final details for the Hawk100 | Thinking Out Loud

Heading into the final HOURS before my first 100 miler, I have so many thoughts… So I just figured I would go over my final must haves, race details, race plans, crew details, and all-over race prep.

Can I get a do-over? With 6 weeks until the #Hawk100, I am having a rough time fitting everything in…and my running is what is suffering the most. Could there just be a couple more hours in the day?? No? Okay…then I will do what I can. (and I will be trying again next week…)

The @RunRocknRoll Chicago is this coming weekend…and I am excited! I am also a few [8] short weeks from my first 100 miler…and I am not stressing yet, I’ll save that for the taper weeks. #bibchat #rnrbr

This week is just feels a bit off…

After the [all] night run, I have been “catching up” on sleep and making a full night of sleep a bigger priority than getting out for morning runs. I am not too heart broken about the down week, they come sometimes – planned or not!

I am gearing up to travel and run the Rock ‘n’ Roll Chicago in a couple weeks and the quickly approaching Hawk 100m event in September!

Let’s get on with it!

I am playing with my miles a lot this week. Since I built in a night 50K into this training block, the miles are a little funky this week leading up to the weekend. I plan a couple trail days this week (check out below if it works out or not) and the long, night training run this weekend! While my miles are messed around from day to day, the miles for the week equal the same ♥

Let’s goooo!

Now that the Hospital Hill ReRun weekend is in the rear-view, it is time to focus on the next task! The Rock ‘n’ Roll Chicago is 7 weeks away and the Hawk 100 is 13 weeks away! There are some additional races in the mix for the Hawk 100 training – but I will think about those as they come [big miles on the way!!]…

Bring on the taper weeks! Last weekend’s 20 miler really took it out of me…and I needed a little extra love with my CTM Band the beginning of this week. While this training cycle is winding down, I have a lot going on the rest of this year! This training time between my previous 50K run and the… Continue reading OZ Marathon w6 | training for 100M

This week was an interesting one! I wanted this week to be one for recovery, but I did quite a bit of running…felt great!

I am hoping that the training time between the 50K 20M and the big 100M training cycle will be filled with additional strength training and marathon prep! My next “race” in the books is the Garmin Marathon and I will be pacing the 5:30 runners!
