have a Vaporfly (my fave shoe ever), Ultrafly (for trail racing) & Zoom Fly (super trainer).

Unfortunately, I’m injured (gluteal tendinopathy) and I’m running only low and slow miles due to hip pain. It’s heartbreaking, not the #RoadToBerlin I hoped.

Finish time expectations have definitely changed, but I’m still going to have an absolute blast in Berlin. And at least my feet are going to look & feel really good doing it. 

🎯 7 weeks till @berlinmarathon

I’m back from Italy but yes, there was no such a thing as a full rest day when marathon training while vacationing in #Sardinia.

What an incredible island for those who’re outdoorsy. 🫶

The stairs of Posada. 

Not on my marathon training plan, but probably good for it.

Fun fact: Posada is a medieval town built beneath a hilltop castle in Sardinia. Centuries ago, that type pf elevation helped residents spot approaching invaders. Good for defense, but just terrible for modern tourists trying to skip extra leg work. 😜
