I Made Every Rookie Mistake Before My First Marathon (So You Don’t Have To)

Running my first marathon taught me a lot… mostly the hard way. 😅 In this video, I’m sharing the marathon tips I wish I knew before race day. Some of these are obvious once you’ve experienced a marathon, but they’re easy to overlook when you’re training for your first one. In this video I cover: • Why strength training matters just as much as running • How to practice your race-day nutrition before the marathon • Carb loading mistakes to avoid (and when to start) • Why you should test everything before race day • The Vaseline trick that can help prevent blisters and chafing • Small race-day tips that can make a big difference Whether you’re training for your first marathon, your first half marathon, or you’re looking to avoid common beginner mistakes, I hope these lessons help make your race day a little smoother.
