265. The Distance Switch: Unlock Marathon Speed by Racing Shorter

Our guest: @ericaweitzruns

In this episode, we explore a counterintuitive but highly effective strategy for marathon runners: intentionally switching your training focus to shorter race distances after completing a marathon. We delve into why this isn't just about recovery, but a powerful way to build speed, improve efficiency, and ultimately become a stronger, more resilient marathoner in the long run. We'll discuss the physiological advantages of training for 5ks, 10ks, and half-marathons, and even touch on how trail running and track workouts can contribute to your overall running development.
