Congrats on completing your first week of marathon training! By now you've probably finished your second week so congratulations on that on, as well. Hope all is going good and you're feeling strong. This is a huge commitment and it's very motivating getting to hear about it.
That area you live in is beautiful, by the way. I hope it's not too cold out, there. Where I live it's currently below freezing (and icy/snowy), so it'll be the treadmill for me for the next few months. The amount of actual ice (not so much the snow) makes it pretty dangerous. At least for me, as I've taken a few spills in the past.
Good luck with everything going forward, and I'm looking forward to further updates!
It is a big commitment and sometimes I worry that I won't be able to do all the training sessions. This could end up being one of the hardest things I do, but I want to try my best.
It looks okay where I live but in terms of running it's not a very nice area. Temperatures are getting low here for us too. Usually January and February are the coldest months for us, and in March we usually get snow. It's a good decision to not run outside when it's icy because it's very dangerous. I have had some slips too when it has been really cold and when I went out on a run in the snow as well.
Thank you for your support 😊 Are you training for anything specific?
Currently I'm just starting back up after not running for a while. I had a bad foot sprain late last summer, which took nearly 2 months to fully heal, and after that my life just got really busy and I (pretty much) used that as an excuse to not run. I really could have if I managed my time wisely, though. It's my own fault for not keeping myself motivated.
Thankfully, I learned my lesson about not taking too long of breaks, as I lost a lot of my progress over the past 4 month. Not only that but my mental health was impacted more than expected from not running regularly. (Not sleeping as well, not having as much energy during the day, feeling more stressed, not thinking as sharply, and feeling more depressed than usual.)
So, I'm building myself back up and I want to enter some races when the warm weather returns. Some 5K's and 10K's. Possibly a half marathon, which I'm trying to shoot for.
Hope your foot is now okay. That's the problem, injuries happen and can end up causing setbacks. When I first started running years ago I hurt my knee which never felt like it healed, so I stopped running for many years. I only picked it back up again over a year ago so I'm trying to be very careful now.
5Ks and 10Ks are really good distances. I've really enjoyed running 10Ks and I still do. I think once I have experienced running a full marathon then I'll run shorter distances more regularly.
Running and exercising helps so much with mental health. That's one of the reasons I started running again. It has also helped me sleep a bit better sometimes, so hopefully it will help you too. Keep it up 😊
@@YuennyLam Thanks. You too!
I am currently in my first week of marathon training! I'm super excited and super nervous! I've ran 3 half marathons, but this is my first marathon! Keep up the great work! ❤
I know the feeling. I'm the same, in terms of how exciting it is to be training for a marathon but also nervous 😬 I've only run one Half Marathon so far and have another one in March, around a month before the actual Marathon. Good luck with the training for yours! Which one are you running as your first?
@@YuennyLam We can be excited and nervous together!!!! Thank you - good luck with yours as well! We will have to keep in touch and check in on each other! I love seeing other women training for their first marathon!!!! I have a course planned around my house - it will be challenging and fun! Which one are you running for your first?
@@raeliahoffman022 Definitely keep in touch and cheer each other on 💪 Do you use Instagram? I post most runs on there and would like to keep in touch. My first Marathon is going to be the one in Manchester 😊
@@YuennyLamI do not have Instagram but my hubby does (long story). If that isn't an option perhaps we could trade email addresses? Oh that's really cool your first will be in Manchester! I put in for doing a half marathon in the UK I'm September but I won't know until 8 Feb.
Which Half Marathon is that in September? You can e-mail me on yuennymail@gmail.com 😊
Great video, 12 weeks till my first one and also feeling the nerves, best of luck to you - you got this 👍🏻
Thanks. You got this too 💪 and I'm sure you'll do really well. Which marathon have you picked to be your first?
Best of luck in your marathon and training! =D
Thank you very much. I will do my best to train hard and cross the finish line 💪
Add oil mate. Happy new year 🎉 take care of yourself.
Happy New Year to you too and thanks 😊 I'll do my best 💪 Anything you want to change/achieve this year?
Well done. I'm training for my first marathon too but way behind where you are I'll be documenting too c
Well done for deciding to run a marathon! Which marathon is it going to be? All the best of luck 💪
You must be in Norfolk with roads like that? Good luck with the training
Haha...nope, far from Norfolk. Roads in Norfolk are nicer I think? Thanks - I feel nervous already 😬 Are you training for anything right now?
training for my first marathon in May. Its my first week and tomorrow it looks like I'll be running in that same rain you had on your long run hahahaha
That rain was absolutely horrendous, but it's got to be done. Hope it's not as bad as you expect and all the best of luck with the training. Which Marathon are you running as your first?
@@YuennyLam thanks, same to you for all your training.
Im in Melbourne, Australia and it'll be the great ocean road marathon, the course is along a coastal highway between two towns about 2hrs out of Melbourne.
@@Jockuptown Sounds like a nice course. I'd love to visit Australia one day. It's a lot warmer there than here right now, isn't it? It's single digits in terms of celcius here 🥶
@@YuennyLam yep middle of our summer but as im in Melbourne we are only mid 20s or so, up in Queensland itll be mid 30s-40s.
What marathon are you working towards? Hopefully it warms up in the UK by then!
@@Jockuptown Nice and warm 😊 By the time it gets to April it usually has warmed up, but temperatures can be a bit crazy, from one day being freezing and then heat-wave-like weather the next during spring time. So I have no idea what it'll be like when I come to run the Marathon. Just hope it's not too hot. I really wanted to get a place to run the London Marathon but unlucky this time, so I'm running the one in Manchester which is also a really big event 😊
