don't rush into Marathons
@Cycliste hasn't really taken that advice on board. She started running about 3 months ago, and has entered the Barcelona Marathon in early March. Having said that, I have absolutely no doubt she'll be absolutely fine. Time for me to buy some running shoes and join in the fun.
Brommers-
My thinking... It's the entry route to running for lots, go run a big city marathon which is a big undertaking & can leave folks pretty broken and not enjoying running a result
I'm relating to my own experience (on a similar timeline) where the "it was for charity" mentality overrode sensible injury management for me. I enjoyed it enough to continue but out of a group of 5 doing the same at same time, only 1 other continued too.

Enjoy it, join a beginner supportive club/group, enjoy it more, take it slowly don't rush into Marathons etc without building your foundations with plenty of time on feet etc. Enjoy!
