Welcome First Time Marathoners! · First Marathon Buddy Program

Welcome First Time Marathoners!

Hey everyone - welcome to the My First Marathon community!

The first thing I want you to know is the thought of running a marathon doesn't cross most people's mind, so the fact that you're taking this chance on yourself means you're doing something incredible for yourself. We don't take that lightly, and you shouldn't either. You should be SO PROUD of yourself for even taking that leap of faith!

Here's the details & expectations of the group!

Be kind! There will be a lot of first timers here working their way through running their first marathons just like you. When discussions come up, be thoughtful and kind with your answers.
Be supportive & active! Post your training stories, questions, and successes/set backs as much as you choose! We want this to be a helpful and interactive experience for all.
Have fun! The running community is the best group of people I know - let's show eachother that love.
When the First Marathon Buddy Course launches on 2/9, you'll have the opportunity to start your monthly membership and gain access to a ton of resources like a 20-week course meant to help you make sense of your own training plan, access to a private Strava built for first timers, and access to bi-monthly Q&A style calls to help guide you along your journey. Stay tuned for more info!

To kick things off - please share the story of your running journey and which marathon you're choosing as your first so we can get to know you!

Thanks for being here, I'm so excited for this to launch 🧡
