Friday Share: Getting over a bad race
Hi friends! I wanted to share an article I found very helpful to read while I’ve been processing my feelings over my DNF at Royal Victoria Marathon. It’s written and researched by Coach Nick Klastava. I hope it might be of benefit to anyone else recovering from a race that didn’t go the way you hoped it would 💙https://www.runningexplained.com/post/missed-marathon-goal-time

@Emily Bailey I really feel you. And yes, so many great tips in this article. I especially appreciate the advice to look back over your training block and write down 3 runs you didn’t think you could do when you started. Then move forward to your next goal or race with the evidence of having done those runs (rather than focusing on race day which is just ONE RUN in the big scheme of things). 💙

Question of the day!!
If you’ve already ran your first marathon, what’s a piece of advice you’d offer someone training for theirs? If you haven’t ran your first marathon, what’s the best piece of advice you’ve received so far? 👇👇👇

Not having a super rigid finish time goal or pace goal. Certainly have a time/pace range in mind that makes sense for you, but keep expectations pretty curious and loose. Based on my personal experience I might even say apply this advice to your first FEW marathons!

@Norah St Peter Marathons are such a wild endeavour, I think that hard expectations are really tough. Better to go in with a mindset of: “I wonder what I can do today?” 🫶🏻
