There is no one-size-fits-all approach to fitness, workouts, or marathons. Everyone has different goals for themselves and will have different needs when it comes to training and running. It can also be challenging to find the motivation and inspiration to stay consistent, but it's all about finding what works for you and sticking to it. One of the best ways to create consistency is by joining a community or group in your area. Getting involved with other people who are also trying to achieve or make changes in their lives will help you stay motivated.
Join the conversation with Bridget Boss Faison as she shares her journey and experiences in training, workouts, and marathons. Bridget is a two-time half marathon finisher, a guidance counselor, and an educator. She completed a half marathon and a second one just recently. Fitting her training and workouts into her lifestyle has helped her accomplish her goals and change her body and life.
