Thinking about running your first marathon this fall? Whether you're a beginner or coming back after a break, this episode is packed with everything you need to know to get started. I'm sharing expert tips as a certified RRCA running coach, personal insights from training for over 20 marathons, and a FREE 18-week training plan to help you go from wherever you are now to crossing the finish line strong.

Inside this episode:

  • How to assess your fitness level for marathon readiness
  • Why discipline—not motivation—is the key to marathon success
  • What to expect in training (and why it’s different for women)
  • How to avoid injury and overtraining
  • Why I believe beginners should train up to 26.2 miles
  • Real talk on pace, goals, and what "winning" really means
