  • Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon

    The weeks leading up to this race were filled with excitement, anticipation, and nervousness!  On April 4th I ran the Irving Marathon with my friend Liz.  We were both happy with our racing on that day and for some reason I had it set in my mind that at OKC I was going to PR. […]

Comeback Race

May 10, 2020 Idalie Beyer Leave a comment Marathon Training

I did it, I signed up for the Dallas marathon in December. I’m running the 5K on 12/12 and the full on 12/13. I’m excited and nervous at the same time. I haven’t run long distance in a while. After my divorce in April 2019, I sold my house and rented a teeny tiny house, […]

Upcoming races and training

July 5, 2016 Idalie Beyer Leave a comment Marathon Training

Last week was the end of Camp Gladiator’s 4 week Total Transformation.  My results weren’t exactly what I wanted but I learned about my nutritional needs to increase my performance and have been keeping up with my meals and goals.  TT started on May 23rd and ended on June 17th.  Now that this challenge is […]

Ultra Centric 2015 24 hours

June 8, 2016June 25, 2016 Idalie Beyer Leave a comment Marathon recap

At 9am on November 21st I set off for my longest, run/walk, 24 hours. Erik came out with me and set up a tent to keep me company. I was so grateful for that, he doesn’t even know. I started out strong and steady. I knew the pace to keep was going to be about […]

Tyler Rose Marathon 2015

October 18, 2015 Idalie Beyer Leave a comment Marathon recap

Last week I ran the Tyler Rose Marathon and by far it was the toughest course I’d encountered since Cow Town in 2013.  It was very hilly and although, I thought I was mentally prepared for how hilly it was going to be, it was tough. The day before the race, Oct 10, 2015 we […]

Ultra Marathon 24 hours training…

October 17, 2015 Idalie Beyer Leave a comment Marathon Training

There are 8 weeks left before my 24 hour endurance run.  On Saturday Liz and I ran/walked 26 miles.  Quite frankly I felt pretty good until about mile 18 and the blisters on my feet and the cramps in my calves became very uncomfortable.  It was like nothing I’ve felt before.  I’ve read on some […]

Virtual Cowtown Ultra aka Solo 50K

March 7, 2015March 8, 2015 Idalie Beyer Leave a comment Happy Miles

In light of Cowtown’s races being canceled last week, I promised myself to run my own 50K in hopes that Cowtown would honor it.   The 5K and 10K  had also been canceled on race weekend and the runners for those races were offered a virtual event to compensate them.  To my delight, I received an […]

2015 goals and other random thoughts

January 25, 2015 Idalie Beyer Leave a comment Thoughts...

At the ringing in of the New Year, 2015 I made a silent goal of running 2015 miles.  I then realized that it was a little much and I was kidding myself.  So the goal once again became an ambiguous wishy washy one.  Years before I tried to run 1000 and I have always fallen […]

Ultra psycholgist

January 23, 2015 Idalie Beyer Leave a comment Marathon recap

The word ultra gives a significance to a marathon that almost makes the marathon distance of 26.2 miles seem…”easy.” In November I ran my first ultra. It was a 12 hour endurance race and it was maybe the hardest thing I have ever done aside from giving birth to my two boys. It was drizzling […]

The Irving Marathon, Marathon #3 recap.

April 6, 2014September 23, 2015 Idalie Beyer Leave a comment Marathon recap

The day before the race I was getting things ready and realized I needed more gels.  So last minute stop at Sports Authority and I saw a shirt, I had to have for the big day!  For those of you that know me, I always end up getting something new for race day, last minute […]
