Description: It's almost time for running season. Are you ready? This week's episode of The 5 AM Miracle features a thorough discussion on how to train for your first big race, from a 5K all the way up to a full marathon.

I have run about a dozen marathons and few ultramarathons in the last few years. Every race has taught me a little more about what it means to train well for a race and what it means to screw up badly.

Predictably, I almost always realize I didn't trained enough and I didn't train properly. So, today I'm sharing 5 Do's and 5 Don'ts on how to prepare for your first big race.

Tip of the Week
