Afternoon Run

Morning Trail Run

Troy turkey trot with Sade

Went for my first FKT attempt today and it was a success. I’ve been training for a longer FKT attempt here in MS but bailed on that plan because of some lower back pain. I’m glad for that choice. 

Lots of Type 2 fun on this trail. It’s pretty runnable for the first 4-6 miles and then got really muddy, quite frequently, for the last half of the trail. I’d planned on a faster pace but the conditions on the trail changed that plan. 

And that’s what makes FKTs fascinating, I think. Your plan is only as good as the conditions of the trail, how well you navigate, nourish, and find those mental spaces to push harder than you want to. 

Nutrition went well: had about 750ml of Tailwind and a Spring gel 5 miles in. This was the least amount of water I was comfy with. Also should’ve refridged it. 

Fun day running through the pines in Mississippi. Fun going for my first FKT in my home state. Grateful for Sadie wiping my mud crust legs off with baby wipes.

And cheers to an Athletic at the end. If you wanna try some tasty N/A beer I’ll do that thing where I plug a discount code for like 20% off. It’s delish.
