In this week of running, I’m taking you along with me as I train for my 5th marathon—real life, real miles, and all the little adjustments that come with it. I’m sharing what my training looks like across the week, how I think about consistency when the weather is not cooperating, and what I focus on to keep my marathon build feeling sustainable (not chaotic). This one is very “marathon training + lifestyle,” because that’s genuinely how I do it: runs first, then everything else. The big plot twist this week is running through the Texas winter storm. I talk through how I approach cold-weather days, what I prioritize for safety, and how I decide when to head out versus when to pivot. If you’re building toward a marathon and you’re dealing with winter conditions, this is your reminder that training isn’t about perfection—it’s about showing up, being smart, and stacking weeks. I also link my running essentials, plus where I log everything on Strava, if you want to see what I’m using and how I track my training.
