It took me a long time to realize the importance of cross-training, and I'm still trying to fully implement it!Abby @ Change of Pacehttp://thechangeofpace.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272628930275648239.post-37774917136176867952012-05-08T12:09:39.873-07:002012-05-08T12:09:39.873-07:00I agree!!

Because I'm different and have different needs. We're all different and figuring out what works best for us is half the battle! I'm glad that having some fun time is a priority of yours, you deserve it!!<br />Are you still planning on Vegas for your birthday?! I'm starting to plan my 30th.

I stopped running with a watch because it made me frustrated and hate running. Since then I've PRed in my marathon time by 10 minutes. By having fun, it helps me remember why I'm doing this in the first place and keeps me motivated and excited for the next race.Lora @ Crazy Running Girlhttp://www.crazyrunninggirl.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272628930275648239.post-40878659909425275592012-05-07T21:47:33.978-07:002012-05-07T21:47:33.978-07:00I have that book!

I'm not a runner by nature, and if I run too often, I start missing cycling, hiking, etc and it makes me resent running. As long as I keep all of my stuff balanced, I remember that I love them all equally :)Colorado Galhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07725854485169654288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272628930275648239.post-22020564046502211802012-05-06T14:24:37.939-07:002012-05-06T14:24:37.939-07:00Aaaaaagreed.

When you figure it out, I hope you'll share.<br /><br />The only thing I've figured out is that, personally, I can only run 3 times a week. I trained for MCM last year using the FIRST program and I'm a much stronger runner because of it! (although MCM was my proof positive that races are not pop tarts) Maybe check out the book Run Less, Run Faster?Elizabethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272628930275648239.post-20750153562811507152012-05-06T05:14:30.905-07:002012-05-06T05:14:30.905-07:00Right on, sister.

Some people can squeeze all three in a week plus a race! I know when I did that I ended up with lower back spasms and missed my last 22 miler for Carlsbad. Now I know that I can do one, and occasionally two (not every week), speed/tempo per week safely.chiarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09597283400851387772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272628930275648239.post-61130898072049115092012-05-05T16:17:44.315-07:002012-05-05T16:17:44.315-07:00Really great post Ms Bunny! As I enter into traini...Really great post Ms Bunny! As I enter into training for my next marathon in the next few weeks, I can't help but think about nearly everything you wrote above. I see everyone with their shiny new PR's and I'm still picking up the pieces of what should have been a great start to the new year thanks to my damn hip flexor. It's hard not to compare, it's hard to reel yourself in and be realistic about your fitness and it's hard to find a program that works without burning you out. <br /><br />Currently I'm still head over heels about running, mainly because I couldn't for 3 months. I know that feeling will probably fade, so to avoid burnout I'm hiring a running coach to help me train smart and get to the start of the next few races healthy and happy. I'm convinced this will be the extra push I need to not burnout. Happy running to you!Xaarlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09103441780159368391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272628930275648239.post-69756832810310853422012-05-05T15:40:28.024-07:002012-05-05T15:40:28.024-07:00OMG, I soo needed to read that..."races are n...OMG, I soo needed to read that..."races are not like a pop tart." Wow, so RIGHT!<br /><br />We all have a lot to learn, and listening to our bodies, not always easy. Sometimes, we are right but usually, its our bodies that over rule.<br /><br />Just keep moving forward!

I take a few days and really track - no GPS, no Mapmyrun, no splits, no thinking about my "plan" - I just run. That said, I also have to be wary about reading about others' training during this time because I always feel like I can do better, go faster, and need to push harder. But for the love of running...sometimes a girl's just gotta slip on her shoes and hit the trails!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
