This episode is from my IG Live convo with renowned coach James McKirdy of McKirdy Trained on the exciting upcoming Bakline McKirdy Micro Marathon & 10K on 10/14/23 at Rockland State Park, NY.

The Why: to provide the greatest opportunity for athletes to achieve the Olympic Trials qualifying time and faster.

We discuss: bottle support for all participating marathoners, tangents, pacers, and why this course reported by Runner's World as "the fastest loop in the country" gives runners the best opportunity to earn their place on the Olympic Trials marathon starting line, February 3rd, 2024.

In the second half, we explore the McKirdy Trained origin story—the ethos and DNA that has helped build such a strong and powerful team. Plus, a few athlete success stories.

For anyone still dreaming of earning their OTQ—or looking to gain some valuable McKirdy Trained coaching insights—this episode is for you!

If you enjoy the episode, it would mean the world to me if you would rate the podcast or write a review and share feedback wherever you get your podcast groove on.
