Have you ever hit the wall during a training run/long run? How did you handle it? (Asking because this actually happened to me during an 18-miler last Sunday). Stories/tips/advice all welcome! 🤲🏻

HUGE congrats to @Dom OBrien for smashing the Sydney marathon yesterday!! You are now a marathoner!!! 🎉 We’d love to hear about your experience when you’re ready! For now, soak it all in.😊 You did awesome!

Happy September y'all! This month's Athlete Spotlight is @Aury Moreno 🥳 Aury, we are so glad to have you in the community — you have such a joy and passion for running, and we can't wait to cheer you on ahead of your marathon in November! Aury shared that she had struggled with calling herself a runner for the longest time (me too!), and to be called an athlete was next level. I think it is a great reminder that we are often the hardest on ourselves, and that everyone in this group is absolutely an athlete! 👏 Be sure to check out her full spotlight — it's a good one!: https://www.myfirstmarathon.co/post/first-marathon-buddy-program-athlete-spotlight-meet-aury

If you were able to receive ONE model of shoe free for the rest of your life, but the trade-off was that you had to use that shoe (and ONLY that shoe) for ALL of your training runs and races, which shoe would you choose?

It is officially marathon week for @Dom OBrien before the TCS Sydney Marathon! 🎉 I bet you’re busy prepping, tapering, and likely traveling, so please let us know how we can support you in the days leading up to your first marathon! We are all rooting for you and so excited for you to tackle this!!
