These are awesome tips, thank you for sharing. I commend anyone who has the dedication to train for a marathon! It must feel so amazing finishing your first one. I’m so directionally challenged, I would absolutely be the girl who went the wrong way. Lol!

Great tips. Very helpful. When I was running my first marathon I hired professional to train me. Now I kinda know what to do but tips are always welcome.

I always try to have an AB and C goal. That is definitely a good way to go so that you can readjust your goals as you train. Heart rate training is also a great way to train.

So many great tips here! Also, I can believe you had a DNF at first. haha That would’ve driven me crazy. Glad it worked out!

These are all such great tips! I know for my first marathon I set a goal to just finish as I did not know what to expect. I think that is an important tip to not set a time goal!

We all make crazy mistakes on our first marathons. Heck, I make mistakes on all of them. I’ve yet to have a marathon be “perfect.” One of these days…

These are great tips. I know my MRTT group is great for finding a buddy for long training runs. The miles go by so much faster!
