Tuesday marked my very first workout of my new marathon training cycle. I was excited but very nervous because I wasn’t quite sure if I would be able to hit the paces that the training called for. The workout was 6 x 800 meter repeats with 400 meter recovery...

My marathon training plan has officially started. I’ve been going back and forth in trying to determine which marathon I would be aiming for. Originally I had said I was leaning towards the Greensboro, NC marathon on October 18th. This would have been a great...
