Dino speaks with running coach Ryan Welsh, our endurance coach, to prepare runners for the upcoming marathon season. Ryan shared some advice for those who are training for the races that are just weeks away, now that we are in September.
They discussed the “dos and don’ts” of training, which they stress are especially important to stick with at this point of the training cycle. Ryan emphasizes how important it is to stick with the habits that brought you to this peak moment in the training cycle, such as maintaining recovery days and listening to your body. Ryan and Dino shared their insights as runners and discussed what to expect on race day. Ryan covered everything from footwear to nutrition and stressed having a race weekend itinerary for those traveling into the marathon destinations. Ryan also spoke on the nervousness and anxiety that runners may face as these big marathons approach and emphasized embracing those feelings and appreciating them as “good stress” and provided some other motivating insights.
Ryan also shares about the run club he hosts with his wife in northern New Jersey and the community they have built around running. You can tune in to this week’s episode of the Project Purple Podcast to learn more about training for a marathon or if you’re interested in learning what it takes for our committed runners to run 26.2 miles.
