Welcome to Week 4 of my BQ or Bust journey as I train for the 2024 Chicago Marathon with one big goal: qualifying for the Boston Marathon. If you're training for a marathon, dealing with injury setbacks, or wondering how to nail your fueling strategy, this week's got something for you. This week was INCREDIBLE: 🏃♀️ 2 speed play sessions (finally back to feeling STRONG running fast paces!)
🍯 Continued fueling strategy tweaks and testing
💪 Sports Bra Squad Day celebration 🏃♀️ An amazing long run that reminded me why I love this ✨ Feeling almost 100% after my piriformis syndrome journey I'm officially feeling like myself again! The piriformis issues that scared me and slowed me down are nearly behind me, and I'm rediscovering my speed and confidence. This week proved that patience with injury recovery pays off—and that the comeback is always sweeter than the setback. My mantra remains: WHY NOT. Why not push through the doubt? Why not trust the process? Why not believe I'm capable of more than I think? Throughout this series, you'll get real, unfiltered marathon training—the highs, the lows, the injury scares, and the breakthrough moments that make it all worth it.
🖤 The only way you fail is if you fail to try. WHY NOT?!
