You never know what else your legs have in you until you consistently add track workouts to your weekly training. Doing #gritervals has helped me qualify for Boston 30+times and run a 3:15 Marathon. They hurt but they help. Give them a try and also try to train with people faster than you ✅. . . . #runcoachtips #chicagomarathon2022 #londonmarathon2022 #nycmarathon2022 #stjudememphismarathon #YOUtooCanDo262 #keeponwhispering #coachdenise #chicagorunner #1runneratatime #marathontraining #instarunners #marathonwhisperer #virtualcoach #sixstarfinisher #sevencontinentsclub #authorsofinstagram #author #runningcoach #marathoner #ultrarunner #marathoncoach . @tailwindnutrition @bocogear @trail_toes

Running is my therapy (alongside my therapist, Melissa!) and I do not want it taken away, so I really listen to my body when it tells me to slow my roll or take some time off. I hope you find some of my tips helpful in keeping injuries at bay✅. Remember too that there is only 1 you and there is always another race around the corner so sometimes you have to choose rest over racing and it’s ok. . . . . #runcoachtips #chicagomarathon2022 #londonmarathon2022 #nycmarathon2022 #stjudememphismarathon #YOUtooCanDo262 #keeponwhispering #coachdenise #chicagorunner #1runneratatime #marathontraining #instarunners #marathonwhisperer #virtualcoach #sixstarfinisher #sevencontinentsclub #authorsofinstagram #author #runningcoach #marathoner #ultrarunner #marathoncoach . @tailwindnutrition @bocogear @trail_toes

Fueling is all about having the right amount of nutrition that isnt so much, that you end up with GI Issues. Sometimes its like a bad math problem but lucikly you have long runs to oractice your nutrition content and timing. Hydration is also key in that you want to stay ahead of being thirsty abd also make sure you are replacing your electrolytes a long the way✅ . . . #runcoachtips #chicagomarathon2022 #londonmarathon2022 #nycmarathon2022 #stjudememphismarathon #YOUtooCanDo262 #keeponwhispering #coachdenise #chicagorunner #1runneratatime #marathontraining #instarunners #marathonwhisperer #virtualcoach #sixstarfinisher #sevencontinentsclub #authorsofinstagram #author #runningcoach #marathoner #ultrarunner #marathoncoach . @tailwindnutrition @bocogear @trail_toes

I get asked a lot by my runners to QA their #runningform and for the most part as long as you are not running like Phoebe from the Episode of #Friends when her and Rachel are running in Central Park, you are good ✅.

🧊Ice, 🧊Ice, baby is a great way to give back to your legs after a long run, hard workout and or race. The cold water really helps the inflammation go down in the muscles. I reccommend about 10-15 minutes. Give it a try after your next long run and lmk what you think! . . . . . #runcoachtips #chicagomarathon2022 #londonmarathon2022 #nycmarathon2022 #stjudememphismarathon #YOUtooCanDo262 #keeponwhispering #coachdenise #chicagorunner #1runneratatime #marathontraining #instarunners #marathonwhisperer #virtualcoach #sixstarfinisher #sevencontinentsclub #authorsofinstagram #author #runningcoach #marathoner #ultrarunner #marathoncoach . @tailwindnutrition @bocogear @trail_toes

✌️ Peace Out ✌️to the Inaugural @RunShowUsa Chicago edition! . I had so much fun (as you can tell from my pics) seeing lots of my friends stop by my booth and then meeting some new friends…some of them even left my booth excited about taking on their first marathon. We know they can do it too💪  I even had a non runner come up and tell me that she really enjoyed my talk on Saturday about, "When Your Best IS ENOUGH!" . What I loved about this expo was that it was race agnostic and runner/walker inclusive no matter where you were at in your journey. I even met someone who had just started run/walking last week and I got to meet Henry Ward who just completed the Cocdona 250 miler! . If you couldn't make the Chicago edition, be on the lookout for the LA (9/24&9/25) and Boston shows in September (9/24&9/25) and February (2/4 and 2/5)! . . . #YOUtooCanDo262 #keeponwhispering #coachdenise #onerunneratatime #marathontraining #runforchange #instarunners #marathonwhisperer #virtualcoach #sixstarfinisher #sevencontinentsclub #authorsofinstagram #runningcoach #marathoner #ultrarunner #marathoncoach . @tailwindnutrition @bocogear

2022 Sugar Badger 50-Miler Race Review
I am doing double duty today with #MedalMonday and a #RaceReview . Saturday I finished the #SugarBadger50miler (which was actually 52 miles, that's how ultras roll. They are +/- and even though we know there will be extra credit, we still sign up!) It was put on by @tenjunkmilesracing which is a sister company of my fav podcast @tenjunkmiles . First off, the hosts, Scott and Holly were not making $hit up when they talked about this course. It WAS as beautiful as they mentioned. Check out some of my footage if you don't belive me. It was also nice and pancake flat except for some bad boy hills that they had around mile 4 and then revisiting again around mile 46? I honestly think that on the way back that the hills multiplied. I kept reminding myself that "at least I am not biking this" as I don't bike well on hills. I lose momentim and fall sideways trying to pedal up hill (Ironman Wisc training circa 2003 and 2011) #truestory . The aid stations on the course were a combination of full stacked Trail Angels + a Smorgasboard...they had everything you could want...even hot of the grill, grilled cheese and cheeseburger...oh wait, can you say popsicles too?! The only thing that they didn't have was "fresh legs". It never hurts to ask, right? Tied with the beauty, the other best part of Saturday's race was all of my peeps I got to see on the course and my Ten Junk Miles friends that I have only known online but got to meet IRL for the first time. I don't know of any other podcasts that have created a community through their listenership. . I want to give a HUGE SHOUT OUT to my girl Pilar, who fought with ever piece of grit in her body to run her first 50 Mile+ Ultra! I have been work with her since last November. Yep, she could have picked a true 50 mile ultra but , nope, she said, bring on extra credit! I could not be more P R O U D! #Iwillbeback #MarathonUltra135 #tenjunkmiles
