In this episode, I connect with listener Brooke Lubojasky to talk about her big goal of breaking 3 hours in the marathon. She ran her first marathon in over 5 hours but has progressed to a Boston Qualifier since then. Now, she sets her sights on something even bigger. We cover her reasons why, we talk about the mental challenges, and we detail the training adaptations needed to get there. I don't care what your goal is or what "degree of fast" you are, there is something in this episode for everyone!

In this episode, I answer recent questions from listeners as well as themes from athletes that I coach. Today's questions:  How should I evolve paces over time and can I go too slow? What should I do if I have a bad workout or long run? How can I protect myself from dogs on the run? Should I do a 2 or 3 week marathon taper (or 1 or 2 week half marathon taper)? Is your training too easy (or too hard)??  To redeem the offer from this episode's sponsor, use the code ROGUE for 10% off on running apparel at Janji.com.

James Dodds and I had a little bit of fun with this episode, and we hope you enjoy it. We riff on 6 topics that have been the object of our recent coaching curiosities or ruminations. The topics range from the limits of easy aerobic volume to maxing out in-run carbs and to the science (and potentially hocus pocus) of advanced recovery techniques (and more).
