Summary

EPISODE 5! 


In today's episode, I recap my best week of training in the past year and a half. Alex and I then dive into some Listener Qs, followed by a discussion of the intention for the week and more. We also touch on how to save your legs while traveling and other fun subjects. I hope you all enjoy this one as much as we did having it!


About this series: Introducing Project 2:59!


Over the next nine weeks, I will be documenting my preparation and lead-up to the 2023 Columbus Marathon that will take place on October 15.  


This will be my first attempt at the marathon distance, and I have set the ambitious goal of running 2:59 or faster to break the three-hour barrier and qualify for a future edition of The Boston Marathon. 


Coaching me will be Alex Ostberg, a seven-time All-American who holds PRs of 3:58 in the Mile, 7:49 in the 3k, and 13:18 in the 5k. He has a Bachelor's Degree in human biology, a minor in psychology, and a master's in public health. 


I will take you behind the scenes on my training, mindset, and more each week via podcast with Alex. We will dive into the ins and outs of marathon training, seeking to provide you value along the way. 


I will also be documenting the training on social media so you can visually see the training and follow in a more in-depth way than ever before!


You can listen wherever you find your podcasts by searching, "The Running Effect Podcast." If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review! I would also appreciate it if you share it with your friend who you think will benefit from it.
