Podcast: Episode 21 – Things I Wish I’d Known Before I Ran My First Marathon

This week, someone sent in a question . . .

And the question was: What do you wish you’d known before you ran your first marathon?

How long have you got? The first marathon is such a learning curve! But we talk a bit about:

• How the fatigue of training can trick you into thinking you are less prepared than you are
• Demystifying the bonk. It’s something that scares a lot of people, but it’s not really something that has to happen or that you can’t get through.
• Why you probably need to step away from the internet
• Mental preparation
• The role of nutrition and why the last week is like cramming for a test.
