If rep one always feels like your hardest rep, your warm-up failed before the session started. Most runners jog a couple of easy miles, stop, then wonder why they don't arrive until rep three.

The Pace Trap: the reason your marathon paces fall apart the moment it gets hot — and it isn't the reason you think. If you're chasing sub-3 or sub-3:30 and your summer paces have slipped, you've probably decided you're losing fitness. You're not. Here's what the heat is actually doing to your watch, why the number is lying, and the one thing to anchor to instead. In...

An 18:30 5K should mean a comfortable sub-3 marathon. Every race-time calculator is certain of it. So why do so many fast 5K runners keep missing sub-3 — while runners who can't break 19:30 run it every single time? This video shows you what your 5K actually measures, why the marathon rewards something completely different, and the one change to your Saturday that builds more marathon fitness...

Your VO2max session and your threshold session can be the exact same workout — 8×1K off short rest. What decides which one you actually get is how you run it. Most committed marathoners are training one when they think they're training the other — and it shows up in the back half on race day. Here's the dial, how to build it, and the one question that matters more than reps or pace: what...

You don't need to repeat harder sessions. You need to repeat the boring ones. If you're a serious marathoner who keeps adding the next big workout and still plateauing — this is why. Here's the simple week that built every result I've ever coached, repeated for months. 📞 Ready to have a real marathon breakthrough?

A sub-90 half marathon isn't won on your hard days or your easy days — it's won in the middle, at threshold, the work most runners skip. If you're running 1:32–1:50 for the half now and want to break 90 (and one day break 3 hours), you're probably training in two speeds. Here are the two sessions that fix it, why sub-90 shows up as a byproduct of sub-3 marathon training, and th...

Are you ready to run a sub-3 marathon? Before you commit to a sub-3 training block, there are two numbers that tell you you're ready — not nearly ready, ready. The first: a solo 10K time trial in 40 minutes. The second: holding 4:00/km (6:26 per mile) for a full hour — a 15K in 60 minutes, or a 10-mile race in about 64. I break down the exact sessions to build both, why I coach to effort inst...

Same heart rate. Two minutes a mile faster. Twenty-two weeks apart. This is what a real marathon training breakthrough looks like when you stop chasing paces and start training the engine. If your watch keeps showing you the same paces no matter how hard your heart is working — this marathon training breakthrough is for you. 📞 Serious about a real breakthrough?

The 2-hour marathon barrier has been broken in a real race — but what actually changed? In this video, I break down what really happened when two men went under 2 hours at the London Marathon, why this moment is so important, and what it reveals about marathon racing, fatigue, competition, and human limits. This was not just about fitness, shoes, or pacing technology. It was about what happens whe...
