#Running question:
In preparation for my first #marathon , how much time should there be between my last long run and race day?

I know the last week's mileage should be way lower, but I wonder if there are best practices / advantages / differences between 7, 8, 9, 14? days in between...

Very happy with my long #run of this morning!!

The fuel strategy is working great: take carbs the 2 days prior to the run, start the race fasted and bring enough carb gels with me. Very happy how it turned out.

I also tested to start running at about the same time as the #marathon, which is a bit earlier than usual.

Once again, my longest distance to date (34km). My pace was good (6:00/km), but with more elevation than the race.

I am playing with fueling strategies with my long runs.
I will try this next time:
Take plenty of carbs the night before, but nothing before the run. I think full glycogen reserves and carbs on the go might be enough.

Today, I had half a smoothie. I am not sure I handle it well while running, even if there's an hour in between. Few first km seemed harder then when I'm fasted.

Last time I had a full smoothie with some protein powder in it, and that didn't go very well...

Boom!
Longest #run ever, including my DNF marathon back in 2012 (I had caught a throat infection a few days prior and couldn't finish, either due to the antibiotics and fatigue from the illness or from improper fueling).

I am getting more and more ready!!

#MArathon More unexpected finds! Looks like it will be a long day in the archive. But the information is crucial for gaining insight into what three of "my" tailors' widows inherited from their husbands and what subsequently became of them. That's surely the most exciting thing about research: SOURCES 🤓

#MArathon I found some info I thought I'd never find, so: yay! I'll need to go to the archive soon to (hopefully) learn more.

#MArathon Still completing my infodump lists... When I'm done with that, I think I'm going to send the whole thing to my supervisor, I'm actually looking forward to hearing her feedback. And then I'll probably take a break for a day or two. 🍹🍉

#Introduction Hello, new followers! I'm currently writing my MA thesis on women in the Viennese #dressmaking trade ca. 1810-1850, and I talk about the writing progress a bit, using the hashtag #MArathon.

I'm a creative person who's into drawing and painting and all kinds of paper and textile #crafts, mainly #sewing. I love history and the detective work of research; I'm also interested in historical sewing.

I love #books and am an avid reader, my preferred genres are historical fiction, mystery, sci-fi and fantasy, also a little horror (ghost stories). Currently reading Star Trek TNG novels.

I enjoy baking and eating cake, occasionally. Last but not least, I like #nature, wildflowers and herbs, bees, rainy days and autumn, being at home and having tea.

I live with a black #rabbit named Marigold. She's a rescue and needs medical treatment due to her former living conditions, but is a happy and very affectionate bun. I post about her, her healing progress, and her shenanigans. 🐇

#MArathon Today I got really kind feedback on my draft from a colleague (who is the best, btw). People liking and complimenting my writing is motivating me a great deal.
What also motivates me: Marigold being there. Her just sitting nearby, dozing, calms me down and helps me focus somehow. 10/10 for the four-legged research assistant. 🐰 💕

#midtown #marathon Thank you to everyone on the sidelines who cheered me on despite how slow I am. You are appreciated 💛 ❤️!

#MArathon Still typing cause I've got a bout of motivation and I want to make the most of it (and I can't sleep anyway). I'm currently creating lists, and more lists, so as to give the reader(s) an overview - which proves to be not that easy because there's a lot going on in my sample of people I've gathered information on. I'm not entirely sure yet how to group these findings together for them to make the most sense. Well, I can edit it if it doesn't work out, so let's go...

This guy I know is paying $150 to run a #marathon. Myself, I'd be willing to pay $150 to avoid running a marathon.

Klimaschutz ist ein Marathon 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏾‍♂️

Wer schon früh losgelaufen ist, hat weniger vor sich.

Wer jetzt noch wartet, muss schneller rennen, um noch rechtzeitig ins Ziel zu kommen.

Jeder Schritt nach vorne zählt!

Klimaschutz ist ein Marathon

SPD: ist zu anstrengend

Grüne: gehen zu kleine Schritte, um bloß niemanden zu überfordern

FDP: warten immer noch auf die eLaufschuhe

CDU: schlafen erstmal weitere 10 Jahre

Linke: laufen erst los, wenn alle gerechterweise gleich schnell laufen

#MArathon Today I typed some more, though it was mostly digression which will probably be thrown out of the final manuscript anyway... I don't consider the time spent on such things "lost", btw. Everything that helps me think is beneficial to my writing process and my thesis.
