Thank you, I hope to gain more marathon training tips! Jay-runs ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Weight Gain While Marathon Training Hi Coach Claire, I really enjoyed your episode about weight gain while training for marathons. I have just started training for my first marathon so this episode came at just the right time. Like a lot of us, I have put pressure on myself to lose a few pounds so I can be “faster.” Since this episode I have put my scale away and started listening to what my body needs rather than what the number on the scale says. Thank you!
