Hey friends! Based on feedback from a few members, I've went ahead and made a few changes to the First Marathon Buddy Course. The changes are: - Made the course a one time fee rather than have it as part of the monthly membership. I'm working on building out the membership option more so for now - the course will stand alone! It's a much cheaper option to 1:1 coaching but with the same guided support via videos. - Very soon The Buddy Course will come with it's own generic marathon plan meant for first marathoners. That way if you do not have your own plan to start with, you can use the plan provided in the course! I'm finalizing this in the month of July, so should be good to go by the end of the month but will keep ya'll posted. Lastly - If you're not familiar or having explored the course yet - It's designed as a 20-week guided course designed to support you through your first marathon training cycle. It follows the natural phases of training with short weekly videos that explain what to expect, what’s normal, and what actually matters. This is not coaching or a training plan. It’s steady guidance to help you trust the process, stop overthinking, and feel confident on the way to your first start line. As always open to any and all feedback. This course was a labor of love so I want to make sure it's valuable. Thank you!!

Hey friends! I've gotten a handful of questions about the course/membership the last few days so figured I'd make a thread here - feel free to comment any other questions you have about the course as an alternative to 1v1 coaching or message me directly! If you are here looking for the Buddy Course - you can find it under the "Classroom" tab. Once you click into the course, you will have the option to upgrade your membership, and then will get access to the full 20-week Buddy Course + access to the private Strava Group. There will be monthly webinars as the course community grows as well. The 20-week course is not designed to replace your training plan, but rather walk you through it. There is a single 5-10 minute video to watch each week leading up to your marathon that teaches you about how to read your plan, how to dial in fuel, what you should expect week over week and a handful of resources that you can save. I attached the course overview video to check out to give a little more clarity :) This is a great alternative if you don't have the means for 1v1 coaching but still want that "coaching" experience! Lmk how I can help!! -Taylor
