How to Achieve a Breakthrough: Jason Coach's RUNegade's Host to a Sub-4 Marathon

Todd Marentette is the co-host of the RUNegade Podcast - and he partnered with Jason to help him with a breakthrough.

For years, Todd has run almost the same time in the marathon: just over four hours. He's given Jason full control of his training and 10 months of runway to do the impossible: break his plateau, run a massive PR, and change how he thinks about training.

This episode originally aired on the RUNegade Podcast (Apple, Spotify). We discuss:

The importance of cycles and dividing time into distinct seasons Varying your training focus to achieve maximum progress Race-specific work vs. HR-based workouts How we plan to break Todd out of his stagnating marathon times The neuromuscular component of race pacing A lot more! Curious how fast you could race with Jason's help? Check out all his coaching & training programs here.

Todd will be publishing frequent updates about his progress on the RUNegade Podcast. Tune in to see how this works out!

Join me in Boulder, one of the top running destinations in the country, on September 27th, to experience the tight knit running community here, race on the epic streets of Boulder, and finish on historic Pearl Street. While I live in Denver, I travel to boulder probably once a week to run. It's arguably one of the best running locations in the United States.
