    As someone getting increasingly into Marathon running, this was a really insightful listen about how to optimise my training and improve my race time. Will definitely give the Run Kaizen app a try now too.

37: Floberg Runs Chicago
Q: What was the turning point that kept Eric in the race after a rough patch?
Even when the back half looked dire, a combination of mental resolve, support from friends on the course, and the realization that there was still a chance to hit a personal best pushed him to continue pushing hard.
40: Training Like You've Never Seen Before
Q: How do you balance providing structure with keeping people from overdoing intensity?
We keep it flexible by setting a weekly training load target and offering options like blank canvas, one long and one hard, or even distribution, then adapt runs day-by-day based on how the week actually unfolds to protect recovery.
