If you are listening to this, you've either decided to run a marathon, you're thinking about

running a marathon, or maybe you just like me, which is pretty great.

But dude, this is huge.

Emily Abadi here, welcome back to Hurdle Moment from Hurdle, a podcast that talks to everyone

from entrepreneurs to top CEOs and

athletes about how they got through tough times, hurdles of sorts, by leaning into wellness.

For today's episode, I'm talking all about the must know things for new marathoners just

digging into a training cycle. I know right now is a huge time for people debating fall

marathons, so I'm just here to try and help you make a smart, capable decision. As far as my

marathon history goes, I remember how epic it was the moment I clicked confirm for my first

full marathon in Hartford. it was back in 2013.

I'd run in about four or five half marathons and really it was just something unexplainable

inside of me that made me feel like I was ready for more.

Of course, if you want to hear more about how I got into running as a whole, definitely

check out episode one of the podcast where I kind of give my whole lowdown.

Now, today, I'm seven marathons down. I'm personally debating a fall marathon. And I'm also a

certified run coach through the United Endurance Sports Coaching Association. And so honestly,

this all happened for me because at one point, I felt exactly how you do right now.

So today, we're going to dive into it.

As always, at Hurtle podcast on Instagram and Twitter, you can always hit me up as well over
