Marathon training perks you haven’t thought about… Your perception of what’s “hard” expands. Things that used to overwhelm you feel manageable. Long runs recalibrate your mind, and suddenly stress, work, and daily challenges feel lighter. You learn how powerful small, boring actions are. Mileage adds up slowly. Recovery adds up slowly. But the compounding effect is massive. Marathon training teaches you that tiny daily wins build big outcomes. Your ability to follow through skyrockets. You don’t just make plans and talk about them anymore. You execute them. Week after week. That consistency becomes one of the strongest forms of self-trust you’ll ever build. Your community grows. You’ll find many other people with similar goals and values are training for the exact same thing. You get to align yourself with new people looking to grow. Food. You burn a shit ton of calories. Go enjoy some grub. #running #marathontraining #fitness #runners #longdistancerunning
