Fits Do Race Reviews: The 2020 Atlanta Marathon

March 7, 2020 By Jessie Benson 51 Comments

On Sunday, March 1, 2020, I ran my 34th full marathon and checked Georgia off the list in my quest to run a marathon in every state, by completing the Publix Atlanta Marathon. (See a list of all the states I've completed so far HERE.) One of the reasons that I chose the Atlanta Marathon is because my husband and I were already considering going to Atlanta to watch the Olympic Marathon Continue Reading

One Week Until the Atlanta Marathon!

February 23, 2020 By Jessie Benson 43 Comments

Only one week until the Atlanta marathon (and cheering for the Olympic Trials the day before!) So excited! The weather looks pretty good too; it is going to be a fun weekend, all about running! Before I dive into my recap of training, I want to point you towards my review of the SQUID GO ice/compression device. I shared my experience in THIS POST. Check it out and let me know what you Continue Reading

Weekly Recap: 2 Weeks Until the Atlanta Marathon

February 16, 2020 By Jessie Benson 35 Comments

Two weeks until my 34th marathon, 23rd state, and first marathon of 2020! In terms of a goal for Atlanta, I think I'll aim for something around 4 hours. I won't be racing Atlanta (as I did Indianapolis, my last marathon.) I've done plenty of miles (hit 70 last week!) but the workouts and the focus has not been on a PR, but rather just to finish 26.2 with a smile. I know that Atlanta is a Continue Reading

Weekly Recap: 3 Weeks Until the Atlanta Marathon

February 9, 2020 By Jessie Benson 37 Comments

Well, I made it through my biggest week of training for the Atlanta Marathon, which will be here on March 1! Marathon training in February in Minneapolis definitely isn't easy. But having the biggest week behind me is a relief; even if I have to do a lot of runs during the taper on the treadmill, I think I'll make it! Here's how training went this past week! Monday: 9.5 miles on the Continue Reading

5 Weeks Until the Atlanta Marathon!

January 26, 2020 By Jessie Benson 37 Comments

5 weeks until March 1 (so...almost spring??) That means 5 weeks until the Atlanta marathon (and cheering for the Olympic trials the day before!) Here's how training went this past week: Monday: I had the day off from work, so I met up with my friends Christie and Julie for a run at 8 am. They only wanted to run six miles, so I ran to the Calhoun Beach Club to meet up with them, ran 6 Continue Reading
