I am looking for marathon training accountability for beginners in California. I just signed up for my first race in San Francisco and I am terrified of the training volume. I need some fellow novices to talk through the long runs and the inevitable shin splints.

Even if we are not in the same city, it would be great to sync our training schedules. I am following a Hal Higdon novice plan and I am currently in week three.

Is anyone else aiming for a late 2026 marathon? I find that having people to vent to about the early morning runs makes a huge difference. Let us share our Strava links and keep each other moving!
