Indy Marathon

Warmup

Morning Run

Evening Run

I’ve always been against the idea of gels because my stomach is extremely sensitive. For my first marathon, I figured I’d see if it was possible to go without them. Today, I realized the answer to that question is a resounding no, as I put together 20 perfectly paced miles right under 2:55 pace and felt absolutely amazing, and then within the span of 10 minutes had my legs completely shut down to the point where I couldn’t move. This race was really disappointing, but I learned a very valuable lesson and was encouraged by the fact that the fitness for sub 2:55 was absolutely there, it is just the fueling that I need to figure out. Going to take some much needed time off before trying again and figuring out a fuel strategy that works with my stomach. One of these days I’ll finally put it all together🤞(also IU managed to win so at least the day wasn’t a total loss)
