Chicago Marathon Training Recap – Week 8
Week 8 of marathon training is in the books! This week was…challenging. All my workouts just felt “off” for lack of a better word. My legs felt heavy during all my runs this week and I even skipped my run on Tuesday. My knees were really not happy with me at all this week so […]
