This episode should be helpful to you if you're training for your first marathon or if you have run a few and are looking to tweak your training. I chatted here with Mike English, who I'd coached when he was in high school, then competed for the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. Mike drifted away from running while establishing his career and his family with his wife Tamber and two young kids. Returning to running, Mike is training for the St. George Marathon in Utah under the tutelage of his college coach, Mark Misch. Mike and I discuss tweaks to his runs, pacing, hydration, nutrition, and other aspects to try to achieve his goals for his maiden marathon. Hopefully you gain a nugget or two from this episode whether you're a novice or have some marathons already under your belt.
