I never ran more than 4 miles before this. But after 60 days of focused training, I crossed the finish line with a sub-4 hour marathon. Here’s how I made it happen and how you can train for your first marathon: 🏃‍♂️ Weekly Runs: 4-5 runs per week, mixing in a long run, intervals, and easy recovery runs. 🫀 Zone 2 Focus: Most runs were slow, steady, and in Zone 2. That’s where the real aerobic gains live. 🏋️‍♂️ Strength Training: 3x per week of lifting to build durability and reduce injury risk. Don’t skip this. 🥩 Nutrition: High-protein, nutrient-dense foods. Bug carb focus pre/post runs. Fuel the work, recover fast, and stay lean. 🛌 Recovery: Sleep, cold plunges, sauna, and active recovery walks. More mileage means more stress—respect it. You don’t need to be a lifelong runner. You just need a plan, some grit, and consistency. If I can go from 4 miles to 26.2 in 60 days, so can you. Let me know if you’re thinking about running your first — I got you 👊 #marathontraining #runn...
