Instagram - @katherun26.2

Despite the crazy look on his face, Brooks did in fact run well today and was just more interested in the cameraman than getting an Instagram-worthy photo. 25 mins with Ross and another 15 with Brooks (he’s staying with us for the week) - nice to have running buddies this morning!
First little speed workout back and it’s always nice to surprise yourself with the legs not being as rusty as anticipated! Had a classic early season workout with 10x1 minute hard, 1 minute easy - I’ve seen lots of people doing this lately and it usually signals the start of marathon training or at least getting close to it! I really like effort-based work because it takes the pressure off early in the season to have to hit any set pace - hard is hard and it’s relative when you’re going uphill vs downhill, hot day vs cooler day, etc. Today’s intervals averaged 5:54 pace and were between 5:37 (last one)-6:07 (fully uphill one). I’m really happy with this and grateful for the weather cooperating for the first time in awhile! Back to the 90s Thursday but for now I’m enjoying the pleasant 70s 😎 marathon training is slowly but surely making its way back and I’m pretty excited about it!
1. Tracksmith lane 5 shorts might just be my new favorite
Sunday runs are quickly becoming my favorite because this guy’s officially up to 25 minutes of consecutive running and that means more time together on the run 🥰 in the 10 years that we’ve been together, we’ve rarely run together and that’s mostly because Ross doesn’t like running that much and I’m not a believer in pushing someone to do something they don’t like when there are so many other forms of exercise to choose from. He’s always been so supportive of my running, though, and when I started a free couch to 5K program for my co-workers 8 weeks ago, I think he signed up mostly to support me. Secretly I was hoping he might come to enjoy it and maybe, just maybe we’ll get there now that he’s almost up to running that 5K continuously. Running gets more fun the longer you’re able to spend in motion and I think a big reason so many people convince themselves that they hate it is because it’s hard work to get yourself to that point. The program I’m doing with my runners is 10 weeks long and while a couple have dropped out, about 80% have seen it through the whole way up to this point and I’m so proud of them because starting from zero with running is hard.
