Week 1 of training towards the Belfast City Marathon on 3rd May is complete, and I’m quietly pleased with how it went.Nothing dramatic or heroic just getting out the door and doing the work, often in proper January conditions. I covered just over 20 miles across the week, spread sensibly around work, family, and life in general. A mix of road and trail runs helped keep things interesting and stopped me running the same loop repeatedly while questioning my decisions.A few lessons stood out early on. Pacing mattered more than anything keeping things genuinely easy meant finishing runs feeling controlled rather than broken. I also chose to run without music, which was tougher than expected but surprisingly helpful. It forced me to focus on breathing, technique, and staying relaxed rather than distracted.There was discomfort at times, cold legs, heavy feet but instead of fighting it, I tried to accept it and remind myself that this is part of conditioning both body and mind.New trainers and socks were also introduced this week, which already feels like an excellent life decision.Rest days were built in and felt just as important as the running. Recovery feels like an investment, not a luxury. On to week 2.
