Part 5/6:
A balanced diet is imperative during this period. I plan on consuming a hearty mix of carbohydrates, proteins, and healthy fats while allowing myself the occasional indulgence in sweets and treats to maintain enthusiasm and energy. A well-balanced diet will ensure recovery and preparation for upcoming runs.

I recently unboxed new running shoes, excited to test out an updated version of my long-time favorites. I also acquired a pair of Niks Fly 6, aiming to avoid issues experienced in the past with improper gear.
