#112 - Patrick Martin - 2:24 Marathoner at 42 Years of Age with 3 Years of Running Experience

Sweat Elite Podcast

Patrick Martin ran 2:24 at the most recent London Marathon at the age of 42 with only a little over 3 years of running experience behind him. Patrick was persuaded by work colleagues to race a 10km at age 38 and ran 38 minutes off training every 2nd day for a few weeks. Fast forward to April 2023 and Patrick ran 2:24:31 at the London Marathon without taking any carbohydrates or during the race. In this conversation Patrick talks about how he prepared for his first 10km race, his 2:24 at the London Marathon and everything he's learned along the way.
