21 - The Training Takes Over | Marathon Training, Obsession & Sacrifice
At some point, training stops feeling like a hobby… and starts becoming your entire life.
In Episode 21 of Field Notes from The Proving, I talk about the moment marathon training fully took over — the obsession, sacrifice, structure, and identity shift that happens when chasing a goal starts consuming everything around you.
January in New Jersey was cold, dark, and brutal. But by this point, I had already signed up for my first marathon and knew there was no turning back. I ran another half marathon effort at race pace (1:51:49 / 8:31 pace), intensified training, and started realizing that every decision in life was beginning to revolve around running, recovery, discipline, and proving something to myself.
This episode is about:
This isn’t about perfection.
It’s about proving to yourself that you’re capable of more than you thought possible.
The work continues.
