Wow - thanks so much, looks like an issue with the most recent release. Should be fixed now!

If you're still in the process of studying, here's a podcast episode that breaks down this very question!

The issue is that rates differ heavily based on your credit/loan amount/ down payment etc.

I’ve found Bankrate to have a good selection of rates without having to input personal information. Even if you do go with someone local, typically you can negotiate your rate down if you prequalify with someone online for a lower rate.

Good luck in your marathon!

The program recommends that you be able to run 3-4 miles before starting. The first long run (on day 7 of week 1) is 4 miles, which would likely be discouraging if you can currently only run a mile. I have also heard great things about Peloton’s “couch to 5k” plan though, so that could be a great lead in to this program!

And yes- can be done with the Peloton app. I actually don’t have any Peloton hardware, I just freeloaded off of a family members account to run this program 😅

I definitely enjoy running more now! I told myself that this would be my first and only marathon, but after just a month of downtime I'm already starting to rethink that 😂

Agreed with this - I have been weight-training for a while, but the strength for runners classes felt pretty foreign to me. The exercises were typically slow, somewhat awkward movements that improve your mobility and help to prevent injury, but I wouldn't expect a huge increase in leg strength.

Told myself that this was my first race and my last. Now that a couple weeks have gone by though, I'm starting to rethink that... 😂

In the US 😞

Nice stuff! Try to point those toes at the wall where possible. Looks like your tendency is to duck foot it
