#128: 2:44 marathoner and coach Andrew McCrea on big marathon breakthroughs, the Puma Project3 and pacing


Listen Later

Today's guest  Andrew McCrea ran his marathon best of 2:44 at this year’s scorching London marathon as part of the Puma Project3 group.



We talk about his progression in the marathon from a debut of 4 hours to consistently breaking 3 and also what it was like to be treated like an elite by Puma as part of their Project3 group.



He has paced the Belfast marathon twice and we talk about how the mindset and experience is slightly different when helping others.



Andrew is also a qualified running coach and you can find out more about him and his business as ‘The Grow Running Coach’ at his website and instagram:
