Happy Fit Friday Friends! Today - I’m taking over @nycmarathon Instagram account so I thought I’d give you a #FBF of the time I ran it in 2009. It’s my favorite marathon to date and I can’t wait to run it in just 23 days! So, follow along as I use their instastories and feed today! #TCSNYCmarathon #nyrr (at New York, New York)

Marathon training also means cross training! I do at least an hour bike once a week followed by a short easy run. Do you cross train while marathon training? If so - what do you do?

Happy Fit Friday! ⚡️

Today marks 30 days away from the TCS New York City marathon and I couldn’t be more excited! It also marks day 283 of my #runstreak. I often get asked how I manage to stay injury free since I run every day, just ran a 100 miler, and now am working on speed. I think the key is dialing it back on easy days and doing work on the days that matter. Never increasing speed and mileage too much, but staying consistent. Some days only call for 20-30 minutes of a recovery run… and, even if I’m feeling good - I still dial back the pace. Key is not sacrificing the hard key workouts for easy ones. And – make the foam roller your bff! ✌️

Happy Fit Friday friends!! ☀️️

Who’s racing? Who’s pacing? Who’s happy it’s the weekend?

Thought for the day :: As I transition from the trails to the road to prepare for the @nycmarathon – I will also shift my nutrition a bit. I won’t be logging as many miles, so I won’t need as many calories.

Do you have specific nutritional goals when training for a road marathon? Share!!

I tend to aim for lean meats, good carbs, fruits and veggies. And my goal is more water!

I’m so excited as this is my favorite marathon of all time! Hands up - who’s joining me?

⚡️First things first – I’m going to run 100 miles this Friday … then let the road marathon training commence!
