Motivation

Get support

Many runners don't share their marathon goals with their friends and family, missing out on some major motivation.

Fats

Make half your grains whole

The other half of your grains should not be refined, but enriched with iron and foliate or "fortified" with added nutrients.

For beginners

Build up

Practice running harder in the last half of your runs.

Reverse split

Practice running faster in the second half of your runs.

Work your way up

If you decide to train for longer runs, do not try a marathon as your first race. Work your way up gradually.

Training

Know you can

Mental preparation is half the battle in marathon running. Believe you can do it, and you can.
