| 0:00.0 | Hello, my angels. I hope you're well. Welcome to the podcast. Today I kind of want to talk about |
| 0:07.8 | marathon training, gym, nutrition, my mindsets around it. And I'm sure once I've done the marathon, |
| 0:15.9 | I'll have a load more tips from the actual race day. But I know that I've got like some strong mindsets going into |
| 0:25.0 | the race I hear a lot of people have like race time goals even if it's their like first or second |
| 0:33.6 | marathon which I think is absolutely fine but on on my behalf, I found that really detrimental |

| 1:43.0 | wasn't purposely like in a negative harsh way |
