Shout Out!

Hi Angie and Trevor, During the last twenty weeks as I’ve been
 training for my first marathon, using Angie’s Beginner Marathon plan. I did most of my training in the early mornings before my kids (4!) got up and the days got busy.

The morning of the Marathon it was quite fresh until the 10k point when in it started raining for the rest of the race. The trails I was running on quickly turned to mud and as I got soaked and ran through puddles, I realised my five hour time goal was going to be missed and I battled my own mind just after the halfway point and found myself struggling to run for more than a few kilometres at a time.

My family had been so kind and were driving to meet and cheer me on at checkpoints throughout the race which kept me going, as well as remembering what you guys always say, “Your first marathon is about just finishing, injury free.” I knuckled down and pushed really hard and was able to finish strong in 5.12.55. I’m so proud to have run my first Marathon and after an easy few weeks of recovering I am already planning my next one! Thank you so much to you both.

I really appreciate the training plan that got me so far and for continuing to push me. I did run a marathon and it has changed my life!! -Kym from Victoria, Australia.
