If It's Not A Dog Video, I Don't Want It

Happy Sunday, I hope everyone had a great week! Nick and I had a relaxing weekend, with of course a day at the dog park for Charley on Saturday, the highlight of her week. This was my last week of mileage between 25-30 before I start ramping up a little bit for New York. I finished up the week with a 9 mile long run today, and we’ll pretty much only be in the double digits for long run days from here on out 😅.

I’ve been taking advantage of my unstructured training phase the last couple of weeks. I had one day where I was super sore from a new lift I did, so I pushed my run to a different day to allow my body more time to recover. As always, I never regret taking that extra day! My goal when I do officially start my structure training is to keep that flexibility, which I’ve found to be absolutely key in staying healthy and enjoying my training.

In today’s newsletter:

• What’s for dinner? I’ve planned out your week in meals and snacks so you don’t have to! Check out my menu plan for the week, and some simple recipes to go with it.

• Weekly accountability challenge: For the month of July, we’re focusing on hydration. This week, we’ll build off of last week’s challenge by working on adding more electrolytes throughout the day.

• Science corner: Have you heard that drinking beet juice can help with performance? Today I’m going to breakdown the science behind that so you can decide for yourself if it’s something you want to try!

• Food for thought: Last week I talked about data overload from tracking data, but this week I’m talking about another kind of data overload I’ve been experiencing. In this case, it’s from social media.
