Some stats from this week's 2:31 marathon PR 📈
Any day now...
After 20+ years of weekly long runs, you have to spice things up to keep the magic alive.
1. Crush a random Strava segment
2. Headphones are the new TV:
And just like you wouldn’t watch an old non-flatscreen TV from the 1990s, don’t just use any old headphones. I recently upgraded to OpenRun Pro 2 after using the first edition for 3 years, and I’ve been blown away by the sound quality. They’re comfortable with a hat and glasses, water-resistant, and open-ear to help keep you aware on the roads.
3. Practice fueling
4. Post it online
5. Channel David Goggins
The path of the exceptional person is one of exception.
It's not always pretty 🙈

NEW PB : 2:31 🎉
Marathon #10 in the books, and the stroller miles officially paid off.
Here are the hits from an unforgettable morning in Fredericton:
The Start: Big emotions during the national anthem. The entire 14-week block and every athlete who ever lined up flashed before my eyes.
1k–15k: Early kms went by slow in my head, but the legs felt fast. Forcing down 3 gels in 15k sat heavy in the gut (but pqid off later).
19k: My dad handed me a water bottle, seeing him on the course gave me a solid mental boost.
19k–26k: The dark stretch. My mind was yelling doubts at me.
Mid-Race Chaos: Rain turned long stretches of the course to mud, and merging into the half-marathon traffic was crazy.
32k: Doubts started to dissipate. Realizing I had enough in the tank and I wasn't going to bonk.
The Grind: Drafted off a fellow runner () late in the race. With 2k to go, he offered to bring it home together, and I was literally gritting my teeth the rest of the way.
The Finish: Crossing the chute and seeing my baby girl waiting was a new core memory.
Opening Strava a few minutes later to see "This was your fastest ever marathon" was... also probably a new core memory, lol 😅🤷♂️
We did it. 🏁👶👟

14 weeks in the books.
This training block will always hold a special place for me. Peak mileage happened right in the middle of parental leave, which meant tying long training weeks directly to nap times, pushing my daughter in her stroller mile after mile.
It was an unforgettable few months of bonding on the run, and a block this special requires a finish line worthy of the build-up to give it all complete purpose.
Tomorrow, it's go time. Let's run.
Unbelievable.
