Introducing the First Marathon Buddy Program! This community was founded to make training for a marathon feel less intimidating and make those long runs feel a little less lonely.
The First Marathon Buddy Program isn't a training plan, but it will work alongside your training plan to guide you through training for your first marathon.
What You'll Get:
A 20-week First Marathon Buddy Program to support and guide you through your training. It works alongside any and all training plans.
Support and structure, without the cost or commitment of a full-time coach.
Access to a private Strava group for accountability and extra kudos.
Bi-monthly live webinars and Q&A style support from a group of 16 running mentors (and growing!). Each mentor has been where you are and is ready to share tips and tricks to get you through the hardest days.
Member-only discounts on merch and 1:1 coaching services.
The First Marathon Buddy Program is broken into four phases across 20 weeks. Brought to you by an RRCA-certified run coach who has interviewed over 100 marathoners, the program will prioritize the most important information. You're training for a marathon - it's hard enough without sifting through an internet full of information that may or may not apply to you!
Phase 1: Getting Started
Set expectations for your first marathon, learn how to read your training plan, build a sustainable weekly routine, discover what "easy" actually feels like for your easy runs, and understand soreness as you start to ramp up your mileage.
Phases 2, 3, and 4 will continue guiding you through the training process, including building confidence, getting through peak training, and preparing for race day. And, once you cross the finish line, we'll help you answer the question..."what's next?"
No one runs a marathon alone, and the First Marathon Buddy Program is a one-of-a-kind, supportive community to help get you to the finish line.
