All Things Running Jacob Montgomery

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:

Juris Silenieks is a very knowledgeable coach in the running space who recently secured the position of Robert Morris University Assistant Coach. In this episode, Juris and I discuss various training methodologies (e.g., energy systems), coaching philosophy, workouts (both basic and complex), coaching at the individual AND team levels, and more. We also break down three different professional athletes' training styles from that of Jakob Ingebrigtsen, Eliud Kipchoge, and CJ Albertson. Listen in if you want to hear Juris' unique perspective on these topics!

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.

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...

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.

About three weeks back, Matt Fox raced at the Berlin Marathon. Although it was not the race he wanted due to the onset of hamstring issues as early as 10 kilometers in, he was still able to come away with a time of 2:24:37. However, we all know that he has a sub 2:20 in him without a doubt!!! He now has his eyes set on the Seville Marathon on February 19, 2023, and will be gunning for the elusive sub 2:20.

Today, we talk about his race, his outlook for the future, his coaching for Best Athletics, and more about his company, Sweat Elite. If you haven't listened to the last chat I had with Matt, I'd recommend listening to that one first: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5EIwnln4LATXC4Hicjrf0B?si=5d913074a0d743e5.
