Number one rule of marathon training (and life in general):
❌ Don't compare yourself to others
Unless you're Kipchoge, there'll always be someone running faster, longer & more often than you, doing bigger sessions & with newer kit.
Stick to your plan & what works for you ✔️

"If athletics is in search of new fans & a way to be relevant in the modern world, you would think a growing army of long distance runners would be one place to look."
