How Much of Marathon Running Is Mental? Let CJ Albertson Explain
Episode 76 of The Mental Game features one of the world’s top marathon runners: CJ Albertson.
Albertson, 31, is fresh off his best marathon performance to date: a scorching time of 2:08:17 at the Chicago Marathon, where he was the top American finisher. He also bested all other U.S. runners at the 2024 Boston Marathon and will look to do so at the upcoming New York City Marathon on November 3.
Albertson’s approach to running is incredibly unique (see: incandescent heat lamps!), and that extends to his mental game. His modes of thinking will intrigue you and may even challenge your own mental process.
Albertson, a native of Fresno, California, balances his training weeks of 100+ miles with his life as a husband and a father of two: Luke and Noelle. He is also a professor and cross country coach at Clovis Community College.
