Note from Coach Lida

Your first marathon is such a unique experience! I am excited to talk all things running, marathoning, and prepping to get you successfully to the race start and finish! It'll take hard work and dedication, but with the right mindset and the right coaching, it is possible! 

​

This class is exciting because there are so many aspects to juggle while you are training for your marathon. These are all the things I wish someone would have gone through with me as I went through training for my first. We are here to support you along this journey!
