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.

My wife just looks at preplanned training regiments that match her splits and what she's hoping for in terms of finish time and picks once that looks like it would be doable considering her schedule.

A lot of it will be gut training and figuring out what you need along the the way in terms of hydration and nutrients

Definitely plan to listen to my body as much as possible. I have a tendency to overwork myself when it comes to exercise. But hopefully running is a bit easier to judge.
