Always been a heavy runner and a heavy drinker. Ran my first sober race this weekend and cannot believe how much better I felt!
I thought I’d hit the peak of what I was capable of with running, distance and speed wise. But if I’ve learned anything in the past month, it’s that the daily drinking was holding me back this whole time. Really excited to keep pushing the running envelope with a sober body and mind.
I was always proud of my “work hard play harder” mindset, but that led me to a place of doing intense training runs while hungover, skipping workouts for the bar, and not seeing finish lines so much as I saw the free beers just beyond the finish. Turns out your body becomes really happy when you’re not drinking the equivalent of a six pack every day. I would’ve never guessed 😂
