A HUGE congrats to @Alison Jones for crushing the Boulderthon Marathon yesterday! You are now a MARATHONER!!!! We can't wait to hear all about it - your favorite moments, how you pushed through any challenging portions, and your finish line feeling! AND, @Annika Olson is set to tackle her first marathon this upcoming weekend at the Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon on Sunday! How are you feeling? Any last minute tips you need? We are so excited for you! To top it off, @Rene Flores smashed the Boulderthon Half Marathon this past weekend! We hope you had an awesome experience there! We are so proud and excited for all 3 of you!!

Hi friends! First of all I want to thank @Kristine Owen Wood and @Erin Phifer for holding down the community for the last few weeks - we're lucky to have you!! I have been dealing with a ton of crazy in my personal life and haven't been posting here as much as I'd love - BUT I'm happy to share that we're back and better than ever! We're going to be putting in a big push to continue to support you all and continue building the community. I've got a little Skool revamp coming very soon, but want to get your input first here before we announce it to new members! Would you rather have: 1) For Q&As: - Monthly "Ask a coach" calls - whether it's 2 of us or 50 of us, having a "ask a coach" session on the calendar once a month where we can all enter a no judgement Q&A zone on all things first marathon! It would also be great to connect with more of you face to face as well :) OR - A thread for "Ask a Marathoner" where you can drop your questions there, and we'll answer them for you separate from the main group discussion thread Are you interested in: 2) Marathon "Buddy" - pairing you with an experienced marathoner who is willing to be apart of the mentorship program who is your go-to for all things marathon support? Would love your feedback below! 👇

Let’s shout out some wins, big or small!! My win of the week is actually NOT running this week, I’ve been under the weather and am not currently training (yay running for fun!) so instead of forcing myself to get in some miles, I’ve prioritized my body and some much needed rest :). Lots of waking!! What’s yours? 👇

If you could only choose ONE type/consistency of running fuel to take DURING your runs for the rest of your life, which would you choose? (Add why in the comments!)

I officially just signed up for my first marathon!
