The 1% Better Runner | DLake & Friends
Daren DLake
170 episodes
1 day ago

This is a podcast about how runners can live better lives through consistent self-improvement.


Unlike other running brands, The 1% Better Runner focuses on how small, daily habit improvements ripple into broader life success, helping runners perform better both on and off the road, track, or dirt.


I’m Daren DLake: Certified running and nutrition coach, Sub-3-hour marathoner and 10-hour Ironman finisher.


Since 1996, I’ve been helping other self-coached runners, researching, and experimenting on how to better myself 1% each day.


A few times a week, I’ll drop how I’m tweaking my training, sticking to habits when life’s messy, and cool stuff from coaches and health pros. It’s a no-BS cheat sheet for building better habits—not just for running, but for work, relationships, and personal growth too.


Join thousands of other committed runners listening to the most exciting run and endurance sports content on the internet and get more tactics and strategies in your inbox each week.


Bonus - Get my free 30-day base and habits training plan when you sign up for the free newsletter here.


PS - Podcasting is very "1-way," so let's fix that. Hit us up if you have any feedback, want to collaborate, or just wanna tell me about your training. On Instagram @dlakecreates or talk@dlakecreates.com

Can This Secret Workout Actually Predict Your Race Time?

Most marathoners show up on race day hoping for the best—but this workout reveals the truth about your fitness long before you toe the line.

What if you could predict your marathon outcome before race day without guesswork or hoping your long runs were enough? In this episode, I walk you through a powerful workout almost nobody is using—but should be. It’s a next-level tweak to a popular track session that not only tests your fitness but strengthens the exact muscles and mindset needed to stay strong in those brutal final miles. I’ll break down what it is, why it works, how to do it, and when to add it to your training block. Whether you're a new runner or a sub-3 marathoner, this session might just be the missing piece to smarter, more confident race prep.


Key Takeaways

  1. The Rosario 800s are a smart way to test your marathon fitness by combining fast and slower 800-meter intervals without rest, showing if your race goal is realistic.
  2. This workout helps build endurance and mental strength by keeping your heart rate steady just below your threshold, which is great for race day stamina.
  3. You can adjust Rosario 800s for different race distances and experience levels, making it a flexible tool that complements other workouts like tempo runs and long runs.
