3 mile warmup followed by 5 working towards my marathon pace for 8 total. Kinda hard picking up the pace with the stroller, but we got it done. Beautiful afternoon for a run.

3x1 mile threshold repeats this morning. Was supposed to be 4 but I ran out of gas on the 3rd repeat. Not sure I would have been able to hit those paces without the treadmill. Felt good though and a great way to start the day!

3 easy miles on the treadmill and a little bit of strength work this morning. Monster of a workout tomorrow that I’m honestly considering running on the treadmill again. Starting to gain some momentum and hope I can keep it going.

4 mile post-work run. Pretty pleased with the heart rate given the hills I encounter on what is the flattest route near my home.

6 miles on the treadmill, 3 miles easy followed by 3 miles getting progressively quicker settling into my goal marathon pace of 8 min/mile. My goal over these next few months is to make that pace feel natural and something I can sustain over 26.2 miles. Great first step today

6x1/2 Mile repeats at “Half Marathon Pace” this morning. Not quite the paces I wanted to be at, but the legs are still pretty sore from Tuesday’s gym session. Took advantage of what was likely the last 50° morning for the next few months

Easy 4 miles at the gym today and a little bit of strength work to follow up. Nice way to start my mid-week day off.

Starting a 10-week half-marathon plan tomorrow to get myself back into a good running habit and establish a good base mileage before switching over to the Hanson Advanced plan for 18 weeks leading up to my spring marathon. Looking forward to getting back into good running shape

I ran 8 miles today and once again forgot to post about it until now. Despite the added wrinkle that comes with running with a stroller, I’m finding that I’ve really been enjoying that time with my son. Not sure I’d want to go too much longer than that though

Did 7 miles today and was too busy to post about it until now. Felt a little sore from the uphill climbing yesterday, but overall was a good long run. Off day tomorrow and I’m hoping to hit my workouts this week

5 mile stroller run that was pretty easy for the first 3 miles and then I had to go uphill into the wind. Pleased overall with how it went though. Happy that I’m able to have that space with my son and give my wife a little break

4 “easy” miles. Pretty pleased with that considering the hills and pushing the toddler in the stroller. Forgot the post-run selfie because my son was napping and I was trying to get him inside without waking him up.

Haven’t gone that long in quite some time. 9 miles total with 3 repeats of 1mi tempo, 2mi easy. Found a flat trail that’s going to work great for future long workouts like this. Didn’t quite hit my paces, but it felt good anyways.

5 miles with 2 tempo miles thrown in. Hills made the tempo miles a little more difficult, but ultimately I felt great on this run. And Coros says my fitness went up, and I’m not about to argue with my watch.

Time to start committing more to my running. Spring Half and Full have been registered for and just put myself in the lottery for Chicago Marathon 2026 #running #runsky #marathon #marathontraining

That wasn’t the easiest run, but I got it done. The wind was brutal, which didn’t make it any easier, and I was also running with a small pack to get things home from the office.

2 miles downhill and 2 miles right back up. Cold morning, but a good run. Still trying to get into a regular rhythm with my run schedule, but we’ll get there.

5x1km threshold repeats. First real bit of speed work I’ve done in a while and it kicked my butt. Actually found a mostly flat loop though, so that helped.

Off week last week, but I’m getting back on track. 3 miles with strides. Had to bundle up for the cold for the first time since the spring. Love the new hat.

3 miles with strides. Starting an 8 week training plan from Coros to focus on improving my threshold pace. From there I’ll start working on building weekly mileage as I start training for my spring marathon.

3.5 miles in the heat with hills and a stroller is basically 4 right?

4 miles this morning. The 3rd mile was basically one long uphill climb, but I’m feeling good so far after. Getting into a routine and rhythm, excited to start training towards a goal once again!

Was able to get away to the gym this afternoon for an easy 5 mile run on the treadmill (not the best weather outside today). Felt great and what I think I needed to get some mojo back.

Back at it. Even a short route couldn’t avoid the hills. Felt good to be back out there though. 3 miles done.

Haven’t run in a couple weeks with the move and starting a new job. Was getting too much in my own head about getting started back up and trying to just jump all in. Took a step back today and realized to just keep it simple. 3 easy miles tomorrow morning
