😅Every runner has a different pace, and it's normal to get slower as we age.
🏃♂️Choose a marathon with a time limit that matches your pace to avoid the stress of strict cutoffs.
🏃♀️Include long runs in your training to prepare for the marathon distance and familiarize yourself with race-day conditions.
🕑Consider extending your training cycle to allow for more recovery time and avoid overtraining.
👭Run with friends or recruit buddies to join you for sections of the race to provide support and motivation.
