Just finished my first week of the marathon training program that Nike Run Club offers. I wanted something structured and easy: I like having someone/thing just tell me what to do and I do it. But I don’t care to track my runs with that app. it’s going well I guess. Working on my zone 2 on my recovery runs while also just kinda ignoring my HR on some other runs.

Anyway, what was ur training experience like? How did u feel, was it easy or hard? Did u use an app? Join a Strava club? No one I talk to irl is into running.

I completed my first marathon this year and vlogged my journey from struggling to do 3km, a first failed attempt and eventually completing.

I gained most from having a coach and gait analysis

Good luck with your marathon!
I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
