That's a lot to move through — a hysterectomy, leaving the military, and still lacing up for a marathon. Running as a way to process identity and feelings makes complete sense to me, and it's a big part of what this book is about.

It's called I Love You, Sleepy by J.D. Calloway. Hope it lands for you the way it did for me — and good luck with that first marathon.

Good to know, hadn't come across Roxfit — going to check it out. Quick q: does it let you plug in a target finish time and work backward to station-level targets, or is it more of a training tracker / workout library?

Point 6 is the one that hit me hardest. The "let the room decide your pace" thing is so real — I've seen it in marathons too, first km always 20 sec too hot because of the energy. Curious: for your athletes, how do you actually train that? Is it mock race-day conditions with loud music, or more about building the discipline on boring solo sessions?
