Why Everyone Should Run A Marathon Someday

Maybe marathons aren't for everyone, but they are a great example of something that can push you out of your comfort zone. Here are 10 reasons everyone should run a marathon, or do something that challenges them.

I started running marathons in 2011, and a few years later I wrote this post about why everyone should run a marathon someday. I wanted to bring it back because I still agree with this. However, like I said in the original post, a big goal doesn't necessarily need to be running a marathon. It doesn't even need to be about running. It's about finding your own version of this- something that will challenge you in ways you ... Read the Post...

The Benefits of Pelvic Floor PT for Pregnant and Postpartum Runners

During both of my pregnancies I went to a pelvic floor PT starting around 30 weeks or so. I had a very different experience each time, the second being much better. I found it so helpful that I decided to go back again after having my baby and before I started running again. Pelvic floor PT for pregnant and postpartum runners can be really beneficial for a variety of reasons and can help set you up for success with your long-term running goals.

5 Reasons to Run a Half-Marathon

What is your favorite race distance? I would say that my favorite distance to train for is the full marathon but I am much more comfortable with racing a half!

Are you thinking about training for a half-marathon? Here are 5 reasons to run a half-marathon. 5 Reasons to Run a Half-Marathon 1. The Half-Marathon is a Milestone Race The half-marathon is a milestone race for many runners. It seems like ...

Yesterday’s’ long run was 16 miles with 6 x 1 Yesterday’s’ long run was 16 miles with 6 x 1 mile MP/1 mile easy. I took a few hours of PTO in the morning to do this on the trail because I knew wouldn’t be able to do it this weekend. This was my first time on the trail since my marathon last November. It was nice to be back there and the perfect place to do this kind of long run. It was the kind of run where you start thinking “ok cool I just did a tough MP workout” but then you remember you actually need to run 26 miles in a row at that pace. Luckily there’s still 9 more weeks of training…although that doesn’t really sound like that much!
41 miles for the week and got in 2 strength sessions. Taking it easy this weekend other than chasing the kids around for all their activities! #run #marathontraining #longrun
It’s kind of freeing to not care about pace. It It’s kind of freeing to not care about pace. It is a little frustrating to have to plan more time for an easy run. But it’s definitely worth it to recover quicker and feel better on workout days! #run #marathongtraining #easyrun
You know marathon training is starting to get real You know marathon training is starting to get real when you start losing track of what training week it is. I had to check my calendar but this was week 6, so 10 weeks to go! 

I ran the Charles Street 12 last weekend so this week was all about easy miles and recovering from the race. That went well until I went and ran all the hills yesterday followed by walking around a maze and fun park for 5 hours. I got in some strength and mobility this morning and now I’m back to focusing on recovery!

If you’re training for a race how many weeks do you have left?

15 miles, over 1,100 feet of elevation gain, and 9 15 miles, over 1,100 feet of elevation gain, and 91% humidity 🫠 Pretty sure that was harder than my race last weekend, but got it done. Now off to my second workout of the day- taking the kids to an outdoor fun park. RIP to my legs. 
What are you up to this weekend?
