I just wrote a guest post for the Marathon Training Academy Website. This is another post in a series where I talk about my experience of training for my first marathon. Below is a part of the article, but you can read the rest over at the link. In this article I talk about making one final surge during my training. I have enjoyed training for my first marathon, but now it is time to really surge ahead if I am going to be successful. I tell a story about being on a long run and realizing that I only have a short time before the big day.
