It's summer, and I get really tired around the middle of July. I plan to take a week off in a couple of weeks.

Any AW's or brags?

Bonus: Damn it's hot. What is your electrolyte drink of choice ? When do you drink it? Before? after or during? I use water in my bottles. I take potassium and magnesium pills the morning of a long bike ride when it's hot.

What are you training for? Date?
Chicago marathon - 10/13
Apparently I also have a half this weekend. I don't know...it's gonna be so hot...



Training schedule for the week?
M: run 6.5. I also got in the pool and did like a whopping 6 laps (50 meter pool so I feel slightly better about myself). Figured I'd stop there cause I didn't want to overdo it. LOL!
T: tempo 6 miles
W: supposed to be strength but I hurt so bad that I don't know... Might get in the pool again.
R: speed 5 miles
F: eh... Massage?
Sat: nothing
Sun: race




Any issues/vents/complaints? Vent away!
It's so hot and humid! OMG.... I can't hit any of my pace times and haven't been able to for two weeks. It's demoralizing.


Any AW's or brags?
I moved around the corner from a free outdoor community pool. Finally got in it on Monday. It was a bit of a shit show cause there were lots of lap swimmers and no lane dividers. But I did it. Haven't been swimming in a loooonnnggg time.
Next up: Gotta get in the dumb lake and get over my fear of OWS. The water is finally a somewhat acceptable temp. Or I think it is...I need to check again.

Oh I forgot - electrolyte: I use Succeed salt capsules. I take one the night before a hot and/or long run. And then directly before. I haven't run more than 11 miles in awhile so haven't needed to supplement mid run. I'm a really salty sweater so if I don't replace my electrolytes, I get really really sick.

I have to do my 14 miles tomorrow because I have family vacation this weekend. I'm struggling mentally with it. I have to get up super early to do it before I leave and I just don't want to. Ugh.

Also, I'm over this 90* with 90% humidity. My tempo run last night was a shit show. 


Any AW's or brags?
My 4 miles on Monday was hot, but I was able to run it SUPER fast. I felt like I was trying to outrun the fires of hell heat, but whatever, at least I had one good run this week.


Bonus: Damn it's hot. What is your electrolyte drink of choice ? When do you drink it? Before? after or during? I use honey stinger waffles and bottles of frozen water (which is thawed and warm by the 5/6 mile mark). Afterward if I need it I drink gatorade and eat some popsicles. I sweat a lot, but usually cold water and the honey stinger waffles get me through.

Still babying my ankle but it's been fine. The heat's been really fun but I've been pulling memories of winter training so I don't complain too much. I don't think I drank enough water after my long run on Saturday and felt like a hot mess the rest of the day.


Any AW's or brags?
I got in all my workouts while on vacation last week. Been hitting my tempo paces.


Bonus: Damn it's hot. What is your electrolyte drink of choice ? When do you drink it? Before? after or during?
For biking I have one bottle of water and one bottle of yellow Gatorade. For running when it's hot like this I do one of two routes that has a bubbler around mile 3ish. I hate to carry a water bottle but if I do I will put Gatorade in it. Based on this weekend I need to do better with my post hot work out routine.

- The humidity is sucking out my soul. It feels like we went from nice temps for so long (well in to June) and then BAM. I was so miserable on my long run today I climbed in a stream at mile 4 and just laid there in the cold water for a minute. I should have worn a tri kit.

Any AW's or brags?
- My swim test was dead on even with last year. So...yay?

Bonus: Damn it's hot. What is your electrolyte drink of choice ? When do you drink it? Before? after or during?
- Hammer Fizz for life. Nuun tears my stomach apart, and I've been too chicken to try the new formula. I also have started doing a BCAA and electrolyte mix, and I really like that too after a sweat session. Hammer Fizz is what I take with me on the run/ride.  I also like doing Blue Powerade after a workout too.

That sounds like an OWS in a pool!!!

Lol - it totally was! I got clocked in the face, there were waves and I had to sight swimming directly into the sun and couldn't see if anyone was in front of me. It might actually have been worse than OWS.

This is the week I am developing my plan   I think I am "only" running two halves this fall, no marathon, since Boston is in April.  

My complaint is that it is ridiculously hot this week.  I have a 5k this Sunday, which I know is going to be super slow.  I'm hoping everyone else will be slow too, so I can win an age group award in my new age group.

We leave for Ireland tomorrow evening! I can't believe it's finally here. I'm excited to leave the crazy heat in DC and enjoy the sites. It will be a different trip that H and I took over 11 years ago with the kids in tow. 



Bonus: Damn it's hot. What is your electrolyte drink of choice ? When do you drink it? Before? after or during? I like Tailwind usually during and/or after. I'll drink some low sugar Gatorade on really hot days. Otherwise it's mostly water.

It has been MUCH harder ramping up the running this time around than it was with baby #1. That's probably because I ran until I delivered with DS but had to stop at around 32 weeks with DD. 




Any AW's or brags?

not this week

scm1011 I had a much longer gap in between my return to running from #1 to #2. Hang in there, it gets better!

[claudiakishi]

What are you training for? Date?
I just put together my list of Fall races. Mainly 5 and 10ks with a 10 Miler in November. I am going to attempt to train for a full marathon again (May) and take the weekly mileage increase much slower this time as well as take the advice I got on here into account.

Training schedule for the week?
Well I wanted to run but I haven’t because humidity. I did some strength though. Hoping to get out early tomorrow, Sat and Sun to get some miles in. I love the heat but not the humidity.

Any issues/vents/complaints? Vent away!
If the humidity could back off a wee bit that would be great.

Any AW's or brags?
Nope! Oh kind of - I finally went to Fleet Feet and got fitted for a new pair of shoes. I had gone there a few years ago and had a bad experience, but this time it was totally different.

Bonus: Damn it's hot. What is your electrolyte drink of choice ? When do you drink it? Before? after or during?
I rediscovered Nuun in the spring. I thought it hurt my stomach but I think that was because I drank it on an empty stomach. I drink it immediately afterwards.
