Marathon leading up to your first marathon

#2 Preparing a foundation

Remember to find the right gear

Finding the right trainer/coach can simplify the process significantly. They can help you keep track of training goals and create boxes for you to tick off along the way. They can also provide timely support and encouragement when you most need it. Getting the right gear is important too. It is where you figure out the right footwear and get suitable clothing for those long runs.

Having the right gear also boosts your confidence with respect to achieving the ultimate goal. Finding a set of individuals to train with, who have similar goals and are willing to put in the effort, will keep you pushing.
