A lot can happen in 26.2 miles. Looking back on my first Marathon I can pinpoint what went right and what went wrong. The main thing to think about is that it can all change very quickly. One minute you feel like...

I'm a hopeless competitor. Give me any situation and I can see a way to crown a winner. Mind you, most of the time the other competitors have no idea they're in a race. All they see is some idiot rushing...
I discovered my super powers about 35-minutes into my first ever +5km run. I'd been running for what felt like hours, yet I wasn't tired, I wasn't even that sweaty or pink. If I hadn't been summoned for dinner, I'd probably...
