Hey, fellow runners! In this episode, we're lacing up to tackle some of the most persistent marathon myths that just won't quit. As a running coach, I've heard them all, and today we're setting the record straight.

Are you still clinging to what you think is the norm and it’s holding your training back? We're diving deep into five common "myths" that simply don't deliver when it comes to preparing for 26.2 miles.
