Hey everyone!! I've got a Wednesday mini episode coming out this week where I'm walking through my full survival guide for running your first marathon. It's essentially five things I wish someone had told me before my own first one, pulled from a hundred plus guest interviews and my own five marathons!! I know a lot of you are deep in fall training right now, so I wanted to give you early access before Wednesday. Attached is the guide with all five tips laid out. We're talking: fueling strategy, why your easy pace matters more than you think, and why the worst runs in your training block might actually be doing you a favor. Give it a read, and I'd love to hear which one hits home for you right now!!

Happy Wednesday, everyone! I am super excited to share that @Sophie Adamson is our athlete spotlight this month! Sophie recently ran her first marathon at the Garmin Marathon in Durham, NC - CONGRATS!!! 🥳 I don't know that I have ever related more to something Sophie said in her interview: "Running gives me both connection with friends and solitude, depending on what I need that day." And, Sophie is already paying it forward with her own advice for first-time marathoners 🙂 Thank you, Sophie for being part of the community, and we can't wait to cheer you on for your second marathon in November!

How often are you fuelling during your longer runs? Curious to know what frequency currently feels best for everyone! (And it definitely varies!)
