Berlin Marathon Recap: The Missed Target, The Secondary Win, and the Road in Between #194

  • Summary

  • In this episode, I give a no-holds-barred account of my fifth Berlin Marathon experience. I came into the race with a specific goal in mind—didn’t hit it—but I managed to hit a B goal instead, my ninth sub 3 marathon.


    This is an honest look at this marathon journey, from the pre-race preparation, to the challenges faced on the course, and the tough moments offline in the buildup. You’ll hear about the funny parts, the tough grind, and the lessons learned when things don’t go as planned.


    This episode is for everyone out there chasing a goal and just missed it, I didn’t hit mine, but there’s something to be gained from every setback.


    Expect swearing and brutal honesty throughout. If you’re easily offended this is not the episode for you.


    Shoutout to Phil for guiding me through this conversation as I look back, laugh, learn and vent about what went down.


    Also, stay tuned for future episodes where I’ll do a deep dive into my Berlin build-up, including that crazy 100-mile week and my PRs in the 5K and half marathon. And don’t miss our chat with NYC Marathon race director Ted Metellus, coming out this weekend.
