    Steve Jordan | Sub-Elite Marathoner and Pilot

    In this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with an inspiring athlete by the name of Steve Jordan who balances sub-elite marathon training with piloting. Steve recently ran a 2:23:59 at the Philadelphia Marathon in late November, a personal best for him but by no means an indication of his true potential. We dive into his marathon training block, how he manages 100+ mile weeks of intense training while piloting between the east and west coasts of America, and much more. ============================  You can find and/or reach Steve on Strava via this link: https://www.strava.com/athletes/87631257?oq=steve. ============================  If you're looking to improve upon your personal bests from the mile up to the marathon, reach out to me through my Instagram.

    Matt Fox | Two Sub 2:20 Marathons Within a One Month Span

    In this episode, I sit down with Matt Fox, founder of Sweat Elite, to dive into his recent training journey, including his impressive back-to-back sub-2:20 marathons in Chicago and Indianapolis. Matt opens up about the key factors behind his improvements, like finally having a stable home base in Chicago, dialing in on his diet, and committing to a dedicated speed block. We discuss Matt's changing perspective on the role of speed work in marathon training, the ongoing challenges of race-day cramping, the nuances of training at different intensities, and how small adjustments in lifestyle have had a big impact on his results. Tune in for an insightful conversation that reveals the mindset and strategies of a sub-elite runner continually pushing his limits, packed with practical takeaways for athletes of all levels.

    Paul Mackinnon | Running Biomechanics Expert for Both Pros and Mere Mortals Alike

    Paul Mackinnon is an expert running biomechanics coach based in Melbourne, Australia, who has helped many runners improve their form to unlock better performances. Paul has worked with some of the top athletes in the game, including members of the Bowerman Track Club, Olympian Galen Rupp, and countless runners through his Balanced Runner online program. I’ve personally been working with Paul for the last half a year or so, and the improvements have been tremendous; I feel like a completely new runner. Paul’s unique approach, which he developed over years of studying movement patterns, emphasizes a top-down perspective on biomechanics, addressing posture and arm swing to influence everything below. In this chat, Paul and I dive into the nitty-gritty of biomechanics. We discuss common biomechanical issues that many runners face and how even small tweaks—like adjusting your arm swing—can make a huge difference in running economy and performance. We also dig into some hot topics in the running world, including the impact of "super shoes" on biomechanics and how the field of biomechanics is gaining momentum as an essential part of reaching peak performance. Toward the end, Paul shares practical tips for runners who want to understand and improve their own biomechanics. For anyone interested in taking their running to the next level, this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss. Paul’s expertise offers a fresh look at biomechanics as a powerful tool for enhancing efficiency and preventing injury.

  4. Patrick Lister | 3:11:42 for Sixth Overall at the 2023 Gettysburg Marathon (COACHING CALL)

    Patrick Lister | 3:11:42 for Sixth Overall at the 2023 Gettysburg Marathon (COACHING CALL)

    Back when I lived in York, PA, Patrick was my physical therapist on several occasions, helping me to bounce back from persistent knee issues. After talking about his goals in the marathon, performance stagnation, and the fact that he’d never done a tempo/threshold workout, I knew that he could drastically improve. So, I offered to coach him. Luckily for me, Patrick took me up on my offer. His first marathon build went well, but the race didn’t go as planned due to unforeseen (crippling) GI issues, finishing the 2022 Pocono Mountains Marathon Race Festival in 3:18:52 for third place overall (still a PR, though!). You can hear our conversation on that buildup and race here. However, a baller man such as Patrick doesn’t get discouraged for long; within a day or two of the race, he was hungry for more. We both knew he had much more in him. Next thing you know, it was April 30, 2023, and Patrick was crossing the finish line of the Gettysburg Marathon in 3:11:42 for sixth overall. This was over a 7-minute PR! Enjoy our conversation… ============================  For those curious, here are his training plans for both marathons: 2022 Pocono Mountains Marathon Race Festival: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AWshZVvVL1Yq1VuhBuydj1RY43HYz8352GoxTDTp_dw/edit?usp=sharing 2023 Gettysburg North-South Marathon: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wGpkXvfIBsSeqjFnlZo62SIornl0Pd4argSnokOac2c/edit?usp=sharing ============================  Support Patrick on...  STRAVA: https://www.strava.com/athletes/41580846?oq=Patrick%20Lister ============================  If you're looking to improve upon your personal bests from the mile up to the marathon, reach out to me through my Instagram.

    Dr. Lisa DPT | Physical Therapist for Runners and Instagram Superstar

    Dr. Lisa (DPT) is a physical therapist who has helped over 1200 PEOPLE in her time as a physical therapist, largely through her website. Her website offers five different programs to cover all the bases as well as personalized coaching, a free movement screening, and a one-hour consultation. Recently--and by recently I mean literally within the last week or so--these programs have been consolidated under a new membership program where you can gain access to ALL of her programs and services. Many of you may know Lisa by her Instagram, given she has a following of over 106,000 people!!! Her Instagram page covers anything and everything PT-related, including mobility, strength, form, and even nutrition to some degree. I myself have become a huge fan of her and the content she produces on her Instagram so all of you should check her out.  In this chat, we talk about all things PT as they relate to running, discussing common misconceptions, the common injuries runners face, top-tier (and bottom-tier) strength exercises (sorry clamshells), the highs and lows of being a PT, and much more.  Support Lisa on...

  7. Patrick Lister | Marathoner, Physical Therapist, and Past Competitive Bodybuilder (COACHING CALL)

    Patrick Lister | Marathoner, Physical Therapist, and Past Competitive Bodybuilder (COACHING CALL)

    Patrick Lister is a physical therapist, based out of central PA, who helped me get back from a couple of injuries during my time on the University of Pittsburgh's club running team. Lucky for me, Patrick was looking for more structured training after having missed his goal of running under 3:15 for a couple of years, and next thing you know I was coaching him for the Pocono Mountains Marathon on 10/15/22. In his build-up, I introduced him to a lot of new stimuli, including threshold runs which he had never done before! He came away with TWO nice PRs from the block, including a 1:29:20 at the Harrisburg Half Marathon followed by a 3:18:53 at the Pocono Mountains Marathon, both of which were PRs by over a MINUTE! Mind you, we both know he has a LOT more in him at both distances, having been under the weather for his half marathon and experiencing nasty cramps in his marathon. Interestingly enough, Patrick was a BODYBUILDER, weighing in at 230 POUNDS during his peak year in the sport; absolutely INSANE!!! He shared some really interesting stories about his bodybuilding years, so you GOTTA stick around until the end. There's a gem of a story in there that you HAVE to hear... Support Patrick on...

    Ethan Hermann | 4:08 Miler / 1:06:47 Half Marathoner and Naimoli Ninja

    Ethan Hermann was an athlete for Philly Runner Track Club (PRTC) over the last several years while studying at Drexel University. Ethan was always a solid runner dating back to his time as a high school athlete, but in more recent years, he has taken his running to the next level after being picked up by coach Chris Naimoli, dropping four HUGE personal bests in 2021... 14:28.41 5k @ the Trials of Miles - May 15, 2021 4:08.97 mile @ the John Hay Distance Festival (6th overall) - June 4, 2021 50:27 10-mile @ the Philadelphia Broad Street 10-Miler - Oct 10, 2021 1:06:47 half marathon @ the Philadelphia Half Marathon (8th OVERALL!) - Nov 20, 2021 Yeah... the man went OFF!!! Maybe it's the magic of being a Naimoli Ninja, but who knows??? Or, perhaps it's just building consistency block after block with no gimmicks?? Nahhhhh, it couldn't be that. Impossible!!! Currently, he is training out of Cardiff, Wales, under a local club with the goal of building a big base so he can be ready to crush it in 2023.
