Berlin v NYC What the Heck Happened

Join me as I spend the week recovering and reflecting on my Fall marathon season. What was different between Berlin v NYC, and what I believe led to my success in one and stepping off the course in the other. What's next, and, of course, cute shots of Charlotte frolicking through the woods on our daily hikes.

Great topic for a vlog! I have an idea for a vlog - more of a travel style video as you get to travel to such cool cities for the marathons such as Berlin and NYC.

Great idea! I actually have a video from our Berlin/Paris trip ready to go. Stay tuned for that, I’m considering doing “vlogmas” and will release it during that time. If you haven’t watched it yet, week 6 of my Berlin training was mostly cruise vlog.

Cab you talk about what your race strategy was? I’m doing Berlin and scared of the cut off

My strategy was to try to relax and stick to my race plan. Which was 30:30 intervals the whole way. I was working with a coach that wasn’t right for me, so I didn’t have the confidence going into it that I have now with my current coach.
My best advice: trust your training and be confident that you can do it. Easier said than done but it really can help. Also… spend your time before the marathon making sure it’s as close to your usual routine (eat what you normally would, hydrate as usual and make sure that you have water throughout your flight). I can go on and on but those are the best things I can tell you. 🙃
