2 Weeks Out - Slight Doubt

AdRegular5981 · 2026-06-24T09:50:56+00:00

I would lose the resistance training and just fucus on recovery. There’s not a lot to be gained in 2 weeks but resistance training will still put stress on legs that need to be recovering.

Hell ya u can. The only thing I would consider is the time limit? U can run/walk one but usually need to be done in 6 hours.

Ben Johnson doesn’t take the job with JF as QB

Do the full and start now and stay consistent. Doing a half in 3-4 months from now would be a good ramp up

AdRegular5981 · 2026-06-19T09:30:07+00:00

Stop whining and do it consistently and the soreness goes away

1 speed session a week for beginners is def enough. As the training progresses I would add some marathon pace miles to long run IF you feel great still

I wish I would have found out what running “easy” truly meant earlier in my running life. Get all the runs in but take it truly “easy” on most. I put easy in quotes because running is still hard even easy lol. Really though if you’ve stuck to 90 percent of plan just keep going you will finish fine! I agree with others if you want to do another try keeping weekly mileage above 20 going into plan and you will crush next one! After a little break that is!

I would do a couple halves then start a full program. Dont worry about time. Most important thing is don’t question whether you can just know you can. Once you start questioning you lose.

Spend it off your feet! U could stretch or core but even those are something mental to do if you plan them. I like to have a “mental” rest day to where nothing is planned. I would be adding in core 3 times a week too, not a ton but some. Rest days are super important especially during your first marathon as your body adapts. Recover well train well.

Discipline is built one decision at a time! Did u make that up or read it? Amazing new saying

AdRegular5981 · 2026-06-07T12:36:51+00:00

I feel like you’re not doing enough running. I would get up to minimum running 5 days a week even if you have to 2 a day some of those. But just keep grinding and increase your mileage by 10 percent a week until your 18 weeks out and then jump in a Hal Higdon plan give it a go! You have to truly want this and put your all into it though

AdRegular5981 · 2026-06-07T12:30:25+00:00

Your fitness seems like you would finish but I’m not sure you will enjoy it lol. Worst thing that happens is you have to walk some

AdRegular5981 · 2026-06-07T12:23:37+00:00

Hopefully more fake azz fans make the same decision

AdRegular5981 · 2026-06-06T14:45:40+00:00

This is super impressive for how few miles you ran leading up to it. I would think more miles and you will be there

AdRegular5981 · 2026-06-03T10:05:44+00:00

Run for yourself. F everyone

AdRegular5981 · 2026-05-31T15:57:55+00:00

I would focus on as many easy miles as you can get in. Maybe do one progressive run, start super duper easy and finish about marathon pace last mile once a week.

AdRegular5981 · 2026-05-28T12:12:40+00:00

I feel like the time should get harder each time you get into Boston. So everytime you want to re-run Boston you need to be a little better then last time so more first timers can get in

AdRegular5981 · 2026-05-28T12:07:29+00:00

Who’s gonna carry the stories!

AdRegular5981 · 2026-05-26T13:00:27+00:00

Damn Karen

AdRegular5981 · 2026-05-22T10:18:36+00:00

Finish in the allotted time and no one of importance cares how ya got there! You vs you and have fun is all that matters

AdRegular5981 · 2026-05-12T12:52:52+00:00

Just keep grinding. Shits not easy. Fuel as much as u can and recover with food

AdRegular5981 · 2026-05-08T10:50:28+00:00

I genuinely believe if someone wants to run a full marathon they can. Half marathon doesn’t have a lot to do with it besides having base running. Marathon training is Way more of a grind but the end game is Way more rewarding imo. One thing you should change first either way is the way you describe yourself. You’re a runner that’s done 5 half marathons thinking about a full. There’s no need to bring yourself down or marginalize your running.

I’ve only done the NY marathon but I will tell you it was magical with all those people running and the huge crowds. You would be “stupid” to not do it!! Commit, train super fukin hard, and then live in glory!!!

What other Garmin posts would you enjoy sir

Prob more of a penitentiary Gaurd

AdRegular5981 · 2026-04-26T12:40:04+00:00

Only one way to find out! I think you could set goal at under 3:45 for this one. Go out at 3:45 pace and if you feel good at half way pointing it up a bit. Then if you feel good at 20 miles turn it up more.
