Question of the day!!
If you’ve already ran your first marathon, what’s a piece of advice you’d offer someone training for theirs? If you haven’t ran your first marathon, what’s the best piece of advice you’ve received so far? 👇👇👇

@Kristine Owen Wood I LOVE the phrasing of keeping expectations curious! Such a good way to describe a first marathon approach!

Be prepared to let go of the uncontrollables! I was such an anxious mess in the few weeks before my first marathon worrying about weather, illness going around, travel issues - all the things that I couldn’t really do anything about! Focusing on being present and having gratitude for what my body is capable of has really helped me stay calm and keep perspective!

Totally depends on the type of run! For workouts and races, pretty frequently to make sure I’m on target. For easy runs or warmups/cooldowns, not at all. I also always have autolap turned off so I never get mile time notifications and this has been fantastic!
Happy Monday! Some welcomes + updates :)
Howdy MFM crew! 🤠 Happy Monday :) First off - a MASSIVE welcome to our newest members! We're so stoked you're here, tell us a little bit about yourself in comments! @Shelby Herban @Melissa Beilfuss @Amy Artyomenko @Ashley Blankenship @Kaitlin Ketcham @Ryan Czar @Bobby SIsock Second - couple updates based on ya'lls feedback! - Added the "Ask a Marathoner Tab" and moved some of the questions we've gotten so far in there. I'll be adding a FAQ post both from questions I get on the show and ones we've gotten here from the community. The goal is to make it a judgement free zone to ask the group of experienced runners we have here, so ask away! - Added a separate "weekly posts" section to keep the gen discussion page a little less crowded, and give @Kristine Owen Wood a place for her polls so you never miss one :) Thanks for being here! Go crush whatever goals you have this week!
