From Couch to Marathon.
Mindful. Intentional. Relatable.
I'm training for my first marathon and sharing every mile, misstep, and small victory along the way.
hi, i'm maren
I didn't grow up a runner.
I started running from scratch, and somewhere along the way, I decided to see just how far I could take it.
Now I'm training for my first marathon - documenting the good runs, the bad runs, the lessons, and all the ridiculous bits in between.

COME RUN WITH ME
Three ways to follow the journey
THE JOURNEY
I've never had a soft spot for running. As a child, I hated it. I never thought I'd become someone who actually looked forward to a run.
Now I'm training for a marathon after starting from scratch; and I'm figuring it out one mile at a time.

THE RUN
Beginner-friendly run/walk strategies, gear, lessons and practical things I'm learning along the way.
THE MINDSET
Mindfulness, motivation, body awareness, consistency and finding more joy in running.
Traditional running culture can feel intimidating... I believe running is just as much about your mind as it is about your lungs...
Because becoming a runner isn't just about what happens on the road. It's about everything that happens in your head along the way.
