On the 20th October, I ran my first ever marathon! It has always been a goal of mine and it was a huge fitness challenge that I am so pleased to have accomplished. I followed a 20 week training plan (mainly to give myself extra time to get used to this new distance and also give me some wiggle room for injuries or the like) and I can not understate how challenging this really all was. I am so glad I did it, and so proud of myself for sticking with the plan even during the terrible runs that genuinely left me in tears, and for really prioritising a goal that I have had for so long.
I may do a whole post about how the race fully went, what I learnt both in regards to how to train and about myself, but for now I am just riding that post-marathon high of having achieved such a huge personal goal. If there is anything that you are thinking of doing, or you have a big goal that you always mean to work on, my advice would be to just do it. My only regret is that I didn’t do this sooner!
