84: Everything Went Wrong: Why Paige ran another marathon anyway w/ Paige Spangler

from My First Marathon · host My First Marathon

Paige Spangler’s first marathon had all the ingredients for a disaster: a solo start, limited aid stations, an unexpectedly hilly course, and an 80-degree forecast she definitely didn’t plan for. But somehow, through tears, cramping, and complete dehydration, she made it across the finish line.In this episode, Paige shares how a petty goal to beat her dad’s marathon count turned into a full-on running career, why her first race nearly broke her, and what convinced her to try again. We talk about the reality of training through tough life seasons, learning how to fuel on a sensitive stomach, and the mental shift that happens when you finally start to call yourself a runner.Follow along with Paige on Instagram and Tiktok at @pacingpaige!Follow along with the show:👣 Personal IG/TikTok: @tay.says / @taysays🎙️ Podcast IG/TikTok: @myfirstmarathonpod📺 YouTube: @MyFirstMarathonPodcast🌐 Website & extras: myfirstmarathonpodcast.com & myfirstmarathonpodcast.com/exclusives
