I am excited to watch your video about it!! The pictures from Instagram looked badass. 😍

@@IRunThings I was a little disappointed I didn't get a picture coming up from the dunk wall but that's fine. I'm hoping to get the video up soon.

@@WVRunningDon you survived the wall, the picture is just a picture. It sounds like it was epic nonetheless

Yeah. It's a great path and it's always quote busy. I am very fortunate that I open my door and I can run miles on end. That path is 120 miles long

@@IRunThings That's awesome...120 miles long...sheesh!!😯

I have never used Skratch and a lot of people are recommending it lately. I guess ita my turn to give it a try!! I don't know that i will be able to consume 60 grams an hour moving forward... The times when I've had 60 grams of carbs I haven't done well in races. And by not done well I mean I ran slower. I have run faster taking 40 grams an hour, and i ran my fastest marathon ever with 100grams of carbs during the whole Marathon ( i took 3 gels and a banana). Why? I don't know. It seems counterintuitive to what everyone is saying. But that is my experience. 🙂

@@IRunThings. Experience trumps anyone else’s advice. Listen to your gut, literally! 😉 I’m a heavier runner than you, so that’s probably why my body can do 60. Plus Texas heat, I sweat so much out. And I’m diabetic and I need to keep the energy consistent. I prefer skratch to tailwind because of the lower sugar. I’m sure you’d like either. Good luck! 😀

@@vanessamartinez4917 thanks Vanessa 😊 I have tried Tailwind. I liked the flavor but it didn't do much for me in terms of performance. But then again more seems to be more and not better for me.

@@IRunThings If what you’re doing works for you, then keep at it. We women who have lived a few decades or so know our bodies fairly well. 😉

Thanks!! And yeah it was a good week!

This is awesome. When did you do the Camino? Was this recent? And did you do the Camino Frances?

@@IRunThings I did the French Way. I started on June 1st and finished on the 11th of July. It was such a great experience.

@@rayw6359 that's kind of when we would do it. Was it chilly any of the early mornings?

@@IRunThings Weather was great. Two misty days, not real rain. A few days in the low 80's and a good number of overcast days with temps in the mid 70's. Great walking weather in general. On chilly days I wore a long sleeve Merino wool shirt with a light jacket. The jacket usually came off with a an hour or two. Invest in Merino wool long and short sleeve shirts, underwear and socks. Less laundry to do. You can wear that stuff for days and not smell at all. Go for it!!!

I never thought of doing this math. It's kind of overwhelming to think about it. Thanks for the love Steve. Love back ❤

Thank you!!! It was a good run

Me too!

I am glad it was!!!

Ha. 🙂

Thank H. ♥️ I appreciate YOU

Bueno. Podrian ir mejor pero no me Quijote. Tu tampoco vas mal. De hecho, vas muy bien

🥰🥰🥰🥰

You will run faster in the fall. I could already notice the difference this morning with 65F. And thanks!!! Onwards to 5k subs!!

I do it 2 times a week with at least 1 day preferably 2 days rest in between before doing it again

I totally hear you. It's a falacy that we all have the same 24hrs. The days have 24hrs, but some of us have a lot of those hours filled with other must do tasks. I saw you are doing a spartan race in Instagram though??? I am super impressed

@@IRunThings Thanks Suzie. I had two races I could do that weekend and asked Stacy to pick one. She said do the Spartan. OK. Which one? She said do the half marathon. You can go that far. So here I am only a few days away from the West Virginia Beast. Hahaha!!!

@WVRunningDon you will be fine. You always seem to have a good level of fitness anyway. It's very exciting 😀. I hope there is some footage

@@IRunThings There will be. I just don't know when it will get online. 😁

I am really sorry you got it too. It's the worst thing ever. I'd rather give birth 5 times in a row. But yes I went to the hospital to see how badly it had affected my eye and the doctor said with how aggressive it was I was probably going to get post hermetic neuralgia for the rest of my life. I just forget about it and I don't put 2 and 2 together till I get my left eye to bother me. Then I am like... crap again? Supposedly it gets milder and milder every time. But it's sort of like a mild flu that lingers for a few days.

@IRunThings Im sorry to hear that, I never knew it could be so bad . The doctor just prescribed me an eye cream. He mentioned that maybe my immune system was really low, and that was why I got it before my 50s. All these years, I thought I was getting a cold that it was lingering, waiting to happen.

@agarleetavarez3768 they prescribed drops for me and an antiviral in pill for. They didn't do anything. I was in so much pain

@IRunThings I'm so sorry that you have been through that. No wonder you would rather give birth 5 times in a row. I looked up post hermetic neuralgia, and that is horrible. I hope that over time, it gets better 🙏.

You are incredible!! What prompted you to trying to write a song in Spanish? I'm curious.

@@IRunThings love of course! And…. My staff would have La Mega on everything morning and there’d be Spanish music just playing! I was always so thankful for it because if not they’d play rap n hip hop and to be honest that’s not my first choice for music… especially at 6am! 😂

I haven't had one in 6 years. I am pretty partial to them. I have had a few in my life and I don't love them.... probably the only runner who doesn't. I am weird that way

I have tried both. I don't like apple sauce and it doesn't do much for me. Bananas do but they are cumbersome to bring on my person. I love when they give them on course

Omg!!! Welcome to the community!! Which ultra are you running?

It's a version??? I am going to have to check Old Crow Medicine... I'll report back

@@IRunThings their version is more mellow… not really a running tempo… lol

@@Deadbuck73 yeah. I Like DR'S version better

I agree with all these assessments. :) Yes I think it was too low on miles, but I already upped the mileage last week and plan on running more miles than what the plan calls for. basically I am keeping the long run with the miles at MP, and then upping every run. And getting rid of the threshold. I hate thresholds and I've always done better in races without them. I think they are the kind of run that I dont recover from fast enough. I didn't do it last week (did intervals instead) and my long run was tough, but I did it.

@@IRunThings Yeah, thresholds can work but you can get away without them just doing more Z1/Z2 volume and some high end speed work. I wouldn't worry about adding tempo/threshold until you get up to at least 40 miles per week. Then it might make sense (but TBH, I would probably put more effort into getting to 50 mpw before I would worry about adding tempo).

@@littlerunner4505 so I wholeheartedly agree with this! 🙂

Of course!!! 😂 THANKS for being so kind❤

I appreciate you even more because you came back and commented after more than a week 🥰. I hope you are doing ok and being loopy is just an expression you are using but not literal. Hugs M.E.!!

Yeah. I ran with Ucan this weekend and my 16 mile long run with 6 at marathon pace went reasonably well. I think I could have used a 3rd gel but I didn't bonk at all. It's just interesting it's changed over time

I hear you... we need cooler days!!! I have to check 7 Mile Beach, I was actually thinking of running by the beach this incoming week, just to change scenery

Thank you 😘😘😘😘

Yeah. I agree.

A mi también. Sobretodo este elepé

Gracias mamá ❤

Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment

I am aware of the Ragnar races but I'll have to check these other two! I think we are a little maxed out the first half of next year and going into the summer. Haha. But we should look at something in the fall

Thanks so much!

If you go to nyrr.org you will find all of their races listed. There's a lottery so pay attention to when it opens. It tends to be around early November. Usually right after NYC Marathon. But that could change. Follow nyrr on Instagram, they will post there too.

Merci beaucoyp mes amis!!!! 🥰🥰🥰

@@IRunThings Nous te souhaitons une bonne journée !☀️ Te deseamos un buen dia.☺️ We wish you a good day. 🌸

I am very excited to try Ucan. I hope it goes well. And yeah I was planning on alternating. That's what training should be for, so things are squared away hopefully for race day. Thanks for watching and posting 😀

You'll have to let me know how Ucan gels work out for you! I am excited to try them. I was thinking about the rice Krispy treats. Those may be a good choice. I have tried fruit. It's just a bit bulkier and heavier unless it's a banana. Thanks for watching my videos!!! I appreciate the support!

Thank you!!! I do include marathon pace in my long runs yes.

I would encourage to Google Stacy Sims. She has been interviewed on many podcasts and is a wealth of knowledge in this field. She is an exercise physiologist. What has helped me keep belly fat at bay is SIT training. It works wonders. She was recently at the Huberman podcast. In terms of what you are going through, I can say in my personal experience once you are on the other side you feel pretty amazing. Once the hormones are not a roller coaster and you are not cramping randomly and have the mood swings. I remember a race in which I was running amazing and keeping a great pace and started cramping at mile 10 and the cramps were so incapacitating I had to start walking... it was so defeating. Then I went to the bathrooms and there I was, one week early and in the worst mood of my life. In Spain we say that the difference in between a terrorist and a woman on her period is that with you can negotiate with a terrorist. 🙂 Obviously an exaggeration, but I am sure you know what I am talking about.

I also would encourage to run your marathon. Just cut yourself some slack. It might be amazing, and it might be also super slow. Still, you will be a marathoner. And that's pretty sweet

I don't really understand why it is not talked about more openly. It's something that happens to all women (those who run too). And it's nothing to be ashamed of

Thank you!!

Thank you!! Bruce got 37 5 miles in. 10 loops!! He is a beast.

@@IRunThings that would be great for a spring or fall challenge.

Thank you!

Thank you!
