Just finished my first week of the marathon training program that Nike Run Club offers. I wanted something structured and easy: I like having someone/thing just tell me what to do and I do it. But I don’t care to track my runs with that app. it’s going well I guess. Working on my zone 2 on my recovery runs while also just kinda ignoring my HR on some other runs.
Anyway, what was ur training experience like? How did u feel, was it easy or hard? Did u use an app? Join a Strava club? No one I talk to irl is into running.


I think it really depends on a lot of specifics, but my main point is, you are probably best off getting a large range of stimuli.

Yeah, doing anything is most important, and then it’s good to add variety, perhaps for VO2max but also to improve muscle strength etc etc
