Follow these steps and you can run a marathon:

  1. Sign up for a race and give yourself 2-3 months to train. 
    It’s amazing how spending $100 motivates you to get out there and run when you don’t feel like it.
  2. Sign up for a course with a run club. 
    The lectures and training runs will get you ready for the race.  Running friends will get you motivated and keep you accountable.
  3. Follow the training plan.  
    As long as you do the training, you will finish the marathon.
  4. Wear proper gear.  
    This means the right shoes, shorts, shirts and accessories.
  5. Listen to your body.  
    Learn the difference between good and bad pain to avoid injury.  Learns how much rest you need and how hard you can push yourself.
A little intro about me:

My name is Kev and I‘ve always loved running. I used to be a grade 2 track star – I competed in sprints but I didn’t take up long distance running for years.

Back in the dark days… I worked a miserable job, stayed in a miserable relationship, stopped exercising and started to grow a beer gut.  After I started jogging the dark cloud lifted and life started to get better.

My distances started getting longer and I signed up for for my first half marathon.  After two
halves I bit the bullet and started marathon running.
