Chicago Marathon Training Recap – Week 14

I was blessed with a cutback week and it was much appreciated! Sometimes you don’t know how much you need a break until you get one. My workouts actually felt enjoyable this week due to much better weather and less achy joints. This was probably one of my strongest weeks this training cycle! Monday 8/21 […]

How to Survive a Long Run on the Treadmill

Happy Wednesday! Today I want to discuss the treadmill. I feel like runners either love or hate the treadmill, there is no in-between! Personally I don’t mind the treadmill. I wouldn’t say it’s my favorite way to get in a run, but I don’t dread it. Running on a treadmill is one thing, but what […]
