Welcome to Week 3 of my BQ or Bust journey as I train for the 2024 Chicago Marathon with one big goal: qualifying for the Boston Marathon.

20 Jahre hat es gedauert bis sich Schmidti wieder einem Bahnwettkampf gestellt hat. Und wie! Wir gratulieren unserem „Golden Boy“ - zugegeben mit der ein oder anderen Falte im Gesicht, aber immer noch pfeilschnell. Es war ein wackeliger Weg zum Nordrhein-Meistertitel! Und wir gehen heute ins Detail: Hendrik hat seine ersten beiden Wochen der Herbstmarathonvorbereitung in den Beinen. Und die hatten es in sich! Dies schauen wir uns genauer an. Alles dazu und noch viel mehr in dieser Folge #1rennt1hinterher ✌

Luke Grenfell-Shaw is a remarkable endurance athlete, and cancer advocate whose story reads like a masterclass in resilience. Diagnosed with stage 4 sarcoma at just 24, he refused to let the label “incurable” define him. Instead, he coined the term “CanLiver”.He's cycled 30,000 km from Bristol to Beijing on a tandem bike, inviting hundreds of others, including fellow CanLivers, to join him along the way. He's since become a professional trail runner for Brooks, and he casually ran an 80-minute half marathon during chemotherapy.https://www.alifeintandemfilm.com/https://www.instagram.com/lukegshaw/ XMILES UK - Listeners now receive 10% of their order value back as store credit via the link below.https://xmiles.avln.me/c/RiwxnARvfHeRRunderwear - Use code TEATRAILS15 for 15% off your orderhttps://runderwear.avln.me/c/GPVNMgMfYfLPSHOKZ - Use code TEA102025 to receive £10 off.https://uk.shokz.com?sca_ref=7394994.MfsDQZBAeLQihiPrecision Fuel & Hydration https://visit.pfandh.com/3GKxHjUPrecision Fuel & Hydration Planner https://visit.pfandh.com/3RuP25zHarrier - Use code TEA10 for 10% off. https://harrierrunfree.co.uk/Fenixlight Limited - Use code T&T5 for 5% off your order.https://www.fenixlight.co.uk/Protein Rebel - Use code Tea15 for 15% off your first order. https://proteinrebel.com/Centurion Running - Use code TEAANDTRAILS10 to receive 10% off *Excluding Sale Items.https://centurionrunning.com/GOODR - Use code GOTEAANDTRAILS to reveive 10% off your order.https://goodr.avln.me/c/VLEmsAIZCDtmLIFE JACKET SKIN PROTECTION - Use code GOTYOURBACK for 10% off your first order.https://lifejacketskin.com/PRIMUS UK - Use code TT-PRIMUS-20 for 20& off.https://primusuk.avln.me/c/kBWmOJaEiByDContent may contain affiliate links which can help support and grow this channel at no extra cost to you.

Become a member of Healthy Runner Academy here! Tired of stretching, foam rolling, or buying new shoes — only to still end up injured? In this episode, Dr. Duane Scotti pulls back the curtain on the real system that helps adult runners stay strong, consistent, and injury-free. You'll learn the exact 5-stage framework used inside the Healthy Runner Program to prevent injuries before they start — so you can train smarter, avoid setbacks, and hit your race goals with confidence. Whether you're starting fresh, bouncing back from an injury, or chasing a new PR… this system works because it evolves with you.

Pretty much every runner deals with injury setbacks. The silver lining is that the recovery process can teach many important lessons. Coach Andie Cozzarelli joins us on the show to chat about her own injury setbacks and what you can learn from the recovery process. This is a special episode because after 13 amazing years, this will be the last episode of Run to the Top.

This week's show brought to you by: Ketone-IQ You may have read a lot the last few years about the benefits of ketones for endurance performance, such as mitochondrial efficiency and glycogen sparing. Your body uses ketones for energy typically during fasting, long periods of exercise, or when you don't have as many carbohydrates. The problem is that you typically need to severely reduce your carbohydrate intake in order to take advantage of them, which is difficult to sustain, even for the most dedicated runner. But, thanks to Ketone-IQ you quickly deliver ketones to your bloodstream, putting you into ketosis within minutes without the need to fast, restrict calories or carbs, or exercise away your glycogen stores. And the academic literature on the effectiveness of ketones for running performance is overwhelming.  For example, a 2021 study demonstrated that the ingestion of ketones improved mitochondrial efficiency by 7% and 2019 study concluded that using ketones significantly enhanced endurance performance while minimizing overtraining. If you want to see more of the research, head to ketone.com/RTTT Plus, for a limited time you can save 30% off your first subscription order & receive a free six pack of Ketone-IQ by going ketone.com/RTTT. That's K-E-T-O-N-E dot com slash RTTT. MAS NAD+ for Runners Did you know that by Age 40, your NAD+ levels can be half of what they were at 20? And they only go downhill from there. This is important because lower NAD+ levels have been shown in research to impact some of the hallmarks of aging such as reduced muscle strength, lower mitochondrial performance and overall energy. But, just because NAD+ levels decline with age doesn't mean you have to accept it. NAD+ from MAS Edge is a groundbreaking formula that can increase your NAD+ levels by 67%. Their unique formula enhances absorption by 71% and increases uptake and utilization in the body by 167% compared to generic NAD+ supplements. This means you can slow muscle loss, improve recovery, increase your energy levels, and fight aging at the cellular level. You can check out the results yourself at masedge.com/nad. Plus, runnersconnect fans will automatically save 20% on any purchase. If you're ready to fight all the typical signs of aging and feel a decade younger, this is no-brainer.

The race has been run! Take a journey through how it went with Adam as he recalls not just the race itself, but the full weekend. A 2:41:xx for 4th place Masters 40-45 with a wild ride and tough finish, but of course the PEOPLE were front and center over any PERFORMANCE.

It's race week!!! We have a few tips for the taper, training during race week, and also getting the mind right. There is something about taper time that's easier AND harder at the same time. It's getting down to go time and we want to dot the I's and cross the T's ... physically and mentally!

This week, we plummeted to new depths and somehow, Glory Holes ended up in the show. Don't ask. We move swiftly on (with some emotional scarring) to the real meat of the episode: fuelling your ultra without, breaking hearts, not wind, and how Gary's Garmin cost him precious minutes.We also crown the worst checkpoint food of all time.

In this episode of the Movement Logic Podcast, Laurel shares six universal takeaways from training for and running her first marathon—and how they apply to any long term, challenging, exercise-related goal. Whether your goal is to build strength, increase stamina, or just feel more capable in your daily life, this episode explores fundamental training principles, helpful mindset coaching, and empowering tips to help you reach a long-term, physically demanding goal.Rather than focusing on the details of marathon training, Laurel distills what she learned about goal-setting, accountability, program design, recovery, and the fatigue that can sometimes hide progress. She also calls out the overwhelming and often contradictory fitness advice targeted at women, especially during perimenopause and menopause, and urges a more individualized and practical approach to training.Sign up for our Bone Density Mini Course: Barbell 101!Follow us on Instagram @movementlogictutorials00:58 Why I trained for a marathon and what I learned04:17 Takeaway #1: Have a realistic, measurable goal13:34 Takeaway #2: Programming is a hypothesis21:05 Takeaway #3: Accountability helps you follow through27:50 Takeaway #4: Fatigue can mask your progress35:45 Takeaway #5: Recovery reveals your fitness42:00 Takeaway #6: Strength supports everythingRESOURCESEpisode 9: What Are the Best Exercises for Strength?Episode 85: Inbetweenie - Boosting Recovery: What Really WorksEpisode 70: Inbetweenie - Do you need a deload week?Episode 90: Capacities for Longevity Part 1: StrengthEpisode 94: Capacities for Longevity Part 2: PowerEpisode 98: Capacities for Longevity Part 3: Cardio

Joe Barrs recently, one of the first-ever finishers of the grueling 293-mile Montane Arctic Spine Race, a brutal ultramarathon across Sweden's Kungsleden Trail, where temperatures can plummet to -40°C and competitors haul their supplies on sleds.A seasoned adventurer and former Royal Marines Commando, Joe was drawn to the race by the camaraderie of the Spine Race community. He completed the course in eight days, 15 hours, and 19 minutes, tying for second place with fellow racer Ulf Nore. His background includes winter ultramarathons, Alpine skiing, and mountaineering, so he's no stranger to extreme endurance.Pic Credits - @willbaldlygo & @trail_bearXMILES UK - Listeners now receive 10% of their order value back as store credit via the link below.https://xmiles.avln.me/c/RiwxnARvfHeRRunderwear - Use code TEATRAILS15 for 15% off your orderhttps://runderwear.avln.me/c/GPVNMgMfYfLPSHOKZ - Use code TEA102025 to receive £10 off.https://uk.shokz.com?sca_ref=7394994.MfsDQZBAeLQihiPrecision Fuel & Hydration https://visit.pfandh.com/3GKxHjUPrecision Fuel & Hydration Planner https://visit.pfandh.com/3RuP25zHarrier - Use code TEA10 for 10% off. https://harrierrunfree.co.uk/Fenixlight Limited - Use code T&T5 for 5% off your order.https://www.fenixlight.co.uk/Protein Rebel - Use code Tea15 for 15% off your first order. https://proteinrebel.com/Centurion Running - Use code TEAANDTRAILS10 to receive 10% off *Excluding Sale Items.https://centurionrunning.com/GOODR - Use code GOTEAANDTRAILS to reveive 10% off your order.https://goodr.avln.me/c/VLEmsAIZCDtmLIFE JACKET SKIN PROTECTION - Use code GOTYOURBACK for 10% off your first order.https://lifejacketskin.com/PRIMUS UK - Use code TT-PRIMUS-20 for 20& off.https://primusuk.avln.me/c/kBWmOJaEiByDContent may contain affiliate links which can help support and grow this channel at no extra cost to you.

. Best workouts to improve at the marathon distanceWhether you're a seasoned runner or just starting your marathon journey, these workouts will enhance your endurance, speed, and overall race strategy. First up, the cornerstone of marathon training: the long run. This workout is crucial for building endurance and mimicking race day conditions.Tips for Effective Long Runs:Frequency: Aim for one long run per week, gradually increasing the distance. Start with distances you're comfortable with and add about 10% each week.Pacing: Keep the pace comfortable—around 30 to 90 seconds slower than your goal marathon pace.Nutrition: Experiment with fueling strategies during your long runs to find out what works for you.Next, we have tempo runs, an essential workout for improving your lactate threshold, which is critical for longer races like the marathon.How to Execute a Tempo Run:Warm-Up: Start with a 10-15 minute easy jog to get your legs warmed up.Tempo Pace: Then, increase to a challenging pace that you can maintain for 20-40 minutes—usually around 10-20 seconds per mile slower than your 10K pace.Cooldown: Finish with a 10-15 minute easy jog to cool down.Now, let's talk about interval training, which is fantastic for building speed and adding variety to your workouts.Recommended Interval Workout:Warm-Up: Begin with a gentle jog for 10-15 minutes.Intervals: Choose a distance around 400m or 800m. Run the interval at a pace you could hold for a 5K, and then rest for an equal amount of time.Reps: Aim for 4 to 8 repeats based on your fitness level.Cooldown: Finish with a light jog or walk for about 10 minutes.Interval training not only improves your speed but also builds mental toughness. While it might seem counterintuitive, recovery runs are just as vital for improving at the marathon distance. These are slower-paced runs aimed at helping you recover while still logging miles.Key Points for Recovery Runs:Pacing: Keep them at a conversational pace, generally 1-2 minutes slower than your marathon pace.Duration: These runs can range from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on your weekly mileage and how you feel.If you enjoyed today's episode, don't forget to subscribe, rate, and share! Join us next week when we discuss nutrition strategies to fuel your marathon training. Happy running, and remember, every mile counts!

What are the essential NON-running elements to the marathon? Today we'll tackle a handful of tips that are a bit more personal, but can have guidelines that are helpful. Everyday nutrtion, race day nutrition, and gear / shoes are the topics at hand before we race NEXT WEEK! The bottom line ... see what works for you and practice!

This week's show brought to you by: Ketone-IQ You may have read a lot the last few years about the benefits of ketones for endurance performance, such as mitochondrial efficiency and glycogen sparing. Your body uses ketones for energy typically during fasting, long periods of exercise, or when you don't have as many carbohydrates. The problem is that you typically need to severely reduce your carbohydrate intake in order to take advantage of them, which is difficult to sustain, even for the most dedicated runner. But, thanks to Ketone-IQ you quickly deliver ketones to your bloodstream, putting you into ketosis within minutes without the need to fast, restrict calories or carbs, or exercise away your glycogen stores. And the academic literature on the effectiveness of ketones for running performance is overwhelming.  For example, a 2021 study demonstrated that the ingestion of ketones improved mitochondrial efficiency by 7% and 2019 study concluded that using ketones significantly enhanced endurance performance while minimizing overtraining. If you want to see more of the research, head to ketone.com/RTTT Plus, for a limited time you can save 30% off your first subscription order & receive a free six pack of Ketone-IQ by going ketone.com/RTTT.

But, just because NAD+ levels decline with age doesn't mean you have to accept it. NAD+ from MAS Edge is a groundbreaking formula that can increase your NAD+ levels by 67%. Their unique formula enhances absorption by 71% and increases uptake and utilization in the body by 167% compared to generic NAD+ supplements. This means you can slow muscle loss, improve recovery, increase your energy levels, and fight aging at the cellular level. You can check out the results yourself at masedge.com/nad.

We are so thrilled to welcome Sari Winick, a seasoned masters marathoner and triathlete, to the podcast, who shares how she balanced a breast cancer diagnosis with training for the 2025 London Marathon. Sari, 53, has been working with us for several years. After achieving consecutive marathon PRs and slowly chipping away at her time to get closer and closer to a BQ with a PR exactly a year ago, we knew she would get there and looked forward to coaching her to prepare for the London Marathon In 2025.Then, just after completing her fall training cycle, Sari was diagnosed with breast cancer during a routine screening. Just two days after her double mastectomy, Sari, spoken like a true runner, reached out to us and said, “I'm still planning on running the TCS London Marathon. All of my doctors said it was possible. It won't be a PR but hopefully a great goal at the end of this process.”In this episode, Sari shares how she navigated surgery, chemo, and marathon training to achieve her goal-spoiled alert-she crossed the London finish line in 4:59.We are so grateful to Sari for sharing her inspiring story!
