Episode Notes

In this episode, I’m talking Cocodona 250 with Allison Powell, where things go from “best half marathon ever” to “walking a corpse to the finish line” in about 200 miles.

We break down everything that went wrong last year, including cold, sleep mistakes, and just generally making questionable decisions for multiple days straight. Then we get into what we’re changing this time around, from pacing early to rethinking sleep and nutrition.

We also solve Cocodona entirely with a new strategy:

sleeping one minute every mile.

Along the way we cover race strategy, fueling, electrolytes, and why going slower early might actually be the smartest move.

If you’re running Cocodona 250, thinking about it, or just want to hear how things can go very wrong over a long distance, this one’s for you.
