@hannahtrenches: We are literally running in a different body week to week!!!!🚨 I have found my “easy pace” to be wayyy slower during the evil luteal phase! And luckily the marathon qualifying times do recognise our differences and make it fairer by adjusting the qualifying time😃😃😃 But as it is also adjusted in a way to get more women on the start line, people automatically think that it is an “easier” route… …which I think really detracts from a woman’s hard work, because NOTHING about it is easy!!⭐️ Regardless, the purpose of this post is to act as a little reminder to look at the bigger picture and to give yourself grace next time a run feels super hard when you are at a low point in your cycle 💖 I actually write in the notes section of my run on the @Runna app when it is a luteal phase training run…just so I know it was a tough run contextually whenever I look back at my times!! (TRENCHES for two weeks free if you ever want to give it a go 💖💖) a
