Episode #224: Building Toward a Breakthrough
Running Rogue - A podcast by Chris McClung
In this episode, I start with an intro discussing my perspective on the virtual race announced recently by the Boston Marathon, where all athletes are allowed to participate. Then, I turn to a discussion on tips and recommendations for building toward a breakthrough race. What will it take for you to get that PR, that milestone time, or that Boston qualifier? I have 7 ideas for you to ponder and incorporate into your own training, but spoiler alert, there are no hacks or shortcuts. Just hard work!
