Summary
This week’s Run With Me is a little different... I’m not running! 😱 After wrapping up my half marathon training block, I’ve got one week before my 16-week Chicago Marathon training cycle kicks off. So I’m soaking up the downtime, moving how I want to, when I want to, because I want to.
In this episode, I’m answering your questions and sharing updates on where I’m at mentally and physically heading into marathon training. We’re talking:
-Mental game tips
-Super shoes
-Mantras I’m using
-Training strategies
-Why I hired a running coach (yes, even coaches need coaches!)
-Plus a bunch of your submitted questions!
If you're curious about how to ease between training cycles, get ready for a marathon block, or just want to feel like you’re hanging out with me, this one’s for you.
Hit play, drop your questions in the comments, and let’s get ready to take on Chicago together!
