First day of my marathon training!!
Today, is my first day of training for the White Rock Marathon (Dallas). I've been running around 10-15 miles a week since completing the White Rock half last fall. I'm praying to stay injury free so I can tackle this dream of doing a full marathon. I also started using PX90 to get in a good mixture.
Even though you didn't ask - My best advice would be to try to keep in tune with any potential injuries that may side track you for a while. If you catch something simple early enough, you can usually keep it at bay with some ice and a few days off. I would also make sure to stretch or do yoga. As you start doing your long runs you will feel what needs to be worked on. It also can't hurt to do some simple exercises to strengthen your hips, knees and ankles. Marathon training takes a lot of time but is well worth it at the start line and obviously the finish line.
