In my first "Run Coach Chat" I talked with Tucker Grose from Training With Tucker (find him at @trainingwithtucker on Instagram!) about a wiiiiide range of training topics, including...

-Why the marathon should NOT be the first distance you tackle

-Common mistakes many runners make

-Why qualifying for the Boston Marathon is so challenging (but what might help you get there)

-Planning your training cycles and setting short- & long-term goals

-Who can benefit from working with a running coach

-Tucker's current training for a 100-mile ultramarathon!
