59 | How to Train for Your First Marathon w/ Jane Springston (@runningwithjane)

Are you thinking of running your first marathon?

I firmly believe that every able-bodied person can run a marathon. But I don't want you to "just finish" a marathon... I want you to enjoy it and do your best!

Marathon training isn't as intuitive as you might think.

There are so many factors that are going to affect how to best prepare for your first marathon. Who you are, your experience level, your ability, your age, your goals, and your timeline are just some of the things you need to take into account when planning out your training.

On this week's episode of The Knighton Runs Podcast, Running Coach and YouTube Creator Jane Springston shares her 10+ year journey from "just finish" beginner marathoner, to qualifying for the Boston Marathon, to coaching others to do the same.

In this episode, we give you the strategies you need to get started training the right way. We discuss the importance of longevity in the sport of running and how to improve from training cycle to training cycle.
