Leg days must not be forgotten ☝🏻

Long day yesterday supporting my brother in law in the New York City Marathon (he crushed it), but starting the week off right.

[CGoodsLife @SoCGoodwin]

Not every run needs to be or should be a PB!

Had a great time at the River Run in Simsbury, CT and it was so nice to cross the finish line with my wife. Just a nice run together and was honestly even more enjoyable than some of the PB’s ran.

Would recommend!l

@UltraRunner26 Genuinely feel like you get an extra 20% running with friends.

[CGoodsLife @SoCGoodwin]

@DavidDack Four so far, got my fifth tomorrow with one more easy one before the end of the year! Next year is the big one though 👀

[CGoodsLife @SoCGoodwin]

There aren’t many things better than a really good strength session.

Going for a bit more volume over the next few months; two weeks in and feel much more full, but I’m really missing the bike 😅

Also doing a 10k fun run tomorrow in CT 🏃‍♂️

[CGoodsLife @SoCGoodwin]

@tomcoppens_ How did you find it overall? I guess you’ll really notice the benefits once you return to a normal altitude.

@UmirIrfan Using AI quite a bit for various projects. Trying not to sound patronising, but I feel there is certainly a link between its accuracy/usefulness and the intelligence of the individuals curating the prompts.

[CGoodsLife @SoCGoodwin]

@singhcredible I did use Runna and did think it worked well. But I also felt I could devise my own plan without the cost and it wouldn’t hound me for missing a session due to family commitments 😅. PB’d my half with my own plan 😌

[CGoodsLife @SoCGoodwin]

@amgalan_so Don’t forget the nose strip!

[CGoodsLife @SoCGoodwin]

@DavidDack Then got annoyed at myself for sounding so stupid in the grand scheme of things 😂

[CGoodsLife @SoCGoodwin]

Upper strength session complete ✅

Definitely prefer training first thing in the morning, I just feel lethargic in the evening when it comes to strength training.

[CGoodsLife @SoCGoodwin]

@highbeebabs Oh that’s absolutely brutal haha! Good job on getting it done though 🙌🏼

[CGoodsLife @SoCGoodwin]

@rajdzpam Used to train six days a week, now do four (2 x upper/lower) and definitely noticed improvements since.

[CGoodsLife @SoCGoodwin]

@rtcrunr Great work Steve. Most importantly, did you enjoy it?

[CGoodsLife @SoCGoodwin]

@nomdk1 Our ancestors didn’t use ovens, microwaves or proper beds either so we must only use fires and sleep outside on a rock from here on out. Am I doing this right?

[CGoodsLife @SoCGoodwin]

Early morning workouts feel like an accomplishment before the day truly starts .

Night workouts feel like therapy after the a long day.

Same effort, completely different mindset. But I can never decide which one I prefer and seem to go through phases. Which is best?

[CGoodsLife @SoCGoodwin]

Oops, full marathon in 2027!

[CGoodsLife @SoCGoodwin]

Really happy to PB in the Hartford half-marathon earlier this month with a time of 01:46:42 alongside my wife.

No half measures next year; i’ll be doing the full marathon in 2028! 🙌🏼

[CGoodsLife @SoCGoodwin]

@Fuelogapp @FleetFeetSports Thank you! Absolutely, was such an enjoyable day.
