Semaine 6, reprise des choses sérieuses

 Allez repos ok, on se remotive et on s'y remet...4 séances et 49 km cette semaine.

Test de ma nouvelle veste, au top, plein de poches, et pas trop lourde. Elle donne un peu chaud mais la météo n'est pas terrible donc ça va. 

J'enchaîne un fractionné, des répétitions et les km, sans peiner et sans douleurs.

Sortie longue de 16 km, exactement comme toi Aurélia, en même temps, notre programme est un peu près synchro pour l'instant 🙂

Ma montre est toujours contente, pas un seul entrainement improductif pour le moment...l'année dernière ce n'était pas le cas...étrange.

Week 7… or 11.5 weeks before 11/5

Image
 Yes, I know this only works if you refer to dates in the American way… we are 11.5 weeks away from 11/5, or Nov 5th, or NYC Marathon day!!! Lots of information received from Delphine who continued her training during holidays, ignoring all the canine dangers… she runs faster than those dogs 😅 Interesting that at the same time as you were looking for hydratation vests I was picking shorts with many pockets: for hydratation as well as gels and keys and credit card and phone, to run prepared for anything. I was initially looking for a running belt, but the same company producing the belts convinced me that I might as well add a short to the belt, cunning. So here it is: I ran several distances with it last week and that worked, not running faster but I can pay for my coffee at the end of the run. Last week was also when we had to select several options for the marathon, including transportation to the start line 🤩 it’s becoming real! It was great to see we both had the same options...

Week 17 - Full Taper Mode

Image
Mileage has seriously reduced, Saturday long run was just 4 miles! We did not know what to do with ourselves… we got extra party at coffee afterwards… and that’s my issue with tapering: I still eat a lot, while I don’t « spend » a lot. There will be more mass to move along 😜 Speaking of food: - restaurant is booked for Saturday night, for the diner before the race, and yes, it’s an Italian restaurant so we should have a good pasta choice! - nutrition morning of the race: sharing what an experienced runner from our group shared with us So we will be eating our breakfast in the bus! I think they forgot coffee, but I’ve been told there will be plenty of coffee in the starting villages. Planning to bring cereals, banana and yogurt for the bus, and a bagel or similar for snack. I usually don’t start with a gel, but given the waiting time I see how it might help. Delphine, here is a site that goes through what to expect during the run, if you want to be surprised don’t read it! It can help ...

Week 14 - 1 month to go!

Image
With just 1 month to go things are becoming real 🥹🥳🤩😱😱😱 Emotional as I will get to see Delphine and run for real with her (following our virtual half marathon during Covid!). I started to plan minute by minute from the time she arrives to the time we arrive at the finish line: - on Friday she lands, and you may be tired Delphine, so we can go to Princeton for a quick visit or straight home to eat and sleep. We might, or might not, see Camille. She is planning to come down for the weekend in Princeton to see her friend competing for Wrestling. - on Saturday we will take the train to NYC to visit the expo center, gets our bibs and bags before we do limited tourist activities and head to hotel, so we can prepare our drop bags and bring them to Central Park - on Saturday evening we will have diner with Laure! Even more emotions, as I haven’t seen Laure in AGES 😅 - on Sunday… we’ll we run! We will let you know the expected step by step as we get closer. It will be a real party, this ...
