Join us for another episode of Marathon Talk as Chris Ford and Hayden Harbud go deep into the world of marathon running — from the biggest races on the planet to the ones that mean the most at a local level.

In this episode, we break down the Abbott World Marathon Majors, rank iconic events, and share honest, unfiltered experiences from the start line to the final mile. We talk training realities, race-day mistakes, mental battles, and what marathon running actually feels like for everyday runners — not elites.

You’ll hear:

• Honest reviews of major and local marathons
• Event rankings and what makes a marathon truly great
• Training insights that actually work in the real world
• Race-day lessons you only learn the hard way
• The physical and mental reality of running 26.2 miles

Whether you’re chasing a Six Star finish, planning your very first marathon, or simply looking for motivation to lace up and commit to the journey, this episode delivers real stories, practical advice, and genuine marathon inspiration.

🏃‍♂️ No hype. No shortcuts. Just real talk about running marathons.
