This week on the Dirt and Vert Podcast, we are talking about the long game. We sit down with Dusty Jameson to discuss his incredible decade-long pursuit of the "Holy Grail" for many marathoners: the sub-3 hour finish.
Dusty wasn't a natural-born runner—in fact, he started out hating it. He takes us through the evolution from a reluctant runner to an elite performer, sharing the raw reality of the injuries that sidelined him and the mental resilience it took to keep coming back. We break down the specific race strategies, pacing discipline, and injury prevention protocols he used to finally break the 3-hour barrier.
