Chasing Three Hours

50. Eugene Marathon Recap (Feat. David McCon)


Listen Later

Welcome to Chasing Three Hours, a podcast about what runners are chasing, why they keep pushing themselves, and what keeps them curious! On this episode of the podcast, David McCon, who was previously on the podcast to discuss his own running journey, joined Josh to recap the 2024 Eugene Marathon! Then they discuss:

  • Getting off to an "inauspicious start" in Eugene (5:05)
  • How the awkward start to the race played out in the early miles (10:52)
  • How marking "laps" helped Josh keep track of time and pace during the race (14:19)
  • Oreos as fuel (19:44)
  • Did Josh "run with belief" in Eugene? (24:35)
  • The finish line (41:47)
  • Living in this moment for as long as possible but also, what's next? (51:12)

And a whole lot more!
