#044: Pierce Showe - How to Run a Sub-3 Hour Marathon

Pierce Showe is a running coach and endurance athlete. He is the youngest man to complete the Triple Crown of 200-mile races--a running race series comprised of Tahoe 200, Bigfoot 200, and Moab 240. He is currently training to run a sub-3 hour marathon at the 2024 Jersey City Marathon.

In this episode, we turn the tables and Pierce asks me a bunch of questions about the sub-3 hour marathon formula.
