Garmin Connect and Strava is the best and worst at the same time. You can't compare yourself to others. It's hard I know. Just do you. Be patient. Take it easy. Enjoy running for running, there is no rush.

I wish I could stick up with it... I just can't when I run more than 40mpw. And I hate it. All I wanna do is run. I know it's bad.... :neutral_face:

I can't use Nuun. Nobody is the same. You need to experiment and find out what works for you :smile:

Exactly this :smile: You should be fine in 3-4 days.

You walked 22 miles. What did you expect ?

+1 for dry clothes as soon as you can. I get chills and very cold if I stay in wet clothes, even after a summer run. Also, +1 to drinking water. I dry to drink a 20oz bottle of water in the next 30 minutes after my done. It also helps me controlling post run hunger. Good luck, and keep us posted :smile:

Are you rolling/stretching? Achilles pain can often be a result of tight calves or hamstrings. I'm also thinking doubling and tripling mileage might be the cause.

I also thought it was harsh... But yeah, I third the idea of needing more food to support training and recover well.

Well said!!! Grrrr!

5miles is ~402 calories for me. Easy to overeat and not lose if you are not logging the correct calorie burn.

I was thinking the same... 5 minutes of walking as a warm-up isn't enough for a tempo run... I usually run 2-3 miles at an easy pace before being able to hit my tempo pace. Going straight from walking to tempo pace = bad idea!

I'm marathon training right now, running over 40mpw, and I lost 6.3 lbs in the past 4 weeks. It's doable if you don't use your running as an excuse to stuff your face with everything in sight. I'm eating 60% carbs and losing. I'm not hungry and I'm recovering well. It's all about making good filling choices instead of…

I was thinking the exact same thing! I would think sub 3:00 might be easily (or -ish) attainable for you if you were to put in an adequate amount of work.

Haha yeah I agree with this. Except I would call it ''surviving a marathon''. :#

I don't race fasted, so I don't train fasted. It worked well in the past for me, so unless it starts being a problem I don't see why I would change thing. I rather have a great fueled workout than struggle through an aweful run unable to hit my paces.

I tagged you on IG. I have the same thing, and yes it's bunions. I don't believe toe seperators will do anything.

The only way to really get better at running is to run... Sorry :neutral_face: Maybe someone else has something is to offer.

I always am ''wobbly'' the couple of first times I run on a treadmill. Then it gets better. I don't think you are going too fast or doing too much.

Speed is relative. For me it's slower than my recovery pace, for someone else it's their racing all out pace. Unless you are running to qualify for the Olympics, the only person you are really racing is yourself! Have fun, run, and you'll get faster with time :smile:

More easy miles, more easy miles, more easy miles. Build slowly your base. Add 4% a week for two weeks, then cut back for one week. Build up to 6 runs a week if you are not already. More easy miles, more easy miles, more easy miles.
