Race Week | How I Prepare

[@mara434]

That was actually impressive hitting that Whitney Huston note! God bless you and be with you @ Cocodona 250, you are an inspiration

[@sallymcraestrength]

I'm a little embarrassed that made it into the vid!! ahahahaha I def didn't think they would edit that in! so embarrassed ahahahahahah

[@kevinandlisa4807]

Sally you have a heart of pure gold. How beautiful it is that you are not just taking care of your needs, but you are so thoughtfully making sure your DH is well fed and rested too. ❤ You are truly an inspiration and I will be praying God will honor all of your hard work and that you will feel His presence every mile, knowing He will give you strength when u call upon Him! Will be following the race for sure!

[@fatgingerrunner]

NF? The more I learn about you the more I love. You’re amazing and knowing you’re a follower is even better. Keep crushing it!!!! Can’t wait to see your performance at Cocodona.

[@SusanSaid]

How am I supposed to get any work done at work next week while trying to watch as much of the live stream as possible?!?! 😂😂 I’ll be cheering you on so hard from Arkansas!

[@kalleleman]

Thank you for this series! Really great to see your training and your family life! 😊

[@in2minds907]

Thanks for all your amazing content Sally! Wishing you all the VERY best for your big race! Can’t wait to see you crush it! 😊👏🏻👍🏻

[@sallymcraestrength]

Thank you for following along! Means so much to us!

[@ElizabethHermans]

Good luck, Sally! Enjoy the journey! 🙂

[@sallymcraestrength]

thank you Elizabeth!

[@Roberto-Escobar]

To be able to run that amount of miles and still increase muscle mass is nuts! Good stuff!

[@megangodfrey626]

You’re inspiring. I am not an athelete. I am not fast. I don’t have really any interest in racing. And maybe I run 15 miles a week but I follow you because when I don’t feel like running, you get me to run just because you are so motivating. Have a fun race!

[@susaville]

Hi Sally, I'm so excited for you in your upcoming race! Going to be cheering for you from Belize!

[@sallymcraestrength]

[@heatherm4111]

Thank you for sharing your race training! It is so rare for an elite to dive into what they are doing and then to add on that you are a female makes it like finding a 💎! Will be watching between work. Go!Sally go!!! You are a real gem!

[@buckmanriver]

125 hours = 125 x 60 minutes = 7,500 minutes 251 miles So, the average number of minutes per mile is: 7,500 minutes ÷ 251 miles ≈ 29.88 minutes per mile Therefore, it took approximately 29.88 minutes to travel one mile on average.

[@clairhardywynn5620]

Crikey if all else fails a singing career awaits !! That was bloody amazing 🤩🩷

[@thereeder5rs]

Catching up on Sally's videos and Bam! Rocking the NF gear!! Awesome!!

[@debrunsfar153]

ProMeal Bars for the win Sally! You clued me into them. So last year for Cocodona I ate one bar before each of the big climbs. My pacer made sure I did, and it helped me crush those climbs. You've got this!

[@adamfederer1731]

Sally, As a hospice nurse of ten years and I am loving the fact that I utilize some of your life experience and motivational nuggets of gold to incorporate it into my conversations with my patients. Your story is such a gift, and I am so excited to continue following you for many years to come.

[@megmikerodriguez6011]

SO excited to follow you in this epic race...praying, Sally, family and team! WOOHOO! God bless, Megan ps. happy to see the pop tarts there in your fuel pile. My friends tease me about them, that they're horrible...but if it's something you can get/keep down, then OK to splurge with it once in a while, right?! :D

[@jesselocklin1224]

Loving that you're an NF fan! Also, thank you for information and inspiration. Learning from you so far has helped me be better runner! A healthier runner.

[@mikes7654]

Best of Luck Sally…… I’ve got you as 1st female finisher, and who knows …. Overall winner 🥇 🙂👍.

[@merlinrubyyoda]

Love your energy, very inspiring!!! Thank You,

[@beachnap]

Thank you for sharing so much information, Sally! May I ask what your height is? Good luck on this race, you're very inspiring to so many runners, but especially for us over-30 women :)

[@sallymcraestrength]

I'm 66 inches (5'6") And thank you for your kind words!

[@mikhail114]

I’ve really enjoyed your race process videos. Thanks so much for sharing them with us! Good luck at your race and stay safe. 😊

[@ShankaraDurga]

Hi guys I was following you on Instagram and ask a question!!!! Is this your daughter??? It immediately blocked me so I’m can’t follow your posts now?😢 your daughter was doing a school race I think. Can you unblock me🥲 please. Also how do I get your app ?

[@JohnDoe-el6nv]

Godspeed friend.

[@sallymcraestrength]

thank you!

[@catandrews340]

Good luck, enjoy the ride!!! 💛

[@michaelgohner6031]

The Very Best Wishes to You! Get the best out of this adventure. ... and much resilience to got through the pain caves. I will follow the Lives and look forward to your race film. Stay hard! An important hint for you: At the moment I watch the talk with Elle Spacek. And it seems you are interested in using her experience with mint tea. Peppermint tea looses its advantages if you overdo it. But this is not the case with African Mint or other mint species.

[@anamariaharvey725]

it’s been so fun and inspiring following along your training journey! can’t wait to see it all come together. god speed!!

[@Wickedweirdwednesday]

So excited for you!!! You are going to crush it!!
