Repost @trackclubbabe ・・・ RELAX YO FACE!!! . In the yoga class I took in Belize this week, the instructor kept reminding us to relax our faces. What a helpful reminder. For me, whenever runs get tough, it’s like my face starts showing signs of pain and my body starts tensing up and it’s like everything starts saying “you’re feeling miserable, let’s slow down.” There will be times when I’ll consciously tell myself, c’mon- it’s not that bad, and I’ll not let myself make those faces and I’ll shake out my body so it’s not tensing up and suddenly things don’t feel THAT bad. So there it is- to run faster/to run longer- relax your face. If you were watching #breaking2 this week, you probably saw that @kipchogeeliud had such a relaxed expression the ENTIRE time- with just 2 or 3 grimace/smiles at the very end- but other than that he looked completely serene and relaxed and like he was running 10 min/mi and not the blisteringly hot pace of 4:35 min/mi. So tomorrow, during our tempo, I’m taking a page out of Eliud’s book - and keeping my face relaxed. Goal is to not take the energy from my legs and use it up with those facial expressions. ;-) . #run #running #jogging #marathon #yoga #instarunners #bbg #sweatwithkayla #fitness #nutrition #cleaneating #bbgsd #runshots #chaseadventure #wearetherunners #instadaily #womensrunningcommunity #worlderunners #runitfast #monitorthebeat #goprotravel #runnershoutouts #justdoit #runnerscommunity #womensrunning #monitorthebeat #runhappy #corridaderua #swimbikerun #triathlon

Repost @trackclubbabe ・・・ FATIGUE V. READYYY ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️ . I had this revelation in the car yesterday where I could literally just feel energy coming back to me after my hard workout on Wednesday that this was a totally different feeling than I had over a year ago when I was in the middle of recovering from overtraining. At that point, I dreaded every workout & just viewed them as another time where my running would fail & disappoint me. @tunderface would say- Be more positive. And I was so frustrated, because it wasn’t about being positive or not- it was literally that my body was worn out and I would be out there trying to force things to happen. Reallyyyy draining, I tell ya! 😬Now- instead of dreading workouts- I get excited for them - like I can't wait to get out there and fly (or my version of flying- ya feel me. Haha). I feel like I have pent up energy in my legs by the time my next workouts come along instead of trying to resurrect the dead 💀 for 800s like I did before. And that, my friends, is the difference between running through fatigue and running in a good training cycle! 🙌🏽🙌🏽 . A good rule of thumb that I read in the Hanson’s Marathon Method book is, “If you are tired but still running strong and hitting your desired paces, then that is cumulative fatigue. However if you are feeling worn down, on the verge of illness, and paces are starting to suffer, then that is the onset of overtraining.” I feel like sometimes as runners we can be beating ourselves up that we aren’t working hard enough or pushing past the pain if our paces are off or our motivation is ULTRA low- but sometimes your body/& your mind are trying to tell you something (like hello, I can’t handle this, chill out) and it’s definitely in your best interest to listen. 💁🏻 . All this to say- I’m EXCITED I get to do a speed workout tomorrow. My favorite days of the week. ;-) . #run #running #marathons #yoga #instarunners #bbg #sweatwithkayla #fitness #rnrsd #nutrition #cleaneating #bbgsd #runshots #chaseadventure #worlderunners #womensrunningcommunity #worlderunners #runitfast #monitorthebeat #runfitted #ihavearunnersbody #beswift #runcompetitor #nikerunning
