This is my 5th attempt to run a marathon under 2 hours and 30 minutes.
The goal? 2:29:59 or bust.
Over the next few months, I’ll be documenting every step of this training block — workouts, long runs, setbacks, and breakthroughs — as I chase one of the hardest amateur running milestones out there: the sub-2:30 marathon.
In this episode, I’m breaking down:
What I’ve learned from the past 4 attempts
My current fitness & starting point
What’s going to be different this time around
Whether you’re a marathoner chasing your own PR, or just here to follow the grind, I appreciate you being here. Let’s chase it down — one mile at a time.
