From Beginner to Marathon Finisher: Unveiling the Journey to a Major MilestoneSport Running Major milestone: I ran my first full marathon!
What is the secret to your success?
Remaining dedicated to my training and accepting that not all my runs are going to feel great, sometimes it will feel like like you are dragging your feet through concrete. Just don't give up!
What is the biggest obstacle to reaching your goals and how do you get over it?
My busy schedule with two teenagers and a full time job. My run coach [Rosie] helped me adjust my training schedule as needed so that I could still be a great mom and employee while remaining on track to reach my goal.
What is the most rewarding part of training?
Reaching distances that I never thought I could!
What advice would you give to other members of the Runcoach community?
Use your coach to adjust your plan as needed...give yourself grace and rest when needed also.
Anything else you would like to share?
My coach has been very encouraging. I'm so appreciative of her advice and support.
What feedback would you offer on the Runcoach experience?
It's been great to have live coaching so much better than other training programs. I've tried programs that are so rigid without flexibility in the training schedule.
