I like to say miles matter. I had an older training plan that had me running for time and not specific miles. The trouble comes in when your long run is set for two hours or three hours on the day that could be 13 miles or 18 miles. I like setting the miles in training so on race day i can say i did that when i pass the mile markers.
Triathlon to the marathon
After many years of long and short course triathlons at 45 i decided if i would ever be able to complete the 140.6 Ironman i needed to give 26.2 a shot. I entered the Chicago lottery and like a million other didn’t get in so i selected Richmond in 2025 as my first. This race was my fathers first marathon back in the 80s and the town i grew up in so it was a great experience going back home for MFM. The training went amazingly with no injuries (goal #1) finished the race (goal #2) and just missed my last goal of sub 5 miles. I met you Taylor in the start corral and learned about the podcast. I’ve listened to nearly all the episodes now and enjoy it very much. Waiting for the registration to open for my second marathon in 2027.

@Norah St Peter it was so nostalgic running through neighborhoods i grew up in and have t been back to in 25 years. The section n river road on the south side of the river was amazing.
