I’m new here. Just signed up for my first marathon. Yay! New Orleans in November. So excited!! I’m becoming the stereotypical new runner, where it’s all I think about, can talk about it for hours, read about it, listen to podcasts, it’s all consuming and I’m loving every minute of it. So that’s how I ended up here. 😁

What is the very first food/drink (or series of foods/drinks) that you absolutely crave immediately post-race or post-long run? Like, you gotta have it! Let us know 👇🏻

What’s your training tip of the day?! Mine is to freeze 1/2 your water before a hot run so it slowly melts as you go! Don’t sleep on freezing your gels either!!

You can only wear one colour (or narrow range of colours) for your race kit for the rest of your life. What are you choosing? Tell us why in the comments.
