I have my fair share of experience with marathon training, but I am by no means an expert. I don’t have any certifications or qualifications, other than my own experience to pull from. Despite my lack of real credentials, I figured it was okay for me to share what I know about marathon workouts based on experience. Maybe some of it will be new to you, and hopefully helpful in some way! Common Continue Reading
Fitting Remarks: Tips for the Taper and Supporting My Favorite Runner
I survived my peak week of training for the Flying Pig Marathon. Now it's taper time! Basically, the idea is that I have done 16 hard weeks of training, and for the next three weeks, I will maintain that fitness, but let my legs recover and rebuild to feel strong on race day. Lots of people freak out a little bit in the taper, but I am trying to remember that now is the time to trust my Continue Reading
Weekly Recap: First Week of April
Wow, it's already Thursday, and I haven't done my weekly recap from last week. This week is the "peak" week for Flying Pig training, so there has been a LOT of running, so that's my excuse for getting behind! But about last week...my mileage wasn't quite as high. Here's what's happening in fitness: Monday: 9 miles with the CBRC- "track" workout: 2 mile warmup, 1 mile hard, break, 3 miles Continue Reading
Fits Do Race Reviews: Ron Daws 25k
This past Saturday, Dustin and I ran the Ron Daws 25k (for your reference, 25k =15.5 miles). We had 16 miles on our training schedule for Flying Pig so this race fit in very nicely. For a price of just $5, its hard to pass up! The race is small, with registration limited to just 200 runners. The race may be small, but most of the people who run it are pretty serious runners. Its very popular Continue Reading
Featured Fit: The North Loop Boutique Crawl
Saturday night, Dustin and I met up with a couple of friends for dinner at Bachelor Farmer in the North Loop (downtown Minneapolis). I realized as I was getting ready that my first post ever on the Right Fits was an outfit I was wearing to dinner at Bachelor Farmer (Here is that post...) That was 2.5 years ago, when I first started documenting my adventures in fitness, fashion, and fitness Continue Reading
Fitting Remarks: Minnesota Bloggers.
I recently joined up with a Minnesota blogger group. They have a Facebook page that is really informative and helpful for a "new" blogger like me. Though I haven't yet had a chance to attend, they also organize blogger meet-ups and volunteer events around the city. They even have a Minnesota bloggers' BLOG. How great is that? You can check it out HERE for a full list of all the Minnesota Continue Reading
Fresh New Fit: My Skincare Routine
Here at the Right Fits, I primarily write about Fashion, Fitness, and Fitness Fashion, but I think a good skin care regime is an important component of a healthy lifestyle. Therefore, sharing my skincare regime somewhat fits into The Right Fits...right? Well, either way, I thought I'd switch things up a bit and share a little about my personal skin care routine. I know I am by no means an expert. Continue Reading
