First marathon!
So I've been into amateur bodybuilding for about 6 years. Recently been feeling like its just not enough and that I want something more. I saw a video from higherupwellness about the concept of a "misogi". I've never really been into running. Ran track in hs cross country but never loved it and 26.2 miles seems like a crazy thing to me, so thats what I landed on. I'm 3 weeks in to a 9 month training "plan" admittedly using a combination of AI and ideas from instagram run coaches because i can't afford a run coach or anything like that and don't want to go just off vibes. Im fairly fit as I never skipped liss cardio typically 30 mins a day on a treadmill with incline and have a physically demanding job. Fit enough to the point I can run 5 miles at a decent pace without stopping. I accidentally fell in love with it at the end of week 2. Any advice for someone like me? Thanks a ton!
Tldr: first time marathon runner. Planned race in 9 months. Looking for general and specific advice that those with experience would have!
