If you can't hit certain splits, distances, or times once in a while don't be too down on yourself. The plan itself is solid but training is organic. What advice would you give to other members of the Runcoach community? Stick to the plan, but don't be religious about it.
What is the most rewarding part of training? The satisfaction of getting the work done day in and day out. Other things (like my social life), I push back till my racing has calmed down. When the volume gets very high I focus on the big things that always need to be taken care of (such as work and family). What is the biggest obstacle to reaching your goals and how do you get over it? Trying to prioritize what in my life is important that can be delayed till the training program is over. That means running, strength, good nutrition, hydration, sleep, and trying to keep your life as stress free as possible. What is the secret to your success? To treat training like it is a 24/7 job. Major milestone: I finished my first marathon in 2:53 at the 2016 Chicago Marathon. And he's set his sights on a sub-2:50 finish.
Now, he's using Runcoach to train for California International Marathon and the Boston Marathon. Mike Portman ran a blazing 2:53 in his first marathon this year.
