We are so excited to announce that both Laura and I have been selected to be Pro Compression Ambassadors for the 2015 season! 
We both got this email on Monday and we immediately texted each other with the exciting news! I also felt like I had a personal connection to everyone that received the email ( I wonder why….I spy Heather 
)
Pro Compression is an amazing company and Laura and I are so excited to be representing their incredible socks this year in our training and at our races! My legs love running in Pro Compression and I set 2 back to back marathon PR’s wearing my Pro Compression socks. I worked hard and trained hard for those races, but my legs and feet have never felt better running 26.2. My recovery was quicker as well. I know you will love them too!

Personal question for you. I’ve been thinking about this a lot and thought you’d be a good person to ask since your good at keeping balanced. When your in the heart of marathon training do you still fast on fast Sundays if it falls the day after a long run 16+?
Hey Sarah! That’s a great question! I have always fasted normally without making exceptions to runs or not. I can’t think of a time where I have had a problem with it, but it is definitely adapted to each individual. Have you found that you have had problems with it in the past? My advice would be to make sure you hydrate very well and eat enough (and nutritiously) after the long run and you should be fine.
Thanks so much for your insight. Honesty ,I can’t remember it ever being that much of a concern during training before so I’m sure I just did it like regular. However, the last time I had a solid fast session (24 hours) I felt like I could feel my musceles tightening from dehydration. The Monday after I did scheduled run and was sluggish but pushed through. Didn’t feel normal for at least four days. Who knows if it was related or not.
My husband is a medical student and suggested that that might be due to electrolyte imbalance. It’s important to replenish electrolytes, not just water, after a long run. Things like Gatorade, electrolyte pills, and fruits. I hope that helps!
I’ll try that next time! Thanks.
