No prompt today - just a simple “how are yall doing?!” What’s hard right now? How’s training going? What can we support you with? 👇

Happy July everyone! I am super excited for this month's Athlete Spotlight, @Aimee Jones! Aimee, thank you for being a part of the community and congrats again on your first marathon! Can't wait to cheer you on as you crush your next goals 🙂You can see her full feature here: https://www.myfirstmarathon.co/post/first-marathon-buddy-program-athlete-spotlight-meet-aimee

Howdy MFM crew! 🤠 Happy Monday :) First off - a MASSIVE welcome to our newest members! We're so stoked you're here, tell us a little bit about yourself in comments! @Shelby Herban @Melissa Beilfuss @Amy Artyomenko @Ashley Blankenship @Kaitlin Ketcham @Ryan Czar @Bobby SIsock Second - couple updates based on ya'lls feedback! - Added the "Ask a Marathoner Tab" and moved some of the questions we've gotten so far in there. I'll be adding a FAQ post both from questions I get on the show and ones we've gotten here from the community. The goal is to make it a judgement free zone to ask the group of experienced runners we have here, so ask away! - Added a separate "weekly posts" section to keep the gen discussion page a little less crowded, and give @Kristine Owen Wood a place for her polls so you never miss one :) Thanks for being here! Go crush whatever goals you have this week!

Seeing as it’s heat season, how are we all getting our sodium/electrolytes in? Let us know your main method & why!

Hi friends! First of all I want to thank @Kristine Owen Wood and @Erin Phifer for holding down the community for the last few weeks - we're lucky to have you!! I have been dealing with a ton of crazy in my personal life and haven't been posting here as much as I'd love - BUT I'm happy to share that we're back and better than ever! We're going to be putting in a big push to continue to support you all and continue building the community. I've got a little Skool revamp coming very soon, but want to get your input first here before we announce it to new members! Would you rather have: 1) For Q&As: - Monthly "Ask a coach" calls - whether it's 2 of us or 50 of us, having a "ask a coach" session on the calendar once a month where we can all enter a no judgement Q&A zone on all things first marathon! It would also be great to connect with more of you face to face as well :) OR - A thread for "Ask a Marathoner" where you can drop your questions there, and we'll answer them for you separate from the main group discussion thread Are you interested in: 2) Marathon "Buddy" - pairing you with an experienced marathoner who is willing to be apart of the mentorship program who is your go-to for all things marathon support? Would love your feedback below! 👇
