I have no idea what game I should even attempt to speed run XD but I am interested in trying so any suggestions would be great!

welcome to speedrun.com! as for a video game of your choosing, id recommend choosing a game you are familiar with or enjoy a lot of. you dont have to know glitches to run a game, and you can practically learn the route to any game on this website if there happens to be guides and a discord community behind it.

@SenkoChan I was thinking of running Mario 64 but I'd need to find a rom for it until i can buy a console/copy/capture card

unfortunately speedrun.com disallows the distribution of ROMs, ISOs, WADs, etc on this plateform. however i am sure with some luck and a bit of searching on google or bing you should fine a reliable source for your rom.

my advice for you is to adhere the rules for emulated speedruns, these rules are different among communities. some use different emulators to even rom versions so do some research and make sure everything is good to go.

as for mario 64, while it maybe a popular title, i dont know much regarding their terms so my suggestion would be to join their discord server or forum and ask those sorts of questions there.

cheers!
