    Alex Harvey - Progression Skepticism, Training Evolution & Marathon Goals

    In this detailed conversation, Alex Harvey discusses his recent impressive half marathon in Japan, the skepticism around his progression, and his transparent use of Strava to share his full training. Alex breaks down his early marathon times and steady improvement through consistent training. He covers marathon challenges (fueling and getting intensity right), how business and family life fits around training, and his aspirations heading into Tokyo Marathon. He also shares why racing without a strict time goal can be valuable, plus how context-specific training has helped him progress. We also get into his preference for training alone, keeping training efficient, and his approach to diet - along with why he largely avoids strength training and cross training.
