How a pro runner trains for the New York City Marathon

472 days since I last raced a marathon. London Marathon was one to forget and Chicago Marathon I didn't even make the start line... This time I'm doing things differently.

Week one of my New York Marathon build started on a beach in Canada, which is not the most conventional way to begin 16 weeks of marathon training. This is the full week. Every run, every split, every thought. Oh and Daniel's here too

If you want to follow the whole block from week one to New York, hit . We're going to Flagstaff next. Love the grind 🤍
