In this episode, Michael sits down with Olympian and author Pete Pfitzinger, co-author of Advanced Marathoning, to discuss the brand-new 4th Edition (00:00). Pete shares the philosophy behind his approach to marathon training (09:58), the most common mistakes runners make (35:12), and how today’s advances—from super shoes (33:13) to hydrogels and heart-rate variability (50:47)—are reshaping how we prepare for 26.2 miles. They dive deep into balancing training and life (23:26), fueling and recovery (19:04), and the mindset needed to keep improving (37:09).
A must-listen for serious runners and those new to the distance aiming to train smarter, race stronger, and enjoy the process.
