Brand spankin' new Ask A Marathoner tab!
Hello friends! For this tab, I plan to collect all the qs and advice I've gotten on the show and compiling it here in a few different posts. Eventually, I would love to do a monthly call here where we can bounce ideas off of each other! Aside from that - please feel free to post any and every marathon question you have here. We have 15+ mentors in this group that would love to answer your questions, myself included! Judgement free zone :) Ask away!

@Jeff Bullard before my half in March, I was so nervous that when I was trying to fuel beforehand, I couldn’t stomach it and felt like I was going to be sick! If you know any tips or tricks to help combat that, I’m all ears. 😅

Would you rather….
You’ve planned a marathon over a year out and it’s coming up in 55 days. Your sons baseball team unexpectedly is playing in a tournament 4 hours away that same weekend. Would you…. 1. go to the tournament (defer until next year, give the bib away, pick a new race) 2. Run

@Kristine Owen Wood these are GREAT questions! I too am not a parent, so I can't speak personally on that aspect, but @Aimee Jones I think if you feel less stressed about deferring the marathon to next year, that may help you lean towards one decision. :) Again, not a parent so can't share from that perspective, but I do want to emphasize that even if you decide to do the marathon as planned, that is NOT being selfish! You made a commitment to yourself and have been working towards that for a long time. I think either way you choose, you are showing up positively not just for your son, but for you. ❤️

@Annika Olson I had the same happen to me! I think it’s normal to feel nervous, but you’ve got this! You’ve gone through months of training, and your body is ready!
