Big believer in self talk. but i'm normally saying "come on, brenda" "keep this same pace, brenda". But now i am going to add things like "pick up your feet" "focus on form". Thanks for the video!
Thank you so much Matt for your Self Talk Tip! I have an epic training week ahead as I’m gearing up for my first organized 5k and I’m very excited to use the “you” method 😎 cheers!
Ahh, congrats on your upcoming first 5k! Soak up every moment! I know you'll have a lot of fun! I was almost going to ask for you to let me know how using "you" statements works for you, but I think it's one of those things we can't actually measure as individuals. Trust the science and tell yourself "you've got this," because you do! Check back in next Monday and LMK about your race! 👊🏼
Had a great week of training on hills. The high light was a 16 miler on Saturday. I can feel myself getting fitter and fitter everyday. I’ll be in Florida on a family vacation in August. I haven’t decided if I will use the treadmill, or run outside for my workouts the humidity zaps my energy, I am not sure how you do it day after day 😂😂…..Great video Matt!
Good job getting in those hills, and of course nicely done getting that long run in! 💪 As far as running in Florida, remember it's about effort rather than hitting workouts the same as you would in NY. You'll be fine, perhaps a little more sweaty, but fine!
I’m working toward running 100 miles for St Jude children’s hospital. Going well. Multiple days of 8 minute miles. Have a small pain in the ball of my right foot.. hopefully nothing significant. I LOVE RUNNING!
It's so interesting to see your stats Wed vs Thurs! I'm a huge fan of mantras. I actually write them down whenever I come across a new one, for running or any part of life. Having a bunch handy means I can pick the one that best helps my mood and the circumstance. When I'm struggling in a 50k, it absolutely helps me keep going. I'll adjust them to "you" now, thanks!
Wed vs. Thurs was quite surprising to me, although it just goes to teach us not worry to much about a single bad run. When I ran my first hundo, I printed very small mantras and laminated them so I could pull them out if needed and read them.
My week is going well. I have ran in my first early morning run before work and it felt good to run in the morning. That is a interesting study. Most of my long runs I have to tell myself that I can do it. Thanks for sharing!!
@@its_Matt_B_ yes your right. Worked on keeping an even pace throughout. I felt really comfortable and must have timed it well as I had nothing left in the tank as crossed the finish line.
@@its_Matt_B_ im going to talk about that on my Friday Vlog. i find i go faster being lighter. less gravity to deal with... plus less pressure on. your feet.
@@RunnersCorner2024 Tread lightly with the whole lighter is faster topic. It’s not always the case and there are a lot of downsides to being underweight and being an athlete. (Read about bone loss and specifically look up the female athlete triadI) ’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the subject!
Mon easy am and pm, Thur, Sat, easy. Tue easy hill recovery run. Tuesday 10x300 at mile pace. Friday AM 12,9,6,3 minutes at threshold 2 min jog rests, Friday pm 8x1k at just faster than threshold with 1 min. Jog rests. Sunday easy am, PM long run. 69.9 miles.
Man. I didn't win, but that was a fun raffle haha+
I really dragged the raffle segement out. 😂 It was fun only having two people to draw!

Do you have a time frame to complete the distance! Keep up the great work! 💪
@@its_Matt_B_ it is a challenge for the month of July. My goal is to keep plugging away each day.
@@taylorjordan1362 Excellent! Consistency is what it's all about! Just put your head down and keep plugging away!

Ooh. Going to mix in instructional and you statements. Thanks for the tips!
It's the little things that make a big difference! 💪

Good to hear you enjoyed running in the morning. Be sure to let me know if you notice anything different from changing how you address yourself.
@@its_Matt_B_ 👍
I did a PB on half marathon on Sunday. I was pleased as worked on my pacing.
Wow! Huge congrats on the PB! How did you work on our pacing? Did you maintain an even pace throughout?
@@its_Matt_B_ yes your right. Worked on keeping an even pace throughout. I felt really comfortable and must have timed it well as I had nothing left in the tank as crossed the finish line.
@@paulspinks884 Perfect! Congrats on running an ideal race! 💪
good week I hit marathon running weight this week, 165lbs strong track day on Tuesday. Great video Matt
Cheers, Ryan! Is 165 lbs your goal weight in life, or are you down to racing weight? Either way, phenomenal job getting in such good shape!
@@its_Matt_B_ Racing weight
Getting lean for a half fast marathon
@@RunnersCorner2024 Nice! How much does race weight differ from everyday weight?
