EP. 35 - Things We Probably SHOULD Have Known Before Signing Up For A Marathon
About this episode
This episode is all about lessons learned from our first Marathon training experiences so that you can show up more prepared for your next race!
Running provides us with the opportunity to always be learning and pursuing development, both physically and mentally. In reflecting upon our first Marathon preps, we recount some lighthearted, funnier lessons learned, but really aim to emphasize the most important principles that have helped us evolve.
Topics of discussion include, but are not limited to…
- Why Marathon prep may take longer than you think
- The value of community in your running experience
- Strategies for building confidence over the course of a training cycle
- All that accompanies marathoning (outside of running)
We believe that this episode will provide you with a fresh perspective on running, and specifically the challenge of 26.2 miles, so that whether you’re training for your first Marathon, or hope to set a personal best in your next race, you have the mental and physical tools necessary to be successful and enjoy every step!
