Last week was busy leading up to the Reach the Beach Relay. With my new running schedule, I was able to get in one last run before hopping into the van and heading up to Cannon Mountain where all the relay running brilliance began. A full RTB Relay recap is in the works, but today is all about my RTB lessons!
#TrainingTruth: You can't fully pack for RTB until the last run is done.
#TrainingTruth: Starting out too fast leads to a fizzle in the end.
#TrainingTruth: Pacing can be found in other runners, music, and yourself.
#TrainingTruth: It's ok to be passed by 6 other runners, if you're still running.
As you can see, I never go for a run without my Mizunos. They are one of my running must haves. And you may remember from this post all the reasons why they are my go-to running shoe.
There is no better feeling than not having to think about what you are going to put on your feet. Whether you run on the road, the treadmill, or the trail, Mizuno wants you to become the best runner you can be and experience the brilliance of a Mizuno run.
Lucky for you, they have asked me to give away 10 Mezamashii Run Project invitations!!

My #TrainingTruth is to embrace rest days! You only get stronger and faster if you let your muscles recover and rebuild. I know it's hard to allow yourself to rest, but it's so important!
ReplyDelete#TrainingTruth be patient with yourself. I can't get frustrated because I had a rough week - I have to look how far I have come over the last 2 years!
ReplyDelete#trainingtruth things change as you age---and thats ok!
ReplyDelete#traingtruths Never underestimate yoursel!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing RTB!! My #trainingtruth is to embrace everything the road (running & life) throws at me - curves, hills, potholes they all help me grow.
ReplyDelete#trainingtruth Running always gives me back more than I expect!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your finish. My #trainingtruth is, every run is your own, no one elses.
ReplyDelete#trainingtruth...getting out there is the hardest part!
ReplyDelete{I also have a mad love for my Mizunos - the first shoe I found that didn't immediately make my toenails fall off, a huge plus!}
WOOHOO! Nice run girlie! You are amazing!
ReplyDeleteAlso LOVE mizunos! They are all I wear!
#trainingtruth.....you never regret the run you do!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the run! And love the RTB lessons....so true!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!!! Training Truth - recovery runs are not meant to be speedy. Let go of the speed on that run and just go. Best to go without your garmin as well....or any other device. Just relax. It's taken me FOREVER to get this down!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on your run! My #trainingtruth is running is helping me become who I always dreamed of being
ReplyDelete#trainingtruth I have just started my running journey.
ReplyDelete#trainingtruth If you're injured, don't run!
ReplyDeleteSo true!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Good luck ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, I really need to remember this one!
ReplyDeleteThanks ;)
ReplyDeleteThey do, and it is!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing RTB!! I hope to do it someday :)
ReplyDelete#TrainingTruth Sitting on the couch and reading running blogs will not make you faster. Get out there and run! You can read while you recover.
#trainingtruth Run your own pace, your own race.
ReplyDelete#trainingtruth I take hills to fast and end up with the gagging/coughing torture after some of them. Learning to slow down and trying to love hills!!
ReplyDeleteMy #TrainingTruth is to do what is best for YOU..what works for someone else may not be what works for you
ReplyDeleteSending some SPA love! And yes, good running shoes are ESSENTIAL!!!!
ReplyDeleteP.S. http://masters2marathons.com/
ReplyDeleteTraining Truth: It's just like the movie Santa Claus is Coming to Town said "Changing from bad to good is as easy as taking your first step, put one foot in front of the other"
ReplyDeleteIt must be wonderful to not have to worry about what shoes you're going to wear!
ReplyDeleteTraining truth: pace yourself, stress is what we do to ourselves.
ReplyDelete#training can be fun if you allow it to be.
ReplyDeletetraining truth: be yourself...run for yourself...train for yourself...as a new runner i remind myself of this often...take time and have fun. :)
ReplyDeletetraining truth: do NOT compare yourself to anyone else! (and always bring your camelbak)
ReplyDeleteYes! Run your own race. Run your own pace.
ReplyDeletetraining truth: you learn to love the burn....
ReplyDeletetraining truth: stop comparing yourself to others! train and run for you and no one else!
ReplyDeletetraining truth: putting long marathon training runs into sets of 3-4 miles makes it MUCH easier to tackle for those of you who get into your heads too much.
ReplyDeletetraining truth: consistency always!
