I’m not an avid runner but have done two half marathons with little to no training last year and do cardio 5-7 times a week. I spontaneously signed up for a full marathon which will take place in 5 weeks. A lot of people are telling me not to run it given that I haven’t trained. Any tips on how to prep given the small time window? I don’t have a time in mind and only care about finishing without injuring myself for this first full marathon. Would love to hear your advice!

Hello, I’m an LMSW in Michigan. I have 15 years of experience in the field as a clinician, supervisor, and an administrator. I am feeling burnt out and unsure of my future.

I’ve flirted with private practice work in the past, but my spouse has been worried about not having affordable healthcare and benefits that each system provides. Is it worth the jump? Am I overthinking things?

Kind of a new distance runner here (completed my first half mara last month) and am usually run on treadmill for workouts during the week. I also wear an Apple Watch. Have noticed that my Apple Watch tends to say I’ve run a longer distance, at a faster speed, than treadmill. (It’s usually up to 0.5 miles off and 0.5mph off in speed). Anyone experience this? Not sure what to trust but assuming Apple Watch. Thoughts?
