Testing the HARDEST part of the course I 2 WEEKS OUT I Road to Aruba Marathon 🇦🇼

2 weeks out from the aruba half marathon & things are getting intense! 🌴🏃🏽‍♀️ in this episode, i’m taking you through the crucial final 14 days of preparation before the big race weekend. we kick things off with an amazing group run alongside the social run club aruba crew at eagle beach, followed by a brutal 14.5k long run up to the california lighthouse - honestly the windiest & toughest part of the entire course for me! 💨 but it wouldn't be a true "zero to ironman" journey without some unexpected challenges. i had to face serious calf issues after testing some faster, unstable shoes, forcing me into three consecutive rest days. thankfully, the caribbean treated us well during our recovery: we went snorkeling in the crystal blue water & saw FIVE sea turtles on global running day! 🐢✨ after switching back to my stronger compression socks & the nike vomeros (bye-bye, vaporfly for now!), i hit the road for a final test run with some intense strides. the calf is still making itself known... are we ready for race day? can the calf hold up for the half marathon distance? find out in next week’s final race day vlog! 🏁 👀 let me know in the comments: what’s your go-to race-day sock or shoe combination? thank you so much for all your support, likes & comments - it takes a massive amount of energy to film & cut these documentaries while training & your resonance means a lot to me!! :) 🩵 #ArubaMarathon #RoadToIronman #TriathlonPrep #RunningCommunity #InjuryRecovery #OneHappyIsland #aruba #klmmarathon #halfmarathon #running #ironman #eaglebeach #caribbean #fitness #sports
