Cindy Vink's marathon progression is the dream of nearly all dedicated amateur runners who step up to the 26.2 mile distance. Two years ago she ran her first marathon in 4:36 . A high quality effort, especially when you factor in her lower mileage training. Two years later, in her third marathon, Cindy ran a blistering 3:14 ! In this episode, Cindy details this amazing improvement and everything that went into it.
