Athletes of the Optimism Collective

this was BRUTAL but completed my birthday (& first ever) marathon!

grateful for all the friends that joined along the way

First long run since the IM. My base level of fitness for running got cooked in just 2 weeks! 😭

HR was above 160 the whole time, really had to dig deep

We're back running again!!! Check engine lights are off!! (but still flickering 🤣)

Will be running 27mi for my 27th this month (Oct 17)!! Also my first attempt at a marathon

Haven't run at all the last two weeks w some leg pains from the IM so we'll see how this goes 😅

Now how does one stay in decent IM70.3 shape while reclaiming time for other things 🤔

Hoping to strike some balance with a lower but consistent weekly load and ramp up ~3mo out from the next race

Amazing framework for dealing with tough challenges. Especially one that can have uncontrollable external factors (BAD WEATHER).

& this is just the beginning. Higher

Race in < 2 weeks! Reflected & lol'd at this exchange. Pretty sure I googled what a tri was

Me: I signed up for my first half!!

@zain: Ur ready.

3 days of rest felt like an eternity!! Felt really good to swim/bike today.

Still holding off on running as my leg isn't 100% yet

I enjoy long walks to/from/on the beach…

Before watching 12 hours of college football 🐊 (how do I do the receipts thing)

Legs are still giving me some trouble so i'm starting my taper early to sort it out

Had a good run on the receipts leaderboard 🫡

Reminder to foam roll and stretch!! My left calf pain i'm sure is due to tightness all over my leg from high load. so bad i've been slightly limping the last week

Just had the most excruciating massage that's already helped a ton 😭

Crushed my 5k PB by a minute - 20:38!! Had a rough gameplan this time around & successfully ran a negative split

Leaving off the glory of sub 20 post ironman when my body doesn't feel like it's on the verge of falling apart 😅

racked up 1,280mi on my bike since getting it ~3mo ago. Insane

5k race on the 24th, Garmin has a lot of faith 😅

Context: 21:33 June 15th

Low volume week due to travel (I likely needed the rest). Excited to be back in nyc and get after it these last couple of weeks!!!

Praying the hip flexor tightness goes away with some rest, has been bothering me all week 🙏🏽

Disappointed and a little embarrassed it feels like my fitness peaked end of May and has been a slow grind back to that point

Doing a brick workout today (7 mile slow run / 90 min cycle) and it feels like its taking “too” much will power to get the 2nd leg of the workout going, versus effortlessly flowing into the 2nd workout and using willpower when I’m gassed

A little over a month to our first 70.3

We’re going higher these next 30 days. See y’all at the finish line

WE GO HIGHERRR (longest run). Locked in the weekly stats

33.6mi Run
144.5 mi Bike (PB by 1 mile lol)
6850yd Swim
