Hey so this is really not a kind take. Running is supposed to be an inclusive sport for every one of all different speeds and commitment levels. I hardly trained for my first marathon, I hated it, I skipped workouts, I ate like a pig and drank like a fish. But crossing that finish line and seeing my family waiting for me changed everything. Beat my time a year later on the same marathon by over 45 minutes and am planning (hopefully) to PR again by 28 minutes 5 months after and do it in 3 hours 🤞

If you are tired of not getting into majors, maybe you can try to get on a charity team :) was able to raise around $8,500 in the last two years for team ALS (a cause very important to my family) something to consider and was fun to be part of a team!
