I tried doing training the boring way and it worked without making it complicated

The detail that surprised me was how much the train station changed the outcome. Same plan, different setting, completely different energy.

I started this because my weekend felt a little stuck, and marathon seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.

I tried this in Kuala Lumpur with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.
