PSA FOR NEW MARATHONERS: Please don't repeat my mistake. 3 marathons in and for the first time I realized that no matter the training load you don't need to give all your energy to your training and let the rest of your day run on fumes. You CAN actually have the energy to finish out your day and match your kids second wind of energy. As a mom of two, I'm so grateful to have learned this lesson, better late than never, with the help of @getfuelin . Feeling stronger than ever and it has everything to do with the foundational simple step : FUEL THE WORK. But also fuel for life. MY MISTAKE WAS THINKING YOU CAN'T DO BOTH! This bridge block leading up to my fall marathon build I've stepped back from a traditional training block and focused more on things like nutrition, functional strength, mental and spiritual sharpening and walked away with a couple of PRs from races I hadn't even really planned on running, just goes to show how the training is only one small piece of it all. Not an expert by any means and I honestly still struggle with prioritizing the time to make good food vs. work vs. tend to the kids/home/etc so it's a balance I haven't perfected but I am learning and AWARE which is half the battle sometimes. Recent PRs: 1500: 4:25 5k: 16:55 10k: 36:48 💛 1 Corinthians 10:31 "So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God." #running #nutritionaltips #marathontraining #momswhorun
