8 MISTAKES NEW RUNNERS MAKE : Chasing Leadville 100 - 3 Weeks Out

[@JustMissAmanda]

Thank you for watching another episode of Chasing Leadville 100 - as this video posts, we are 19 days out from toeing the line…. WOW. The weeks have blown by. If you’re new to the series, make sure you go back and watch the previous videos!

I am 47 years old and am just now stepping beyond 5K/10K races. My goal is to get a 50 miler by the time I’m 50. Possibly even a 100. After watching this video, I can see where I am not being very efficient. Especially Point #5. That one hit me hard. I tend to fall into that category. I appreciate you pointing that out and will continue with a different perspective. Thank you for your service and I’m sure you will crush Leadville.

I fell in love with running this year! I've been a weight lifter for 8 years (started lifting after I had my fourth child when I was 29) I did a lot of 5k races with my family. But this year was the first time I realized I didn't have to hurt myself to run fast, I could "run slow" and still lift! I found your channel a month ago, and I was inspired to sign up for a half marathon (a 5k race we do as a family every year, but they have a 10k half and full too) my kids have been training with me, on their bikes, and my husband is doing the half with me. Thanks for the inspiration that a lifter can run too. Also, I was inspired by the video where you ran with a bunch of ladies and said some were moms who even had to pump during their run. Such a good message, Moms can lift and run too! Thank you for making good wholesome content! -Amy Swift

[@JustMissAmanda]

Oh my goodness, running with kiddos is life goals right there!! Way to get after it + inspire your young ones to do the same! I 1000% agree - we are all capable, regardless of the obstacles in our way! ❤

[@sam.layland]

Im a 41 yr old Mom of 3, Always been a "slow runner", and I am currently training for a 5K, But your videos are inspiring & encouraging!🏃🏼‍♀️👟💕 I love your focus on everyone "running their own race and their own pace". Thank you!!! Can't wait to see how LEADVILLE goes!!!⛰🥾

[@JustMissAmanda]

YES!! Your pace, your race, your journey! Keep crushing it Sam!!

[@BillandKelleyAdventures]

I guess I found your channel because I watch a video with Nate running the Leadville 100. Your very inspiring. I (Kelley) about to be 54 and I signed up to run a 5K in a few weeks in Mexico. Not much time to prepare lol but I do a lot of high intensity workouts. I also just got my Freestyle Spin certification to teach at my Gym. I ran cross county in High School but my parents didn't like me doing sports so I had to stop. I do love to run and find it easier than most to do. I did run a 10k cross country with a friend 9 years ago. We had to carry a 20lb sand back between us. I usually hike by myself cause no one wants to hike with me cause I usually do 10-18 miles at a time. Glad I found your channel and hopefully get more inspired.

Love your content! I actually just started running a little bit as part of my weight loss regime. I realized that the greatest benefit is the feeling...I feel a bit euphoric when I get into a good rhythm. I am also in a very happy mood and have a ton of mental clarity. That feeling is what I look forward to everyday. These videos are so inspiring and I am learning some great tips from you as I being introduced to this sport

[@mariahdupuy3981]

Loved ALL of these tips Amanda! Thank you for continuing to remind your viewers how important each individual journey is and not to compare yourself to others, always a difficult one for me.

[@JustMissAmanda]

Thank you for such great feedback 🤍 I’m so grateful to be able to have a positive impact here 🫶🏽

[@suemoore1965]

I ALWAYS LEARN NEW THINGS FROM YOU 🥳 THANK YOU 💞

[@JustMissAmanda]

I'm so glad! Thank YOU for supporting 🤍

[@sammy_lu552]

I can't wait for the race video 🥳Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge. As someone who started running again after a year's long break, it helps me a lot. It is OK to be slow. Stop comparing. Thank you ❣

[@JustMissAmanda]

Thank you so much for being here!!! + the race video will be such a blast to watch back!! 1000% - your race, your pace, your journey 🤍

[@ashleymiller8571]

Well said, sis. Love your nod to Furtick as well. 😚 I look forward to your video each week. I enjoy your message.

[@JustMissAmanda]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@barrick4807]

Steven Furtick id say be leary but he does have some good sayings

[@ariromo]

Great insights!! Can you do a video on running sport bras/shorts you recommend? Would love some recommendations. A lot of brands on social I see are more gym oriented as opposed to running trails.

[@daniBanderob]

Thank you so much for all this great info! I’m just getting back into running and got so tired to hearing that weight training would only slow me down. It will stop me from getting injured! And it feels good to be strong 😁

[@andrewbilton5993]

Liked this a lot. Very genuine and very helpful.

[@JustMissAmanda]

So glad you liked it!!! Thank you for such positive feedback! 🤍

[@chelsig5593]

Whooooaaa small world. Just clicked this video that was suggested to me and I see my old high school football field and the temple where I got married in the first few seconds haha😂 hello from right down the street!

[@JustMissAmanda]

No way! Hey neighbor!!! Welcome aboard, so stoked to have you 🤍

[@andrewgeorge2853]

Love the video! I tend to love the process of training more than the actual race itself. Can’t wait to see you crush it in Leadville!

[@hollyg2823]

Such important tips! Thanks for the reminders!!

[@JustMissAmanda]

You are so welcome! Thank you for the support 🤍

[@a-mwinkler2461]

You are so inspiring! Thank you for passing on your knowledge and sharing with us.

[@tarync8248]

Love your videos! Just binge-watched your Leadville series and I’m excited to see the end. 🎉 PS: Could you please check the audio? I often have to adjust the volume when the background music plays. 🎧 Thanks! 🙏

[@Robin_Sport]

Great video, thank you! You're an incredible inspiration and motivation

[@Mandajo7]

Love your content!

[@JustMissAmanda]

Glad to hear it!

[@TheHurricaneOBrien]

Love that hoodie! 🔥

[@JustMissAmanda]

Ahh thank you!! Unbreakable MERCH is the best!!!

[@dustyhayes9569]

I know for me personally I don’t hit a slump when running until mile 12 so that’s when my body seems to need fuel

[@sigfreed11]

Do you follow the mind pump podcast? I’d love if you were a guest on their podcast 💪🏻

[@kenklee4]

How do you spread out your speed sessions each week? Tues/Friday?

[@josipbrstilo3338]

Do you take any kind of fuel before a run? Something like a G1M Sport

[@JustMissAmanda]

I ALWAYS fuel pre-run. I generally do 80g of carbs from a Go Bar, and rice cakes w/ honey!

[@kimt3817]

Do you do any Ultra coaching? I know you mentioned half and full marathons. Great video!!!

[@JustMissAmanda]

@@kimt3817 I do!!! I have quite a few 50k-100M humans on the team 🤍

[@nichole1.24.25]

What brand of shorts do you wear?

[@ziaakbar2535]

You are truly gorgeous ❤😊

[@JustMissAmanda]

Thank you!!

[@jillabbott2557]

Thank you for recommending walking as opposed to slow jogging between speed intervals. So many runners feel like if you’re not running, you’re not training, but I definitely subscribe to the rest hard to train hard mentality. 🩵

[@sassyfitnessmom6708]

I have been using the Runna app for my first half marathon training. It has 2 speed sessions twice a week every week (4 runs total). I am thinking on manually trading one out for an easy run as I am dead every week. After watching this I am now thinking one may be enough. Also I love your videos and you inspire me to push myself at my own rate.
