October 23-29 I'm going to test my limits and run 7 marathons in 7 days to raise money for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. I've never done anywhere close to that much running so I'm not quite sure how it will play out yet. Other than the satisfaction of raising money for heart and stroke research I'm hoping to get a few other things out of running almost 200 miles in a week. I think it'll make me mentally stronger for my training and racing in the future. Finishing my third marathon on day 3 i'll have 75 miles in my legs and I won't even be half done yet. Putting that away in the memory bank to be pulled out on a later date when I'm struggling through a race, long ride, or whatever the situation may be will be very beneficial to me. Knowing that when I was struggling at the end of day 3 and I still had the strength to run 4 more marathons I'm sure will be very uplifting and will help me get through a lot of tough situations in the future. Raising money for a great cause, becoming mentally more fit and hopefully making some new friends along the way will be worth it when it's all over.
I'm going to do a video series that week on how I feel day to day. What I do for recovery, nutrition and things like that. If you wanted to know something specific on how or what I'm going to do for that week just let me know and i'll try to make a video on it.
There will be a contest on our
Facebook Group for a chance to win an Armpocket. Just post in the group saying what you think my total time for the 7 marathons will be. Whoever is closest will win a free Armpocket!
