From Half a Block to Half a Marathon – How I Trained for My First 13.1 Miles and the Gear I Used

When covid-19 shut down gyms around the world, I knew that I would have to implement some creativity in order to move the gym to my house and stay socially distanced. In the first few weeks of the pandemic, I tried a lot – I used water jugs as makeshift dumbbells, tried every body weight workout I could find online, and even dug out our old elliptical from the garage. None of these workout solutions brought me the same excitement that gearing up and leaving my house for the gym did. I needed something that would get me out of the house, was some form of exercise, and would keep me active. 

A little backstory about myself, I have never been a big fan of running. Throughout high school, running was usually a form of conditioning or punishment in one of the other sports I played, so I was never too fond of running for fun or as my primary sport. But when gyms shut down around the world last year and riding my bike started getting old, I thought that I would give running a second chance. 

At first, my runs were pretty short and very hard. One or two miles, two or three times a week, was all that I was capable of. After a few weeks of struggling with the low number of miles that I was doing and finally finding a running plan on the internet tailored to my running abilities, I slowly but surely began building my endurance. 1 mile became 2, 2 became 3, 3 became 4, and so on and so forth.
