Our brand-new podcast, For Better or Worse with Alex and Alexis, officially launched on YouTube and on our podcast feeds. Be sure to subscribe now so you don’t miss the first episode and all the chaos, laughs, and honest conversations to come.
We’ve also got some great training content today, including guides on CV workouts, sprint training, whether running every day is actually a good idea, and how to recover better so you can keep training consistently and feeling strong.
And in today’s running news: Adidas may have changed marathon racing again with its new tech, plus, trail running legend Kilian Jornet is officially returning to Western States 14 years after his win.
Hey, everyone.
It’s Alex, popping into your inbox to share our new show and podcast - one that excites and terrifies me in equal measure.
Over the last month, the Marathon Handbook has been recording For Better or for Worse: the show where a beginner runner and an elite runner, who also happen to be engaged, try to survive training, racing, and each other.
I’m excited because we’ve had an absolute blast recording the first few episodes. I’m terrified because that beginner runner is my fiancée, Alexis D’Souza — a relatively new addition to the Marathon Handbook universe who also happens to be exceptionally good at calling me out on all my weird crap.
The podcast follows my pursuit of elite running, Alexis’ journey toward her first race, and our attempt at balancing those goals with the rest of life.
We think it complements our other shows nicely. If our flagship podcast is the meat, and Run Long Run Healthy is the vegetables, then FBOFW is the palate cleanser — a reminder that starting to run can be daunting, chasing goals is thrilling, and living with a runner is silly at best.
The first episode is live today and available on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts.
We hope you enjoy.
