I've decided I'm going to run a marathon. The running season in Aus is only a few months away, so I'm not going to aim for this year, but will focus on mid 2027.

Around 10 years ago, I used to run, a lot! I did lots of half marathons and parkruns, but never a full marathon! I'd already decided to train for a half (that's my goal for this running season), but after watching a few people talk about training up for a full marathon, I've decided I'm going to do it as well!

@ada thats awesome! marathons are great—much more of a mental game than halfs. maintaining focus to keep running is at least 50% of the required effort

@miriamrobern@dice.camp When I running a lot, I used to run HM distances during training without even thinking about it. I just got in to the zone and moved, almost on auto pilot.

One thing I've noticed is that these days, I find it much harder to get back in to that zone, which makes longer runs a bit more of an active process of will than I'm used to. So it's interesting to hear you say that about full marathons!
