I’m a late-blooming masters runner who hopes to inspire you to move!
If you’re not a natural-born runner, join the club. Before the Chicago running scene and a back-of-the-pack runner inspired me to lace up, I didn’t run at all. That changed one magical day in the Windy City, and years later, running is what keeps me going. On this channel, I share my personal marathon stories and what I’ve learned to become a better runner and happier person in the process. If running is of any interest to you, I hope you’ll join me on the channel as a subscriber. I have many stories, adventures, and tips to share!

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...

Marathon Strength & Speed Training: Bridge Running Can Improve Your Run, Marathon Motivation

However, he mentioned that bridge running improves muscle strength and the cardiovascular system and can improve your speed, making you a faster runner.

Hi, everyone! I will be announcing contest details for a subscriber giveaway in about a week. Check out this video to learn about the prize: ruclips.net/video/autrlQVWO9s/видео.html
I felt your panic when I heard ‘discontinued’! 😮 Game changing shoe for me too. It hasn’t gotten enough love. Most of my local running stores aren’t carrying it because they said it didn’t sell well. I really feel like they didn’t understand this particular shoe.
@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! Also, check out my video link in the comments about an upcoming subscriber giveaway. I’ll be announcing contest details in about a week. Thanks again for commenting!
FAB!!
Thank you! Keep watching for the contest start date and details.
Hi girl yes congrats enter me😂
Thanks for watching, @AWhimsical.StapleGun! Keep watching for upcoming contest details.
Awesome love please count me in
Thanks so much for watching and subscribing, @melsun.63! Keep watching for the contest details! I appreciate you.
That's really nice,good bag and great cup for morning coffee,have blessed evening
Thank you so much, @pennyburford643! I hope you have a great evening too!
You can wear 2 different colors at the same time. Good deal!
LOL! Another commenter said the same thing a few weeks ago. You’re right . . . I sure could. Thanks for commenting!
Tempus 2 is out where I live. It has gained 1/2 ounce weight and lost and 3.5 mm stack height in the heel. It still 8mm drop. Not sure what these changes mean when you run in them. They look great though.
Wow. They are out! Makes me wonder why they were rumored to be discontinued. I also wonder what the changes will mean for speed. The presumption is that, somehow, these changes will help improve speed??? I sure hope so. Thanks so much for commenting! I really appreciate the information and you taking the time to let us know!
Release date in the US is 9/4. I can’t wait to get my feet in them!
@Adamas11, after you’ve tried them, please let us know your thoughts about the update in the comments! Looking forward to hearing from you again!
@@TheMarathonMaster Reportedly the only change is the upper.
Yes, I’ve been hearing about the upper! Another commenter said it’s gained a 1/2 ounce and lost 3.5 mm heel stack height. Hopefully the changes will aid speedy efforts despite the fact the shoe supposedly weighs more. Thanks for commenting!
Congratulations!
Thank you! I truly appreciate this. Point 2 is truly a great store, and I hope you get to check it out.
That is awesome congratulations ,on being ambassador .so proud of you
Thank you, @pennyburford643! I deeply appreciate you!
I’ve run down many pairs of Tempus. I love ‘em. My current pair has a little more life left. I plan on getting the Tempus 2 in the ViziOrange/Dusk color. I like my running shoes to have some pop. I am looking forward to the updated upper, even though it will be about 1/2 heavier than v1. Sept 4th. Countdown…18 days! 🙌 Hopefully no more delays.
I heard that the new version is going to be a tad heavier too. I hope that doesn’t affect speed too much. The ViziOrange/Dusk color you mentioned sounds awesome. Maybe once you wear them a few times you can drop another comment on this video and give an update on whether you like the new shoe! That said, I’m wondering why the release has been delayed. Thanks for commenting!!!
I hope the added weight does not affect speed too much as well. Yeah, I’ll come back here after I’ve put some miles on them. The release date was delayed due to supply chain issues, which is common these days.
I’m looking forward to your update! Thanks, also, for explaining the release delay. :-)
I thought those were Nike shoes from the camera angle!
You just gave Saucony a promotion-if you like Nike, that is! Thanks for commenting!
@@TheMarathonMaster I hate Nike shoes, that big cringy logo! I've run in Sauconys in the past, but focus on Asics now.
The ASICS Gel-Kayano 29 got me through a hip injury/issue. Occasionally, I still wear them when I want to reduce impact during my runs. I think that Sauconys are still my favorite though!
Fab!!
Thank you!
Great job, Keep going ,The Olympics was awesome, Go USA, You can do it,love you and so proud of you
Thank you!
Just keep doing your best!
I will! Thank you!
Good job on the 50 mile ramp up! Thanks for the mention! You’ve just inspired me to do my workout on the track today. I’m in urgent need of some speed work 😅
So glad the video has inspired you to get in track work! I had a lot of fun out there today. Hope you do too! And thanks for the advice on cutting back on mileage every few weeks. Coming from a USATF-certified coach, it makes me feel OK to “take a break.”
Use tempus for everything love them. Tempus 2 out in a couple of weeks only an upper update so you done the right thing.
I’m starting to wonder if I should use Tempus for everything too! It’s a great race shoe for sure, but I’ve found I also like it for training. I switch in and out of my old pair to sometimes put on a “slower” shoe when I am getting in long miles. Wish I had more money so I could buy more Tempus 1s!!! Oh well, we can’t have everything.
I like the hair!
Thank you! It’s all due to necessity.
Those sneakers are cool and cute colors. I love your hair. If it works for you, keep using them.Great sale,
Thank you! The hair is out of necessity because of all the running and the need to wash and go every day. Yes, it was a great sale! I’m happy to have the shoes.
Congratulations, I'm so proud of you, Nice outfit,that's excellent,You can go it,❤😊
Thank you! I will keep going! Thanks for your energy, enthusiasm, and constant support!
Very cool! Love the Tracksmith outfit! Congrats on ramping up the mileage! You’re keeping me motivated! 😄
Take a look at the 2024 one on their website! That’s what I’ll be wearing. Congrats to you also for keeping up the training. Let’s SMOKE Chicago.
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.
Yes, I’ve heard the same about the Tempus 2-minimal changes. Looking forward to trying one of these pairs after I wear out the blue Tempus shoes I’ve been using. I’m going to look into the Hurricane as well. I’ve heard lots of great things about this shoe too. By the way, if you’re interested, I also saw today that the Tempus is on sale-$120-on the Fleet Feet website. Thanks so much for commenting. I appreciate you!
Why not mix colours? 😂
@deks440, LOL! Actually, that’s a cool tip. Ironically, I have a pair of mismatched Nike slides-they were sold that way, with one slide with a black upper and white heel, and the other slide with a white upper and black heel-that attract a lot of eyeballs when I’m out (and sometimes compliments). Thanks so much for commenting!
@TheMarathonMaster oh really lol. Well could look good 👌🏾
Some people tell me they do look good. LOL!
Hoping the updated version of your favorite running shoes will be better!
Thanks, @patross4597. I’m hearing that design tweaks on the new shoe won’t make the shoe better. That being said, I’m glad I got the shoe at a highly discounted rate as I’ll be needing them and it’s easy to “run through” running shoes quickly.
The Tempus is a great shoe. Hopefully the 2nd version will fit as well as the original.
I’m hearing that the only change in Tempus 2 is the upper and that the shoe will/may weigh a bit more. People who have mentioned this don’t seem to think much of changing the upper and aren’t please that the shoe may be weightier, which makes sense-their lack of appreciation for the change-if the aim is to use the shoe for faster race times.
Beautiful birthday tribute to a wonderful woman!
Happy birthday 🎉

Thought provoking
Thanks for watching!
Just do your best to keep qualifying.
I will do my best, but at this point, it would be nowhere near a 3:50 marathon, even with all my training. I would have a better chance at qualifying for Boston!
I did not realize that the time standards had changed for Chicago, good to know. And as we agreed, it is you vs you, show up, do your best and try to beat your previous time.
Yes, it seems that Chicago snuck these new times in. You’re right. Let’s train to the best of our ability and then show up and do our best!
They set standards higher,This year but keep the faith,You can do it I believe in you,Love you so much , always proud of you
Thank you so much for believing in my ability. I have to tell you, I’m quite certain that I am not near a 3:50 performance, but this knowledge will not prevent me from training to be prepared to do my best on marathon day.
A week of training in the place you enjoy being . Wonderful pictures and scenes. Stay strong and motivated.
Thanks for the encouragement! You keep me going!
Two thumbs UP!!
@Myronscorner, thank you!
I'm still so proud of you,outstanding friends you have.Great job, please continue practicing makes perfect outcomes. I love your energy and great motivation .
@pennyburford643, thank you so much! You are awesome. You keep me going!
Just keep bit going.
That hat is awesome, i love it,I can just imagine how hard those 5K races are ,but you're doing great.
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!
You did great,yes wear light colors,keep going
I’ll keep going! Your support means a lot.
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.
Thanks so much. I’ll keep training!
Love the straw hat
Thanks.
Loved the video. You keep trying you will get to sub4.
The question of sub 4 is still up in the air! Thanks for commenting.
