Hi #runstr #running

I finally ran my race I have been training for over the past few weeks! I finished 10K in 47:01 min (4:42/km avg.) placing 2nd in my age group. I wanted to finish under 47 minutes. However, I ended up overtrained in the final stretch. Despite all that, I think I did my best.

Time to rest 💆🏻‍♀️

Hi guys,

Tomorrow is the race day that I have been training for weeks.

Toward the end, I gave up and started showing overtraining symptoms.

I entered taper week with lack of training. But there is nothing to do anymore.

Wish me luck! 🍀 #runstr #running

2 days to go Çeşme 🏃🏻‍♀️ 🌊🏖️

Hi guys,

I had overtraining symptoms for the past three days — I felt “🤢” during workouts and ended up skipping two sessions. After two days of rest, I managed to run 8.5 km at a 6:08 pace. I’m feeling better now, but I still don’t feel like doing an interval session yet.

I’ve been following the program perfectly, so I think my coach may have pushed the load a bit too much. (He also coaches the national triathlon team… lol.)

🥵 thank you! Normally, I eat anything at any time, but during this loading session, I couldn’t find to time for unhealthy food 😁

Just because I don’t have any training tomorrow, I didn’t know what to do with all the excitement—so I ended up eating three slices of buttered bread, a date with peanut butter, and some chocolate right before bed lol

I thing running and biking are like siblings sports 😁

Yesss You should sign up for İstanbul Marathon 😌 Its amazing! We run from Asia to Europe (or otherway around- not sure lol) and literally you become an intercontinental athlete 😍

Today I finished my six-day non-stop training streak. I’m exhausted, and honestly, I’m getting sick of running. Tomorrow is finally my rest day. This weekend I have my last hard trainings — then taper week begins. I’m counting the days until May 11. After that, I’m free — at least for a month. Just running for fun.

But of course, it never really ends. After that, I want to run 35K on a trail in the world’s second-largest canyon . There’s no finish line to this kind of life.

I couldn’t sleep last night because of the pain. I woke up in the middle of the night and had to take a painkiller.

Anyway, they say if you don’t push yourself in training, you’ll struggle during the race. #runstr #running

Hi everybody,

Today I completed a 10x1000m interval session. I ran each rep at a pace between 4:30 and 4:38 per kilometer.

Warm-up, recovery jogs, active parts, and cool-down — all included, it was 17 kilometers in total.

It was an incredibly tough workout — I pushed myself so hard that I felt like throwing up, even though my stomach was empty.

And the picture is kind of a summary of my life: the track field, books and Jung.

Today I woke up 6:00 am and ran 8 km at zone-3 (5:30/km) before going to school. It took approximately 45 minutes in total.

I finished my training before work and now I am feeling completely free 🤣 I can do whatever after school. I don’t even have to worry about wind or rain!
