Welcome to the show, everybody.

They say the first guy to ever run a marathon immediately died from exhaustion following the effort.

So, of course, now we all do it for fun.

Wouldn't that do you be surprised to know that?

Today we are talking about training for distance road races as a triathlete.

And I am joined by the top two runners on the Tridot staff.

First up is coach Jeff Raines.

Jeff has a master's of science and exercise physiology

and was a successful D1 collegiate runner.

He's qualified for the Boston Marathon multiple times

and has raced over 120 triathlons

and competitive sprints to full distance Iron Man's.

Jeff has been coaching runners and triathletes since 2009.

Jeff, ready to have a little marathon podcast session here?

I cannot wait to hit the ground running here today, Andrew.

The reoccurring running pun right there.

Never get told.

Yeah, never.
