No, that's not the 58 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: last race? Are we kidding me? How do I forget 59 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: about my own one hundred mile race? Not the best 60 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: race of my life? And I have already distanced myself 61 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:39,839 Speaker 1: from that last race. 62 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 3: Only we've blocked out on it. Yeah, I blacked it out. Well. 63 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 2: I'm happy to have you here on the pod today 64 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 2: for hurdle moment because I don't have all the answers, 65 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 2: and you might not have all the answers, but together 66 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 2: we have some answers. So let's jump right into it. 67 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 2: First things first, the races that have been postponed. I mean, 68 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 2: from a major standpoint, we've got Boston, We've got London. 69 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 3: Of course, we had Tokyo. 70 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 2: As if what's going on right now in the world 71 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 2: doesn't feel overwhelming enough, it's really hard when you get 72 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 2: to a place where you're so excited about something and 73 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 2: then it just is it. 74 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely, and I think both of us can relate 75 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: to it as well. 76 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 3: For sure. 77 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 2: I mean for me with London, I honestly feel like 78 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 2: it's a little bit of a blessing in disguise. I 79 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 2: have been dealing with what seems to be a strength 80 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 2: discrepancy between my left and right sides, and that's presenting 81 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,280 Speaker 2: itself with some pain and my left hip, and I've 82 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 2: been pushing through and feeling pretty okay. But I know 83 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 2: that I am pretty grateful for a string of extra 84 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 2: months until October now where I can really really focus 85 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 2: on giving back to my body. 86 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 3: What were you training for, What did you have in 87 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 3: the bank. 88 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: I was training for the inaugural Speed Project solo division, 89 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 1: so that was going to what was usually a three 90 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 1: hundred and forty mile relay race. They were offering it 91 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: up as a solo division this year. So at first, 92 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: I was, of course really bummed about it because it 93 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,720 Speaker 1: was something big and new that I wanted to do 94 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,359 Speaker 1: and I wanted to be one of the first people 95 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: to do it, and you can't really replicate that or 96 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: find an alternate race for something like that. So you know, 97 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: I gave myself a day to be bummed about it. 98 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: But with everything that's going on, I think it was 99 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: pretty quick to realize that, you know, a blessing in disguise, 100 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: and you know, we all have bigger things to focus 101 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 1: on right now. 102 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 2: I could probably for the next twenty minutes talk to 103 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 2: you about how one even fathoms or runs a three 104 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 2: hundred and forty mile race by themselves. 105 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 3: I will refrain, but that's kind of crazy. 106 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't have that much time here, but yeah, 107 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 2: So basically moral of the story is we're both dealing 108 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 2: with the shift in plans, so now we need to 109 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 2: talk about how to go about handling that. First things first, 110 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 2: you're not alone, as we both mentioned, we both have 111 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 2: had to shift our personal plans, And I think what's 112 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 2: important is just acknowledging that it's okay to feel a 113 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 2: little bit bummed. I mean, for so many of us, 114 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 2: regardless of what race you're running, you have put in 115 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 2: a considerable amount of work. You've gone out on some 116 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 2: of those long runs, You've woken up early, you've stayed 117 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 2: up late, whatever the case may be. 118 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 3: You have put in the work. 119 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 2: And so it's okay to feel a little bit bummed 120 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 2: about the shift. 121 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, totally, I agree. You can be bummed about it. 122 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: But then, on the other hand, try not to dwell 123 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 1: on it. 124 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 2: Right, So that is step two is coming up with 125 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,840 Speaker 2: some sort of an action plan, if you will. I 126 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 2: think that is where a lot of the struggle seems 127 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 2: to be. Is exactly what do I do if I've 128 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 2: been training for or a half or a full and 129 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 2: I've been getting out there and doing all those long runs, 130 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,839 Speaker 2: and now I feel as though I have all of 131 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 2: this fitness and I just don't know what to do. 132 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 2: So do you abandon your plan altogether? Should I still 133 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 2: be doing things like long runs? Just give it to me. 134 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: I think that it is okay to abandon the plan altogether. 135 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: I kind of have a mixed bag of athletes right now. 136 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: Some are sticking to the plan and then simply running 137 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: the race. You know, air quotes race on their own 138 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: on the day that it was originally scheduled for, just 139 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: because they still want something to train for. So if 140 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: you're that type of person and you and you can't 141 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: really get out the door unless you have something that 142 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: you're training for, by all means you can can if 143 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: you have that kind of motivation. I think it's harder 144 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: to run solo than with a pack of people, But 145 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: if you can, if you can do it and stay 146 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: motivated and that's what's motivating you, then by all means, 147 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: go out and keep at it. But personally, I definitely 148 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: abandoned my training plan as part of the you know, 149 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: don't dwell on it. We can come back to it 150 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: and revisit it later, but for now I've put it 151 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: behind me, so totally okay to trash it, forget about it, 152 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 1: put it behind you, and use this time now as 153 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: a time to refocus, and as my fellow coach Finley 154 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: on Brooklyn Track Club says, use this as a time 155 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: to expose your weaknesses. 156 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 2: I think what's also really valuable right now is coming 157 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 2: back to the reasons why we run in the first place. 158 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 2: I mean, yes, of course, it's great to have a 159 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 2: goal and having some sort of plan. It gives you structure, 160 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 2: It kind of helps in all aspects of our lives. 161 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 2: I think we could both agree. But right now, when 162 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 2: you're getting out there by yourself and you're running, you're 163 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 2: getting back to kind of that emotional mind body connection. 164 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 2: For so many of us, running as a way that 165 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,439 Speaker 2: we also give back to ourselves, And for me, I 166 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 2: have gone on the route that Jess talked about of 167 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 2: abandoning my training plan of just going back out there 168 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 2: and running for the joy of running. I've been doing 169 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 2: a lot of those Nike Run Club Mindfulness runs with 170 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,679 Speaker 2: Andy Puttacolm and coach Bennett, and I find those like 171 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 2: really relaxing, really enjoyable, and just in the chaos and 172 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 2: the stress of what's happening in the day to day. 173 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 2: This run now, for me is my time just to 174 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 2: reclaim my calm and oh. 175 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 3: It feels really good. 176 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:32,679 Speaker 1: That is really good to hear. 177 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 2: Yeah. 178 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: I like to utilize the guided runs on the app 179 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: as well, And I just wanted to add that no 180 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: one should feel like an underachiever for shifting goals right now, because, 181 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 1: like you said, we as runners were so used to 182 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: having a time goal and a deadline and a structured 183 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: plan in place in order to hit that deadline, and 184 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: now we don't have to and that's okay, and we 185 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: should look at it like a gift, to be honest, 186 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: because if we don't look at it like a gift, 187 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 1: then it is going to be, you know, added stress 188 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 1: on top of the daily stresses that we're experiencing now. 189 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 2: Definitely, And I also think another great suggestion is to 190 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 2: make a new goal for yourself. Just because you don't 191 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 2: have the deadline of a race or a specific marathon 192 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 2: coming up, you can set other types of goals. It's 193 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 2: something that I did for myself earlier last year when 194 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 2: I trained to run the Brooklyn Mile. It was an 195 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 2: opportunity for me to flex different running muscles if you 196 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 2: will try something new. So maybe your new goal is 197 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 2: timing yourself for a three k or a five k 198 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 2: and then working down on that, trying to get faster 199 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 2: and faster month over month, or what other goals would 200 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 2: you suggest, Jess, Yeah. 201 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: That's that's definitely another tactic that I've been giving to 202 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: some of my athletes right now because I think that 203 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,439 Speaker 1: even if you are running solo, you can take yourself 204 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: out on a timed my or three k or five 205 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 1: k time trial like those are short enough kind of 206 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: digestible distances that you can go out and time yourself 207 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,680 Speaker 1: on a solo run, and then you can train for 208 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: X number of weeks, maybe it's four weeks. 209 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 3: You look up a four week. 210 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: Plan to run your fastest five k, and you keep 211 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 1: track of your progress, and then time yourself again after 212 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:26,199 Speaker 1: those four weeks. So I think using this time now 213 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: to focus on some shorter, faster distances that we maybe 214 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,079 Speaker 1: don't normally take the time to focus on as we're 215 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: training for half marathons and marathons and beyond, I think 216 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 1: it's a really good time to do that. 217 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 2: Also, I think it's really important to reiterate that we 218 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 2: need to manage our expectations. I know that I personally 219 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 2: am certainly not moving around as much as I usually am. 220 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 2: I'm not running around this city in my day to day, 221 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 2: which means that my fitness is shifting a little bit, 222 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 2: and it's certainly an adjustment. But with that I definitely 223 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 2: have to have some grace, which is another reason why 224 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 2: I'm thankful right now that with the running that I 225 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 2: am doing, I'm just kind of being kind to myself 226 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 2: and not really expecting to too much. 227 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, you definitely have to be easy on yourself in 228 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: times like this, So don't be too hard on yourself. 229 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 1: Be easy on yourself, and really lean on the community. 230 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 1: Right now, I think everyone is doing such a fantastic 231 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 1: job of checking in on one another. And if you 232 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: were part of a crew or a team or a 233 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: track club, there's so many you know, runners out there 234 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: that are in the same shoes right now that now's 235 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 1: the time to really lean on the lean on the community, 236 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 1: and check in on one another. 237 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:46,079 Speaker 3: Yeah. 238 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 2: I was out there this morning at the reservoir in 239 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 2: Central Park, and I was doing four hundred meter repeats 240 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 2: with sixty seconds recovery between each and because of the 241 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 2: nature of that and how you slow down after each interval, 242 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 2: I was continuously running up on a guy, getting ahead 243 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 2: of the guy, and then I'd slow down and he'd. 244 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:05,319 Speaker 3: Run against me. 245 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 2: He'd run past me then and after like the third 246 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 2: or fourth time of us doing that, he looked at 247 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 2: me and he like gave me a thumbs up. 248 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 3: He's like, you're kicking ass today. And I love that. 249 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 1: I had a similar experience in Brooklyn. It's nice to 250 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: see the streets abandoned in Brooklyn and being able to 251 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 1: run in the streets which we wouldn't normally advocate, and 252 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 1: you know, crossing paths with a runner and us kind 253 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: of dodging each other and going on the other side 254 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 1: of the street and giving each other that that head 255 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: nod like yeah, I thank you, appreciate you. 256 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 2: Good work, keep moving, don't come near me exactly, all right. Well, 257 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 2: one thing that we do need to talk about is, 258 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 2: of course you cannot forget to handle and take care 259 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 2: of the logistics that go with postponing a marathon. So 260 00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 2: for me, for instance, I mean, I'm still technically about 261 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 2: a month out from when London was originally scheduled for 262 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 2: I have yet to move my London flights, which is 263 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 2: something important that needs to be done. 264 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely important. I went ahead and immediately looked into 265 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 1: getting refunds for all of those things. And it is 266 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: nice that right now, the airlines and hotels and even 267 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: down to the RV that I had rented for my race, 268 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 1: everyone is being super kind and generous about refunds and 269 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: credits back in your account right now, So definitely take 270 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 1: care of all of those things and not just assume 271 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: that you lost that money. And I think the last 272 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: thing to really make sure you button up and take 273 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 1: care of is reading over the details of your race cancelation, 274 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: your race cancelation, or if your race has been postponed. 275 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: So read through those things carefully. Some of them are 276 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 1: offering full refunds, while others are simply postponing to a 277 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 1: later date, and maybe you have the option to defer 278 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 1: your entry until next year, So just make sure you're 279 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: reading through all those options and details carefully. 280 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 2: And also, I think as much as we said that 281 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 2: it's okay to be bummed about the cancelation or the 282 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 2: postponed situation, it's also really important to celebrate how far 283 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 2: you've come. Whether this is your first race or your 284 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 2: one hundredth race, every training cycle is something to be celebrated, 285 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 2: and it's so important to remember that the journey is 286 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 2: such a big part of what culminates in that race day, 287 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 2: So appreciate the effort that you've put out there and 288 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 2: understand that there are going to be more races. There 289 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 2: is more to be done, and right now just soak 290 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 2: in what might be this little reprieve before we're all 291 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 2: really back into the swing of things. 292 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 1: Absolutely couldn't agree more. 293 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 3: All right, Jess, Well, thank you for your time.
