    I’m training for a marathon in the fall also and I’ve been struggling in this heat and where I live the humidity is continuously over 80% which makes it increasingly more difficult. I need to start waking up earlier for these runs. Skipped my long run last week and attempted it again this week to fail… felt like I was going to pass out so I had to stop.

    I recently found your channel. I ran my first marathon in 2023, and it was also a long journey for me. I originally wanted to run a fall marathon in 2020, but we all know what happened to that plan. I actually did something even crazier than you -- I ran Toronto Waterfront in October 2023, and then CIM only 7 weeks later. I was so glad to be done with marathon training after CIM, and deliberately decided not to run a spring marathon this year. But I'm back at it training for Chicago now :)

      @@EMELYNJADE May, 6 - May 12. It clearly says 121 miles. Notice that I said cross training. Cross training is any training outside of your primary movement. I'm not the one trying to run well in the marathon. You can't argue with the results. You've had multiple weeks over 100 miles from March to the end of May. That's including running, swimming and biking. If you want to run your marathon well, maybe consider being honest and structure your training better. I get that you want people to write great job or just like the video since you felt like you worked hard. However, hard work doesn't always means that it's productive.

    Congrats babe!!! I've started training three months ago and it's been such a fun journey (and crazy). There really aren't so many female Ironman creators out there so I'm SO HAPPY I found your channel!

    Great vid. The lower series forerunner does have full multisport support as well now, the Forerunner 255 and 265. They're branded 'running watches' but are really fully featured triathlon watches now.

    Thanks for sharing your journey! I'm currently just under 2 weeks away from my first 70.3 and i'm just nervously watching every triathlon video i come across 🤣 just trying to remind myself that it's okay to take my time on the course and that i'm only there to complete the race in my own pace😊 congrats on your 70.3 and also the wedding!!

    Thanks for sharing your videos. I find training / exercise is so important for mental health and well being but making time is hard. Your vids are really motivating. Thanks (and best of luck!)❤

    What kind of bike did you use? Did you end up adding tri bars or anything?

    • @EMELYNJADE
      @EMELYNJADE Місяць тому

      I used the Trek Domane AL4. And no I didn’t add tri bars. Since it had a lot of hills and turns, it wasn’t really needed (and I’m also new to this and felt like I wasn’t ready to invest in tri bars just yet)

    Huge congrats!! So great to hear that the swim went well for you! I so appreciate you sharing all of the details because we sometimes just see that finish line time and how great they felt at the end, but we don’t get to hear the struggles and the work that went it. You’re amazing!! 🎉😊

    Great job with the race! Not everything goes to plan -so nice job working with the conditions and issues to have a great finish! Oh and I learned that nothing is as flat as what I train on at home. So “flat” is flat(ish) to me most of the time …
