You’re running a lot of miles each week this training cycle. Have you run that many in past marathon training cycles? Getting that much time on your legs plus hitting your paces on your speed workouts sounds like a recipe for success!
Thanks for the linkup!

Thanks Debbie – yes I’ve used Hanson’s before which is pretty high mileage – actually a bit higher than what I’m running now. Hoping for great things in June 🙂
Your long runs seem to be going great – has to be a good sign for Grandma’s, I think! I start work travel next month. I’ll actually be in the DC area (Arlington) in four weeks. I’ve heard the riverfront may be a nice place to run?
Oh fun. There are tons of great places to run in the DC area – and actually a few different bodies of water, so unsure which one you are referencing but yes lots of (paved) trails by the water that are great!
My year has been blissfully business travel free so far! I know that won’t last forever, but I didn’t mind letting my economy plus subscription lapse for a few months. Your training is going so well! Interesting to see how different being coached makes the process!
Oh wow, really? No work travel yet – that’s impressive! I’ll be travel free most of May and then June and July are crazy! And yes – having a coach is different – I really love it!
You really knocked your Long Runs out of the park these last two weeks! Well done! It’s amazing what a good long run does for your confidence!
Thanks! I am feeling good 🙂
Very exciting that you’re using a coach for the first time. Have you shared who you’re working with? I’m injured right now (broken leg) but might not go back to my previous coach when I’m finally back to running, just to change things up to see what else is out there.
Excited to follow your training for Grandma’s! Way to crush that 20 miler!
Oh no, Jessie! That stinks – I’m sorry to hear that. I’m working with Becki Spellman, Oiselle elite runner. She’s fantastic!
Congrats on some awesome mileage and nailing the 18s and 20s! Glad things are going well for you, even if the runs aren’t all amazing, you’re not injured and you’re putting in the quality. I hope things go well with your traveling this week and that you’re safe and can find somewhere to run (knowing you, you will, and you will find fun people to run with and fun places to run).
Thanks so much Amy Lauren. I’m a bit unsure about where I’m running tomorrow but I’ll figure it out during my warm up 🙂
Congrats on the 20 miler – it must be weird to do 20 after doing Hanson’s for so long, great work! Training looks like it’s going really well!

Thanks Janelle. It was kind of weird but not TOO weird because I have run 18 many times in Hanson’s training!
