Great insights! Long runs can be tough but keep your overall goal of completing the marathon in the back of your mind to help you through it! Best of luck

Thank you for this realistic and honest evaluation of your training process! I used to be a distance runner but have dropped off in recent years. I do have flat feet and require a lot of stabilization in my shoes, but am hoping to get back to running in the next few days.

Fantastic!

For the long runs I think breaking it up into chunks mentally helps getting through it, so for a 15 mile run you can just think of it as three 5 mile runs and it helps a bit lol. Or just toss on a long audiobook and let that distract from the distance 👍

Podcast work great to pass the time. These runs should be slow. Fueling and hydrating become very important after 10-12 miles. Eat lots of protein after the runs for a quick recovery. I know it can be expensive but a good air relax machine helps speed up recovery. Adding a mile or two every week won’t seem like you’re adding a lot. After a few weeks you’ll be at 16-17 miles and 13 will seem like a walk in the park.
