The Secret To A FAST Marathon (and it's not more mileage)
Description
Summary
One of my favorite episodes to date.
Hybrid athlete Alec Blenis is a competitive marathoner with the physique of a body builder. He is proficient across many training modalities- Crossfit, ultra marathons, and olympic lifting, just to name a few.
In this episode, I had the honor to pick his brain on workout quality over volume for the marathon, weekly mileage, the benefits of cross training and incline treadmill work, the BEST sessions to do to PR your next half or full marathon, and what REAL movement quality means.
