Somehow, we have already made it to week 10 of marathon training – which means we are half way through training! We are going through it as we exist in an armpit of humidity that is NY in July, as the miles stack up.

On the day of recording we got that rare morning that felt like spring, and while Katie struck gold with her morning run, while Kelly and Mike lamented missing out this morning.

We discuss our weekend run plans, and where our favorite local spots to get in a long run are – also, our least favorites, which usually include hills.

Kelly has needed to cut back on her runs as a result of a recurring injury, and talks about her plans going forward with this training cycle.

We eventually make our way into talking about the last week of training, and the long runs that we each got in. Mike headed to Hershey park, which added a layer of complication to getting a run in!

We chat about learning through marathon training, and the mistakes that we made as newbie runners, and the gambles we make with our eating habits before long runs to this day. We also complain about chafing, in a way that does not translate well to audio, so just know that we hate chafing.

We close out the episode talking about fueling again, now that we are deeper into training and the miles are getting longer.
