“I want to run a marathon, any tips” What am I really asking here? Is it the “how” of running technique, nutrition and program design?

“What do I do?” I remember asking my Dad this question when we were really little and would go along to help him out with his work. Usually, it was a way of being cheeky because we could see he saw us getting in the way or playing around… “Take a look around!” he’d say....
For sure there’s value in introspective practices such as meditation, or journalling. And, we’d be amiss to not look at the other side.
