💨 It all started eight weeks ago, when bostoncherry convinced me to sign up for a marathon with hopes of qualifying for Boston. I was crazy to say yes! This is the story of how not to train ❌

💨 Luckily, I had a base of 13 miles to start, but quickly ramped up to 20 miles in a matter of only three weeks. 

💨 All of this running while still pumping out five new YouTube workouts per week. I pushed myself to the absolute limit with early mornings and tough training. 

💨 It was super aggressive and finally got to be too much one week ago when I strained my calf while running. 

💨 Two weeks ago I would’ve said I was super confident about this race, and had Boston in my sights. Now, I’m anxiety ridden and just hoping to finish the race. I pretty much took one full week of doing almost nothing and now the race is tomorrow! Anything can happen, so make sure to follow my stories for updates! 

💨 I hope you learned a big lesson from this. If you want to do a marathon, give yourself loads of time to train properly! it takes time to build up this much mileage and getting injured is no fun.

💨 Share with all your running buddies so they don’t make my mistakes
