Hal Higdon, 1964 Boston Marathon 5th Place Finisher, 2:21:55 Marathoner, & World Masters Championships M40 record holder in 1975 of 9:18.6 in the steeplechase Joins Me For A Chat On Everything You Need To Know To Prepare For The Marathon! You might've heard about his world-renowned book: Marathon: The Ultimate Training Guide. Fun fact: It was the first book I ever bought when I picked up the sport of running. Hal joins me for a conversation where we discuss everything from his takeaways and learnings from failing to finish his first three marathons, what we learned along the way, how he has paid his knowledge and wisdom forward to generations of runners, including his son, who qualified for the OTQ marathon with a time of 2 hours 18 minutes. We discuss training strategies for the marathon distance, and how to not psych yourself out at the starting line to set yourself up for success in your training journey, in and outside of your race.
