What I Wish I Knew BEFORE My First Marathon
It’s one of the first things I began to search about when training for my first marathon, what did others learn from their experience so I could get mine right? Well after running one I can say there were multiple things before, during and after my marathon that I learnt.
Today I share with you some things I wish I knew when it comes to training for and running a marathon. I’ve split the video up into three parts to go into detail about what I wish I knew before, during and after running my first marathon.

Great vid mate
Training for my third and fourth marathons this year. Looking forward to gaining some additional insight from your videos. Thanks for taking the time and effort in recording, editing and posting them.
Thank you, Jack. Some really useful tips. I've done 2 Halves and will be doing my first full Marathon in October this year 🙂

No worries at all! Wishing you all the best with training for your first Marathon in October! 😁
🎉 insightful messages 🎉
Can totally relate to you talking about pain and setbacks. I am 1 month from my 4th marathon, and I pulled my hammy last week. On a rest and recovery track and just have to trust the training to get me through it since I had to dial back the running to almost nothing...😢

Oh no, that's a major bummer! Reckon you're a chance to make the starting line for the 4th marathon? Or is it a bit too close 😪
Thank you! First marathon in a few weeks, so trying to get all the help and advice I can.

@@JackRuns Thank you! Finished with a time of 3:57:03! It hurt more than I ever thought it could, absolutely brutal last 10km. But got my goal of sub-4.

How'd you go!? Keen to hear how it went :D
Hoping to train for a marathon soon. Started running 6 months ago as a means to lose weight and I have come to love it ever since. Trained for 5k x 16 weeks, currently training for 10k. Might do another cycle of this and then do a 21 km running program. The reason why I take it slow is because my baseline pace is very slow (55 mins for 5 km). Was able to improve it to 33 mins after 16 weeks. Hoping to meet the milestone/s needed to do a sub 4-hour marathon before actually training for it.

That's a massive improvement in your 5k time in just 16 weeks! That's a great progression towards the marathon distance too - happy running! 🏃👟
