Marathon Handbook Podcast

Alex Cyr, Katelyn Tocci and Michael Doyle talk about Wahoo's forthcoming "Kickr Run" treadmill, with legitimately might be the best piece of running tech since the super shoe. They also chat about boutique brand Tracksmith's $700 analog watch (which is already sold out), and another crazy innovation by the Swiss brand On Running (spoiler alert: robots can now make super shoes in under six minutes, with nothing more than a glue gun).

Then, they share their favorite workouts, the weirdest workouts they've ever done, the neatest locations they've run one, and the workouts they fear most.

Hosts: Alex Cyr, Katelyn Tocci, Michael Doyle

Marathon Handbook was founded in 2016, with the mission from day one of helping you to run far, set goals and meet them. We provide free and super popular coach-vetted training plans for just about every distance and ability level, from your first 5K to a sub-3 hour marathon, to a 100-miler training plan. We've got you covered. We also follow the latest news and storylines in the running world, and review all the best shoes, running watches and gear on our site and our Youtube channel.

At our heart, we are runners and athletes ourselves – every person on our team is a running coach, distance runner, or certified health and fitness trainer.

Our editors Alex Cyr, Katelyn Tocci and Michael Doyle discuss the ultra GOAT Courtney Dauwalter's return to the Hard Rock 100, one of the toughest races in the world. Katelyn explains why Dauwalter has emerged as one of the greatest distance athletes of all time, and puts her performances in context. 

Then, they talk about Alex's foray into the world of indie brands launching shoes, including Rabbit, Tracksmith and Mount to Coast. Are these shoes any good?

Finally, they have a roundtable chat about when you should consider getting a running coach, how to select the right coach for you, what it should cost you, and even how to break up with a coach if it's not working out.

In this week's episode, Alex, Katelyn and Michael discuss why it is that the Boston Marathon decided to (literally) give the unicorn on their logo a face lift. Then, they unpack the brief history of the running influencer — how it all started, some of the influential figures in the space, the pro athlete as influencer, and where this all goes from here. Finally, they break down how to approach eating pre run or race, as well as some terrible mistakes each has made in the past with food before running.

Editors Alex Cyr, Katelyn Tocci and Michael Doyle break down every aspect of how a successful marathon training plan is built, including:

• Ideal length of a marathon training plan 
• Macrocycle vs mesocycles, what are they?
• Our favorite workouts
• Training methods (Heart rate/pace training / RPE training)
• Long runs: how long should they be and how many should you do
• How to choose the correct training plan
• How to pick a coach

Hosts: Alex Cyr, Katelyn Tocci, Michael Doyle

Our news editor Jessy Carveth joins Michael Doyle to discuss how a recreational runner duped a major news outlet (and donors on GoFundMe) into thinking she will be representing the U.S. at this summer's Olympic Games (00:00:46). Then, they debate whether or not Canadian standout Michael Roth should have been DQed for an "unsportsmanlike" gesture when he won a NCAA conference championship race (00:10:59). They also provide details for "Sprint," the Netflix's upcoming docuseries on track athletes, and talk about if it will propel athletics as "Drive To Survive" did Formula One (00:21:11). And finally, they get into the Paris Games' "anti-sex bed" fiasco (00:38:15).
