Cardio or aerobic options are endless and, believe it or not, enjoyable. What you pick is totally up to you—just make sure you like it or, at the very least, can tolerate it. If you’ve got favorites, go for them. If not, we have got you covered.
After clocking hundreds of kilometers, it’s not just the legs that need a break — the mind does too. Recovery isn’t just about ice baths and stretching; it’s about unplugging, finding joy beyond the stopwatch, and reminding yourself that rest is part of the plan, not a sign of weakness. So whether you’re chasing a medal or just your next personal best, don’t skip the post-run pizza, naps, or Netflix therapy. Your brain will thank you — and so will your running shoes.
Training for a marathon taught me more than just how to run long distances—it reshaped my mindset, discipline, and priorities. I set goals, pushed past limits, and learned to listen to my body.
