A place to talk about fitness and health on Farcaster.

Training for my first half marathon. I’ve got about four months. Any advice from experienced runners? Things you wished you knew before you ran your first marathon / half marathon?

How long is your longest run at the moment? (Just to understand your starting point)

4 miles at a comfortable pace (10min per mile). 

I feel like I can probably do a longer run but haven’t pushed myself very hard.

Try to beat the “dead man running test”: run 10k in under 1 hour. Then you will be confident in increasing the distance a little bit every week. 
Half marathon is very long the first time. Train the head, not only the legs.

So true. Part of it definitely seems to be getting more comfortable with the discomfort 😂 appreciate the insight!
