A new episode of the Marathon Handbook podcast is here—Alex, Katelyn, and Michael kick things off with their race weekend stories before getting into your questions on bridge training (what to do between race blocks), recovery after 40, speed workout structures, and how to become a true student of the sport, all backed up by our very own guides.
We also have a wonderful new feature from writer Mark Lane-Holbert on how to write about your running—whether you journal, blog, or just text your group chat, it's a warm and surprisingly practical read that might change how you think about the miles you're logging.
In the news this week, the IOC President has ruled out direct athlete payments, setting up a significant clash with the track and field world—and on a happier note, Finnish ultrarunner Satu LipiƤinen just broke the women's 6-hour world record in Kokkola, an incredible performance worth celebrating.
Alex, Katelyn, and Michael open with their latest race stories from the weekend—extreme heat, outright wins, PRs, camaraderie, and tradition.
Then they dig into how to keep building fitness between race blocks, Michael and Katelyn get grilled on how recovery really changes after 40, and we offer up some speed workout structures that actually work.
We also get into how to become a true student of the sport—through books, resources, and going beyond the algorithm.
