Marathon 3/40: Germany
I got my lottery slot for Berlin (Sept 29, 2019) months before I made my 40 marathons in 40 countries in 4 years goal - so my goals shifted drastically by the time I started training (from running a PR on a flat, fast course; to simply running it feeling strong). But I would run it 8 weeks after Cambodia so I did have the time for a decent build and even taper before toeing the line.

Marathon 2/40: Cambodia
After making the decision to run 40 marathons in 40 countries in 4 years, finishing the month of my 40th birthday, and sharing this goal publically, I started planning my race schedule for the rest of 2019. I also had some sleepless nights filled with anxiety, terrified about this big goal and thinking about everything that could go wrong to stop me from achieving it. That fear slowly faded when I started adding to my weekly running volume and getting back into shape. |
