What do you do when the weather messes up your runs, or you fall behind in week 3 or 4 of training?

In this episode, John shares how a snowstorm, a cold, and some brutal treadmill miles forced him to adapt his own marathon training plan, and why that flexibility is exactly what most runners over 35 need to succeed.

You’ll learn:

• Why missing a few early runs doesn’t mean you’re off track
• How to adapt your plan without losing progress or confidence
• The psychology of “training guilt” — and how to let it go
• Why there’s no such thing as a perfect plan — but there is such a thing as the right one for you
• How to think long-term and protect your body from injury and burnout

If you’ve had a bit of a wobble in your marathon prep, this episode will give you the permission and the plan to keep going — with clarity and confidence.
