70-Mile Week: Marathon Training Log & Weight Loss: The 2024 Chicago Marathon Chronicles Ep. 8
The question of going for a sub-4 marathon is still unanswered, but to have a chance at running faster in the 2024 Chicago Marathon I felt I needed to bump up my weekly mileage substantially. Why? To build up extreme endurance-in other words, to supercharge my energy engine. Will a 70-mile training week help the effort? Only time will tell. But in this video, you’ll see the effects of such a long-distance week on my body and stamina (under extreme heat conditions no less) as I document my daily mileage, paces, what I ate, my sleep, the temperature and humidity, and my attempt at losing weight (fat). Watch all the way through to learn how I navigated this demanding training week and see if...

      @jenniferring6410, wow! This is the first I’ve heard anyone say that the shoe didn’t sell well, but this makes sense given that stores I expected to carry the model apparently aren’t doing so now. Considering how amazing the Tempus is, I wonder if its possible lower sales are a result of ineffective marketing. At any rate, thanks so much for providing additional insight into the Tempus sales issues. I so appreciate your comment and hope to see you in the comments again!

    I've read that the update has minimal changes so you may have done well for yourself with the deal on the original. The Hurricane 24 is a stability shoe and a new release from Saucony that is getting a lot of good reviews. It's a max cushion shoe but maybe worth considering in the future depending on your needs.

      Which hat? The mesh one or the wide-brimmed hat? LOL! Yes, that race was HARD! Don’t play around with the 5k, that is for sure!

    Great job on those 5ks! The 5k distance is hard! And you’re right, there are many variables that can effect a marathon race. You’re on the right track, keep training and trust the process.
