@LoveyChar I'm being funny here, but I'm not sure I'd take any of the brother-in-law's advice. No breakfast before a marathon? Just eat whatever worked for breakfast before your long training runs. There should be porta-potties along the route, and tummy trouble can have all kinds of causes (like dumping sugar and unknown sports drinks into an empty stomach while running). Oh but I guess if you only eat burritos and didn't actually DO those training runs, then yes, skip breakfast and go run a marathon
They had so many drink stations and people handing out snacks but the porti-potty situation was scarce, at least I think so. Lines were ridiculously long.
I ran a marathon last year where they technically had enough porti-potties (not many lines), but there were too many people using them and most of them were full and no longer functional by the second half of the race.
It was the first time I ever encountered that.
Oh geez, which leaves you with little choice...0 -

A wonderful, wonderful, wonderful spectator let me use her restroom when she saw me stop to check a full set of porti-potties. It's the kind of kindness you never forget!5 -

You are awesome @LoveyChar and thank you for booking in for 2021 which gives me hope I won't want to never run a step again after!
You're kind...but do NOT take my advice about the eating, not advice at all. Sleep, definitely. I should have laid down much earlier that night with a calmer mind.1 -

Does anyone sleep before a race? I know I never get more than 4 hours sleep before a race I care a lot about, no matter how much time I set aside!
I started checking your updates about the 30k mark and got really nervous when your pace dipped into the 17 minute range. It’s good to find out you were just having a little bit of fueling / stomach issue and not injured! It seems like that 20 mile mark is when a lot of first time marathoners hit the proverbial wall. But you took it easy for a bit and then got right back on track! I’m betting I’m not the only person on the thread who was waiting with bated breath!6 -
My running goals for 2020 are to build up endurance and speed while staying healthy. Strength goal - lose body fat and gain some muscle and work on flexibility.
February goal : 60 miles
Race: Cap 10K in April
Date/Distance:
2/1 - Yoga/strength day
2/2 – 7.1 miles
2/3 – Slow Flow Yoga
2/4 – 4.2 miles
2/5 – Walked 1.5 miles, Strength Circuit
2/6 – Ran 2.5 miles on treadmill, cycled at gym
2/7 – 3 miles
2/8 – Strength circuit, indoor cycle
2/9 – Walked 7 miles. Didn’t hurt too much and was nice to loosen up a bit.
2/10 – Yoga today, then PT (airrosti ) on the hip.
2/11 – walked 1.7 at Gym ( PT stretch routine) and treadmill/elliptical
2/12 – elliptical/cycle day
2/13 – PT Routine/Treadmill walk 1.5 miles
2/14 – walked 4.4 miles
2/15 – Yoga/gym day
2/16 – 7.1 mile run, with some walking
2/17-3.75 mile walk-flexor was sore!
2/18-4.25 mile run
Monthly total – 48.00 miles
Did my usual weekday 4 mile trail run before the cold front hits. (Texas version – we are babies here!) I walked a little to not stress out the hip flexor but all in all it felt pretty good. Hoping if I keep up the rolling, stretching and icing I will be able to manage future issues. Cheers!😎

@LoveyChar I hardly ever sleep well before a longer race. I've heard that's pretty common.1

@LoveyChar
I actually think he may try next years marathon...we shall see. It's such an investment of time when you have younger kids but now we have all the time in the world. I would like to shoot for the half....but really need to focus on preventing injuries....I am the least flexible person in the world (muscularly speaking). My husband said his marathon training was an exercise in injury prevention with some long runs thrown in here and there😂4 -

Also considered it because I want to run in Central Park.
I'm not sure that is reason enough to make the trek with two kids, but eventually we'll get there. I have a feeling this year, we will go south again and lay around on the beach.
I do think that everyone should visit New York City at least once in their lives, even though it drives me insane a lot of time living here.
I've also never run Central Park myself; it's about six miles from my apartment and I prefer to take running routes along the water through Queens, where I won't have to stop for traffic.
Central Park's race route has a killer hill that I'll have to tackle twice during the half, so I'm not looking forward to that, but the weather should be nice.6 -
Morning all.
I love listening to podcasts. I actually pay for the runcasts app on my watch. I tried Spotify but it didn't have half the casts I like to listen to, and the syncing took forever and ate my battery. And I constantly had to check it. Oh and the worst thing, when it finished a cast, it did not automatically play the next one, it just stopped. I mean what? Could have been a setting but couldn't find it. And premium Spotify is 3x what premium run casts is. Runcasts does exactly what I want, syncs easy and doesn't drain my battery.
Basically if you like to run, have a garmin with music, please support runcasts, I'm pretty sure it's just one guy and he nearly stopped doing it due to lack of support. I'm so glad he is still going. Oh and his tech support was great.
So Elton had to postpone again, till January next year! So had a lovely night away but heading back home soon. I'm sad but glad he's putting his health first. I did go for a run around the domain, it was lovely but my goodness it's hot and humid here today. Broke a sweat just walking out the door.

Awwwwww I love that you were tracking, thank you...I got a little bit lazy at the 17 and stayed that way until about 22 miles. Run/walk, run/walk but the push was off. I did run the last four as slow as it was. I won't get lazy again. I feel guilty for not being sore enough. I feel like I could have pushed just a little harder. Really. But I get mad enough at myself, and I'll push a little harder in the future. I don't think it was the best I could have done, sadly.3 -
@Avidkeo I never liked spotify. I've only tried it for mysic but it was awful and didn't work well much of the time. One of the podcasts I listen to went exclusive to Spotify and fans are pretty split on if they will listen.
I am not getting another app (and a bad one at that) for one podcast. I already have everything set up how I want on Stitcher. I've been using them since the beginning when it was like Stitcher, Apple or Google. So needless to say I'm no longer listening to that podcast lom2 -

Hindsight is ALWAYS 20/20.
In my opinion, it's better to have finished with a little left in the tank than to have tried to push it a little and injured yourself.
Learn lessons for next year, but don't dwell on them. You successfully completed your first marathon - that's what you should be thinking about and enjoying.7 -

Technically supposed to be a rest day, but that makes Friday also a rest day, and I'd like to move Saturday's run up... I am not so good at following plans.

Hey you're on it, though, racking up those miles and this is a short month! You go girl!!!0 -
I'm fascinated by all the options you guys listen to whilst you run. I just listen to the voices in my head.

Haha, I hope they're telling you good things!1 -
@Avidkeo Sorry you didn't get to see Elton. I hope he is okay.
My original plan for the day was to help with health screenings at a local elementary school and then come home and run. But, while there, the daycare I work at texted and needed me to work. I told them I'd come in when I got finished with the screenings. That meant I didn't eat lunch or drink much water all day. (I did eat a protein bar.) So, I opted to eat peanut butter toast after I got home and go for a treadmill walk. I figured I could handle that better than a run. Glad I did because I had to stop and stretch out a calf cramp after a little over a mile. I think a run would have been horrible. Three miles in today. Hopefully I can run tomorrow....I'm scheduled to be home all day. Yeah me!

I don't usually listen to podcasts when I run, only if it's a very short one. Podcasts are for commuting and for hiding behind in my very noisy open plan office! When I run, I listen to Zombies, Run!, which is tremendous fun!

I also listen to Zombies, Run! but it is getting annoying because I've been done and I just listen to the same stuff over and over again to get supplies and materials.0 -
@avidkeo - Sorry about Elton. Do they automatically transfer your tickets to the January concert or refund the money and you have to start all over?
@autumnblade75 - I don't think it matters much if you rearrange the plan to better fit your life. I did that all the time. Mostly just need to get in the requisite miles and rest days.
@johnisrunning and @Camaramandy648 - we used to love going to NYC when our daughter was younger. We had a great friend who knew so much about the architecture and the history and we would always walk around different parts of the city with him. Also all the good places to eat! We would wait in line at TKTS to get off price theater tickets and I have walked and run in Central Park. It is a really great, fun city!
@Scott6255 - you and I have similar heart rates. Mine is a touch lower at resting but I can't get it to 150 either.
I agree that the most important thing is to track your resting HR (an indication of recovery) and average and max HRs over time. You will see where you typically are and know if your body needs more rest, is struggling or maybe you are coming down with something. It can also alert you if there is something wrong.
I listen to music when I run and have a pretty extensive running playlist that I like. I use Spotify, love it and have never had an issue with it. I did get premium when it was $0.99 for the year and it still is... Also I don't download to my watch I connect and listen from my phone so that may be why I have no issues.
Time for a monthly question - What is your all time favorite place that you have run?
Mine is the National Mall in Washington DC followed closely by Fort Mason up to and over the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco!

0.99c! Woah! It's like $15nzd so around 10usd for a month here!
I also hope Elton is OK. Absolutely rather he cancel and get better than push through. Fortunately we keep the tickets, they just transfer to the new date, so I'll be hanging out for another year!
Excellent monthly question. I love running the walkway here in NP. It's a treat when I get to.2 -

That's disappointing. I'm not sure I like how Spotify run their business model. It feels a bit all or nothing. And agreed the app is awful. Shame about losing a favourite podcast. I'm one who gets fairly attached and actually support a few of my favourites on patreon - only at low levels mind lol.0 -
@johnisrunning
I love NYC probably because my son lives there! He went to college there and stayed. I told him to join a running group and train for a race so he might meet some running buddies or perhaps a girl. 😉. He runs along the Hudson as he lives on Wall st. I have run in the park on a Sunday and it was packed - never felt alone. So beautiful!
1 -
I thought I'd take the dog for a short run as a warm up to my weights. Well, she was not into it and we did .8. Yup. 🤣
@Avidkeo The spotify exclusive one has a patreon. For $10/month I could get their RSS feed but that's a little steep for me right now.1 -

Same here. I have done the "New Adventures" but I don't like them as much as the original story. I am really ready for season 9.
For rhe monthly question: I haven't run in many different places so I guess my favorite so far was in Colorado last May when we were on vacation. It wasn't a race, but it was my first out of state run and the mountains were a really pretty place to run.3 -
@RunsOnEspresso and @Avidkeo - I use Spotify all the time and don't have any problems with it. But I mostly listen to playlists I've created. Sometimes I explore different channels but not terribly often.
Favorite places I have run: I also really enjoyed the National Mall in DC, and I always love when I run in Scottsdale AZ in March when I go for a conference. It's such a treat to have warm weather and such different scenery. Running by the ocean is my favorite though, anytime I've had an opportunity to do that I have loved it.

Today didn't really go to plan in most ways. I was late getting to the gym tonight so only had time for a short warmup before my mace class. I was not very energetic for either thing.

Well, long time no see, y’all.
That darn wagon certainly chucked me a long ways this time.... maybe down a cliff or something? I’m not really sure. Based on stats, I haven’t even caught a glimpse of the wagon since August, and I remember it being more like May or June. And, there was apparently a limit to how long I felt like I should be reading/contributing without even an attempt at running.
But, I officially have seen the wagon long enough I started glancing at this thread again. And started back with C25K, because what else does one do when they haven’t ran in 6+ months??..... and when one is attempting to run at a higher weight than one has ever done before. Ugh.
But, I officially put miles on the board last month. And I’ve doubled that this month. Most of the miles have been dreadmill miles.... because the non dreadmill miles might have been considered ice skating rather than “wogging”. And, if my klutzy butt was to fall, we would most certainly break something... so inside we went.
And although I had to slow my pace a bit to ensure success, my “wog” intervals included 5 minute run intervals today. So, I think that is a reasonable milestone to rejoin the world. So, here I am.
Mostly my goal has been to “do something” and “eat less stupid stuff.” Even if the do something is JUST a romwod. But, in the spirit of doing something, and doing better.... I think a stretch goal for the month would be to hit 25 miles of intentional run/walk/wog/whatever.16 -

Hugs that was me about 3 months ago. Infact I think i described it as falling off the wagon, having the wagon run over me then roll off down the road. But now I'm on a 61 day run streak and have lost 4kg in that time as well, so welcome back and you have totally got this!8
