Episode notes
Structure Frees Time, Not Consumes It
- A structured weekly routine can actually free up time even while you run more miles, because runs get scheduled into your day.
- Structure replaces aimless running and reduces overall time wasted deciding when to train.
Alternate Structured And Easy Long Runs
- Alternate your long runs between structured marathon-pace sessions and easy long mileage weeks to build endurance and specific fitness.
- Practice both types so long runs feel purposeful and you avoid always doing unstructured, draining mileage.
Never Try New Things On Race Day
- Avoid trying anything new on race day: practice everything from food to pacing in training.
- Treat unknowns like top failure risk because stomach issues or new gear can ruin a marathon despite solid training.
