Erin Shaw :
The spin I put on bad runs is that they are the best for building mental resilience, and that resilience is what's going to get you through on Marathon day.

I saw Philly Bowden say once that 1/3 of runs will feel amazing, 1/3 will feel ok, and 1/3 will feel crap - and knowing an elite runner thinks that made me feel a lot better! I’ve also run 2 marathons and can tell you you will have soo many ups and downs in the trainings - when everything clicks it’s the best feeling ever but it’s only natural you’ll have doubts creeping in to. Just know that the marathon is a mind game - you’ll have done the training to get your body ready, you just have to lock in and get it done! Sounds silly but try smiling when you’re struggling - your body doesn’t know the difference between a forced or natural smile and I swear it does help!! Good luck - you’ll smash it!

I was exactly the same during my marathon training! Some runs felt super hard, and some felt really good but I was sooo nervous to run the marathon. My biggest tip is trust your taper and fuel fuel fuel the week going into your marathon, and you’ll absolutely fly!🥰

You will always have some bad runs and you will also have some good ones. It’s not going to be easy… one advice I would definitely give you is that you need to run slower on your longer runs

I did my first marathon in April and i had runs where i felt like crying a few k in as they felt so hard! Yet, the marathon was one of the best runs ive done! Mara training is as much of a mental struggle as it is a physical - but you are always capable of way more than you can imagine!!🩷

Some runs are gonna be amazing and some are not gonna be it. It’s a very normal feeling of marathon training. I am currently training for my 3rd and still have runs which are hard and feel not the best. This is so normal and you are definetly not alone. Keep going you’re doing amazing 🥰

No advise as I’m in the same boat but I’m booked to do a half marathon in November. I did an 8K today & felt just like you! It’s so annoying how one day you’re flying and another is a struggle. Hopefully you get some helpful tips 💖

Not all runs are going to be good runs lovely. I had never ran and did my first run ever in August and ran London marathon. I promise it’s so possible. Running is SUCH a mental game xx

Not every run will feel great! If you have access to a gym also use the cross trainer/eliptical and replicate long runs on it just to get yourself use to exercising for that long! Great way to get a session in with a lot less impact on your body!

So many factors can lead to a change in performance. I always think getting through these runs where you question your race, is the whole point. At least your prepared to run feeling bad, chances are you’re going to feel better on race day and perform better. But you can also have confidence in performing while not feeling good.

You will definitely have some bad runs! I remember after my longest training block run a 34k which I couldn’t complete I thought there is absolutely no way I’m going to be able to do this. But it’s different on the day it’s so true what they say the crowd really does carry you through! The marathon has been my favourite run I’ve ever done just keep reminding yourself how strong you are for even signing up and believing you can do it!!

So so normal!! First time I was supposed to run over a half marathon on my training block I failed it and had a breakdown. Cut to a few weeks ago and I completed my marathon and felt amazing the whole time. I had no idea how i was going to do it but honestly the crowds on the day are like magic
