Rory is in Copenhagen for the World Road Running Championships, Jacob is getting ready to open his season at the Cow Harbor 10K, and Vinny Mauri joins the show three weeks out from the Chicago Marathon.
Vinny takes us inside the unconventional training that has taken over Strava, including 45-mile workout days, 140-mile weeks, massive treadmill sessions at Planet Fitness, and 11 long runs over 25 miles. He explains why he’s leaned so heavily into volume, how he’s making the marathon feel “short,” where his confidence comes from heading into Chicago, and how he plans to taper after his biggest training block yet.
Before and after Vinny, Rory and Jacob preview the World Road Running Championships, catch up on their own training and racing, and break down World Ultimate.
Plus, the guys announce an Out & Back live event during Chicago Marathon weekend. Grab your tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/out-back-podcast-with-rory-linkletter-and-jacob-thomson-tickets-2000969887799
