Running

Anyone have the experience of racing a marathon shockingly well after a not super great training cycle? 🤣 

*not great defined as* - off on paces in workouts, maybe some illness/injury which cut the training block short by a significant amount, etc.

just wondering what's possible lol

It takes time to go back to previous paces. Especially the long distance one. Your aerobic base has to be reconstructed properly.

😆 totally healthy and fine (fortunately!).. and incredibly grateful for that! but paces that used to be real easy for me, I’m just struggling with now… and I also signed up for this marathon 🤣
