In this episode we sit down with Jake, Dan, Alan, Kyle, and John P. to talk about their training going into the Maine and Chicago Marathons and how each race went for each person. Sorry it took so long to edit/get this posted but hope you enjoy nonetheless. 

In this episode we talk with Jake and Ryan about Jakes second marathon of the year Sri Chinmoy in New York. Ryan sits in as Jakes coach throughout his training and talks about the plan he had Jake on. Jake talks strategy and Scott listens to a different training approach than he is used to. Jake ran this marathon as a last chance effort to qualify for the 2020 Boston Marathon after falling short at Bay Of Fundy earlier in the year. Listen in to hear how Jake did. And now on to the episode! 

In this episode we sit down with Ryan and Dave to talk about what their training and goals are going into Last Man Standing, an ultra marathon that happens in Maine on Labor Day weekend. Dave is also my coach so we talk a little about how coaching has gone for me. This is the first podcast where I have done no editing at all so this is the raw cut in hopes to get out more content. Please let me know how this format works or does not work. Hope you enjoy!
