@MilePosts I have the Fenix 7s solar and love it!

I need to replace my Garmin watch, what should I get? (I prefer Garmin but am open to the idea of something else)

@runliftrunlift @Alan_Couzens I also ran 2:47 at Tokyo marathon (did we run together?). And my run today was almost as slow… and no, I’m not tired, I just love easy runs 💕. Also I ran 2:37 in December. And at least 85% of my running is probably 5min/kms.

Friendly reminder it’s ok to run much much slower than your goal pace Here is today’s run from a guy who ran 2:47 in the Tokyo Marathon That is 3:57/km for those scoring at home. Run. Slow.

Apparently I’ve been checking this app for 1/3 of my life.. #MyTwitterAnniversary . Who has been here longer than me?

@RBrennanMorrey @HoustonMarathon Huge congrats Ruth!!!!!!!

Todays #Houstonmarathon lesson for my soccer kids: Don’t dabble or doubt. Believe w/everything & go ALL IN to a process that brings you joy. When you fall short, you still walk away happy. A 2:44 & masters champ but no #OTQ. Still, it’s the process is what leaves me fulfilled.

@jordanblancoSF Can you, of all people, handle this typo?! 🤣

@bbculp @patlemieux Ded 🤣.

@patlemieux That's how I ended up with two kids.

My rule of thumb in life. Never delay anything that takes less than 60 seconds to complete. Still shocked the boost in productivity I see from this.

Tell us you're a runner without telling us you're a runner:

@JWLevitt I ran CIM then flew back to Australia the next day, so I feel this tweet in my bones! 2 kids make the 10am part a pipe dream, though.

Gotten out of bed after 10am the last two days… is it jet lag or it it post marathon? #aspecialcollab

@kellydomara It’s terrible! At least for sponsors/exhibitors (or should I say small tri business owners who are also parents who can’t just leave their kids and blow their yearly budgets in aug/sept/oct to attend the world champs events 🤣).

What if this isn't terrible. triathlonish.com/p/what-if-its-…

@bbculp @IRONMANtri

The men's @IRONMANtri world champs is moving Nice, France for 2023, while the women will compete in Kona. In 2024, men will compete in Kona and women in Nice. This is for both pro and age-group. Explain how you feel with a gif.

@legroff October? Just wait till it’s a ‘loooong December and there’s reason to believe…’

Give me all your lugubrious shit, give me the melancholies, fill me with bleakness, it’s dark outside and cold.

It must be October, my playlist is only songs that make me weep like a little baby.

@fast_women This happens frequently in triathlon with race officials around the course! And responsibility usually placed back on the athlete to *know the course* 🤯

@TheTonyaRussell Then yes, do it! Definitely not for a full.

@bethgmckenzie A half!

Okay folks, I’m contemplating doing a California Ironman, which is 2 days before my evening flight to Europe (I live on the East coast). Would you do it if you had to fly home the same day you compete?

@PamGoodley @MilePosts Hi Pam! I am… and yes I did- very excited 😊.

unpopular opinion: a female running a sub 3 marathon at the end of an Ironman is WAY more impressive (and seems harder) than a much faster stand alone marathon

@ChrisRancie @MilePosts Gotcha. But yes, I absolutely think Chelsea could do that if she trained for it.

@bethgmckenzie @MilePosts We're both talking about the world aths/ioc time of 2.28 not the american qualifying trials time, which she could run regularly in training if she chose? Good running btw 👍

@MalindiElmore @MilePosts Ummmm… You! Right?

@bethgmckenzie @MilePosts I was trying to think who else fits this category! What other sub 3 IM have also run a fast marathon?

@ChrisRancie @MilePosts Chelsea would easily make the Olympic standard. I’ve run several sub 3 marathons off the bike in Ironman (& never in Kona! Best 3:04 there) and i ran pretty close to the Olympic standard this year (2:38) at 42 years old. Not to bring it back to me 😂, but relevant comparison.

@MilePosts What marathon time do you think it compares to? In saying that it's just not a fair comparison the sports are so different, if she trained solely for a marathon I'd find it hard to believe she doesn't run the Olympic marathon qualifying standard
