I ran my first marathon. Here are 6 things I did that set me up for success, and 1 that nearly sabotaged me.
Briefly

"I signed up because completing a marathon, especially as a runner living in New York, felt like a big bucket-list accomplishment."
"I started training the first week of July, following a popular 18-week beginner plan. My long runs - the most important ones - were on Saturdays."
"Movements such as deadlifts and goblet squats helped me build up muscle in my legs. Over time, I noticed a difference in my running performance."
"My only regret was consuming too much caffeine, which caused digestive issues."
