Who we connect with and find motivation from is different for each of us, but you'll likely find a runner in this group you can relate to. Each shared their running background and motivations for training for their first marathon! runninglifestyle.substack.com/p/7-runners-...

We did it! Our #firstmarathon completed in #Paris of all cities. This truly is our #ArcdeTriomphe @jlasher.bsky.social
Yes, I am openly weeping in this photo. Yes, those are tears of relief and joy and pride. Soooo different from the tears shed at miles 18, 19, 22, and 23

First half of our #firstmarathon: singing to the jams in our ears (not to brag, but I have an EPIC running playlist), power-ups and unbridled excitement.
Not pictured: me doing a little #Mario jump after tapping the power up!

Three weeks ago I changed my #running shoes from the balanced Hoka Skyflow to the super plush Bondi 9.
For the last week-ish my #Achilles has been barking at me… so much that I skipped this week’s long run, which I hate 2 months out from my #firstmarathon.
Is this coincidence or is this a thing?

Expectation going into training for my first marathon:
“As I run more, I’ll become faster and shed a few pounds.”
Reality: My pace keeps slowing and I’ve gained weight from fueling.
I am a slow, thicc runner.
I am the corgi of running.

Don’t need a finish line or medal or free banana to celebrate a hard-fought win. New long run distance of 16 miles AND put on the afterburners the last mile to lower overall pace by more than ten seconds.
