So, I ran the 2018 NYC Marathon and this is my official race recap. I have not been writing a ton on the blog – I have honestly been spending more time on Instagram  but I have a lot of thoughts on this race and wanted to put them in long form rather than just on the gram. So here we go.  NYC was my 10th marathon finish line (I have two DNF’s that I don’t count in my total) and my 3rd World Major (after Chicago and Berlin ). I had a goal of taking it all in and enjoying the experience – no time goals associated with this one. I trained moderately – with lower mileage than I usually do for marathons but more flexibility. You can read more about my training here . I was incredibly excited for the race for a number of reasons: It was going to be my tenth marathon finish and that’s pretty amazing.  I had a TON of friends both running and cheering.  I have never run in Staten Island, Brooklyn or the Bronx.  It has been a tough year and I felt a true need to c...

The plan said 2 mile warm up, but I didn’t read it properly, so did a 1 mile warm up, then I ran out of time so did a 0.5 mile cool down. It might not sound like much, but… The post The Miles Matter appeared first on The Runner Beans . View Source

Keeping hydrated on Water Wednesday Things that runners should have plenty of: sleep, motivation and water. Things I struggle with since becoming a parent: sleep, time to train and keeping hydrated. I was never a massive coffee drinker before I had a baby. But now it’s a regular part of my day. Not so much to keep me awake, but as a way to take 5 mins for myself why my son has his morning nap and a thing to do with mum friends. Even writing this blog, I have a cup of coffee on the go because, although I’m sat at a kitchen table hoping a baby stays asleep a little longer, it makes me feel like those days of sitting in a cafe writing with a flat white and slice of cake. Since day one of being a parent, I know I haven’t drunk enough water. There’s always something else to do. Hurriedly getting out the door the bottle of water gets missed and walking around the park for hours to get a baby to sleep, the last thing I want is a toilet stop to wake him up. It gets to about 8pm at night ...

I finished my half marathon last month, disappointed with the time on the clock but happy with how training had gone. It really couldn’t have been better. The week after the Royal Parks Half I paced the Great South Run, and despite still having the cold I carried round the Royal Parks with me, I felt really good running and the 10 min/mile pace felt like running on a cloud. But, the week following my cold didn’t get any better and though I headed off on holiday with my running kit in my suitcase, it stayed there the whole week. On one day I coughed for a whole hour so much so that I hurt my ribs which were sore for days after. It took a good few weeks to shift my cold, and just when I was able to run again, I pulled something in my side (possibly an oblique) which made me stop my run after 1.4 miles and walk home. Runners, you’ll know how hard it is to stop a run without rounding up to the nearest mile or at least half mile, so that’s a sure sign that something was wrong. So as u...
