Running out of time to train
Why It’s Bad: If you get winded taking the stairs, don’t sign up for a marathon for two months from now thinking it will force you to train really hard. It’s great to motivate yourself with a tangible goal, but an unrealistic timeframe will lead to injury or disappointment.
The Fix: If you’re healthy and fit enough to do a half marathon, then you’ll need about another two to three months of solid training to get to the finish line for a full marathon. If you can barely manage a mile, give yourself 12 to 18 months. Also, if you’ve never run a 5K, 10K, or half marathon, consider starting with a shorter race first and work your way up.
Cheers and keep running!
