The Formula for Predicting Your Perfect Marathon Pace (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Predicting your marathon race day pace is one of the trickiest parts of training: go out too conservative and you leave time on the table, go out too aggressive and you blow up in the last 10K. This week, Michael, Alex, and Katelyn break down how to use your lactate threshold pace to dial in a Boston Qualifying goal, plus answer listener questions on half marathon pacing, shoe rotation, bouncing back from injury, and more. We also get into the NFL's first-ever regular season game in Sydney and w
How to Balance Easy Miles & Threshold Training (opens the original)

How to Peak for a Marathon (Our EXACT Peak Weeks) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We're breaking down one of the most-asked-about topics in marathon training: the peak week. Michael and Alex pull back the curtain on what their own peak weeks actually look like (down to the kilometer) and share what they've learned from years of racing (and from picking the brains of elite runners like Eliud Kipchoge and Casey Klinger) about how to build a peak block that makes you stronger, not broken. Plus: the team splits up as Katelyn and Alex head to Sydney to cover the brand-new Sydney M
