046: Half-Marathon to Full-Marathon: Tips & Tricks Pt. 1
Episode description
In the first episode of the Half-to-Full Marathon series we dive into the what it takes and what the incredible physical and psychological benefits are of both training for and running marathons.
We discuss how while training for and running half marathons is great, and a massively successful challenge and goal to be undertaken, but the full 26.2-mile marathon is a beast of its own, and should be respected as such.
We detail that the gains in confidence, interoception, and mental fortitude seem to be guaranteed as you increase your long runs, run on the days when you don’t particularly feel like it, and continually prove to yourself how strong you really are. We cover much more in this episode including why it’s so important to focus on recovery and how we can take full advantage of easier runs and active recovery days.
We hope you enjoy this episode and join us for upcoming episodes on fueling and hydration, training adaptations, and race day tactics!
