3 tips for Marathon in a Month success
If you plan on running your Marathon in a Month, proudly supported by Aldi, these tips will help to get you started.
1. Set your July goal: You need a challenge that will keep you motivated to run on the days when it’s easy to make an excuse. The challenge should be realistic but perhaps a little bit outside your comfort zone. Don’t make it too ambitious, you want to stick to your plan and not miss a run.
2. Get a plan in place: Work out what’s needed to get you to your goal. Be realistic about the time you can dedicate. See your July availability on one page and then add in your runs. Looking at your plan on one sheet of paper makes it feel real and less daunting.
3. Make it real: Make yourself accountable. Once your goal is on paper and you have a realistic plan in place, tell your family and friends. Print out the plan and put it somewhere you will see it every day. The more people that know, the less likely you are to skip a run.
You might even encourage others in your house to join you, sponsor you or manage to get a running buddy for the month.
