Thinking about running your first marathon – or just want to feel strong and confident while training in your 40s and beyond?

This guide is designed specifically for women over 40 who are ready to take on the challenge of marathon running even as hormones start to shift and recovery takes a little more care than it used to.

Inside you’ll find:

A realistic training plan for busy women over 40

Tips on how to stay strong, motivated, and injury-free

How to adjust your training through perimenopause and hormonal changes

Guidance on fueling, recovery, and what to expect on race day

Encouragement from someone who’s been there – a nurse, coach, and runner herself
