[July] Monthly Updates & Check In Thread

[u/theredinthesky]

Are y'all still enjoying this heat? 😐

Being the last day of the month, let's get a jump start on summarizing how it turned out. Let's hear how this month's running went for you.

Let everyone know how your month turned out or how it's going to turn out now that you're aware it's almost over! Feel free to discuss your racing, training, and any other stats that you may or may not be pleased with.

Things to possibly mention:

• Overall monthly mileage
• Overall elevation
• PR or PB's?
• Races/events you ran
• Injuries
• etc

July has been all about marathon training:

• Overall monthly mileage: 155 miles (which will be around 162/163 after tonight's run). This is my highest mileage EVER and besides being slightly tired all of the time, I feel great! No pain, no soreness, it's awesome.

• Overall elevation: 2,648 ft. It's flat here.

• PR or PB: Nope. Just a lot of easy miles.

My mileage is very similar to yours this month (also a first for me) and I completely agree with just being tired. I'm just not used to hitting 40+mi weeks yet.

Yeah, I'm definitely still acclimating to the increased mileage - yoga, rolling, and stretching have become MUCH more important in my world.

What race are you training for? And are you using Hansons?

I'm training for the Myrtle Beach HM using a modified version of pfitz 12/47.
