Episode Notes

Dan joins us on the podcast today: a runner who recently improved his marathon from 3:38 to 3:08.

In this conversation, Dan shares what he did to improve by a massive 30 minutes over 26.2 miles. But what if he wants to keep going? What if Dan wants to run another 30 minutes faster and start flirting with a sub-2:40 marathon?

We'll cover what training changes need to happen to break 3 and run a much more competitive marathon finish time.

Thanks to Dan for coming on the podcast and sharing his story!
