Two days before this conversation he ran 62:10 at the Valencia Half Marathon, and in this episode he announces his marathon debut.Jacob and Kristian are practically neighbors, and this is one of the first guests recorded in Kristian's own studio. They talk about Jacob's path from youth soccer to the steeplechase and a pro contract, how it feels to look back at breaking nine minutes for 3K when he now runs that pace for a whole hour, and how the mindset changes from the track to the road.They also get into marathon training, double threshold days, fueling, treadmill sessions, fatherhood and the running form that Kristian cannot stop studying.Before the interview, Kristian shares a training update, including a rest day to protect his groin, his first planned double threshold day, and signing up for Chicago.In this episode:- Jacob's 62:10 half marathon in Valencia and the road back from injury- From soccer player to national medalist and pro runner- Steeplechase, the World Championships in Eugene and signing with On- Sharing the track with the Ingebrigtsen brothers- Why the marathon went from "way too long" to his next goal- Marathon debut in Valencia and his target of sub 2:10- A normal training week with double threshold days- Running easy days slower, treadmill sessions and long runs- Fueling from scratch for the marathon- Balancing training with being a dad- Running technique and why Jacob thinks running more matters mostTimestamps00:00 Welcome and why this episode is special01:58 Kristian's training update04:37 Chicago sign-up and the Valencia shakeout05:39 Saysky Copenhagen06:38 Interview with Jacob Boutera begins07:39 The Valencia Half Marathon: 62:1009:04 From soccer player to runner14:11 Career so far: injury, steeplechase and signing with On16:28 Looking back at breaking nine minutes for 3K18:35 Competing in the era of the Ingebrigtsen brothers20:02 When track and field was not cool22:15 Mindset shift from the track to the roads25:30 Marathon debut announced: Valencia in six weeks27:33 How marathon training is different31:11 Long runs and durability35:01 Sharing training on Strava37:20 Being open about injuries and setbacks40:44 Training and fatherhood44:02 Treadmill sessions and double threshold days47:48 Fueling for the marathon53:40 Running technique59:47 A normal training week1:03:10 Running easy days slower1:05:17 Marathon goal for Valencia1:06:16 Wrap-upFollow Jacob on Instagram: @jacobbouteraStart your free Musicbed trial: https://fm.pxf.io/kristianwarwickFull episodes + the Boston 2025 documentary: https://www.youtube.com/@WarwickrunsFollow my training journey on Instagram: @warwick.runsMusic from Musicbed: MB01XPYH8ZYENVAMB0133EV2TCQFZY

In this conversation, Kristian talks to her about all three: why she wrote Can a Frog Jog and Maya Runs a Marathon, what it took to bet on herself, and how she approaches coaching real people with busy lives.They also get into consistency, what makes running sustainable over decades, the coach and runner relationship, and why not every marathon needs to be a PR. They finish with the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon, a hometown race that is close to her heart.Before the interview, Kristian shares an update on his own training: why he now looks at a rolling 7-day window instead of Monday to Sunday, his first workout on the Wahoo Kickr Run treadmill, a 28K treadmill long run, and honest doubts about his sub 2:30 goal in Valencia.In this episode:- Why Christi wrote running books for children- Can a Frog Jog and Maya Runs a Marathon- Leaving corporate America to coach full time- Running 46 marathons and keeping it sustainable- Coaching busy athletes without making running their whole life- Building confidence in a new career- Trust and communication between coach and runner- Why every marathon does not have to be a PR- The Indianapolis Monumental Marathon and the indie running communityTimestamps00:00 Welcome and what is coming in this episode00:59 Kristian's training update: Monday to Sunday vs a rolling 7 days03:05 First workout on the Wahoo Kickr Run treadmill05:27 A 28K treadmill long run06:51 Six weeks out from Valencia and the sub 2:30 goal10:03 Saysky Copenhagen11:12 Interview with Christi Dee begins11:39 Why she wrote children's books about running14:14 Maya Runs a Marathon15:19 From corporate America to a coaching business18:47 How kids and parents have reacted to the books22:19 Teaching kids about the marathon25:44 Running 46 marathons28:42 Running while working a corporate job, and why she made the switch34:13 Consistency and sustainable training37:51 Coaching busy athletes41:42 Confidence when starting something new44:28 Trust and communication between coach and runner48:56 Not every marathon is a PR50:10 Her first marathon, Chicago 200651:23 The Indianapolis Monumental Marathon56:22 Where to find the books and wrap-upFollow Christi on Instagram: @this_blonde_runsStart your free Musicbed trial: https://fm.pxf.io/kristianwarwickFull episodes + the Boston 2025 documentary: https://www.youtube.com/@WarwickrunsFollow my training journey on Instagram: @warwick.runsMusic from Musicbed: MB01XPYH8ZYENVAMB0133EV2TCQFZY

He explains how guests helped him get there, why mileage makes you faster, and how to tell when it is making you slower. Along the way he covers easy runs, running form, double days, cross training, strength work, fueling, women's health and why you should be careful about copying anyone else's training.In this episode:- Training for a sub 2:30 in Valencia: 150K weeks, fatigue and race day pace- Alana Levy: why running is not optional- Thomas Nobbs: running easy runs truly easy- Miles (Find Your Stride Coach) on running technique- Charlie Sweeney and Sofie Haugen: splitting the load into two runs a day- Felicia Pasadyn and the power of cross training- Strength training, and why most of us know we should do it- Jake (Run to Japan) on breaking a scary pace into seconds- Archie on low intensity training- Alfie Manthorpe and fueling before, during and after runs- Jimmy Whelan on altitude camps, McKenna Myler on the female body and Ingrid Kristiansen on Strava- Why you should take lessons from guests, not copy their training plansContent note: Kristian shares an update on a former guest who was seriously injured after being hit by a truck while crossing the road.Timestamps00:00 Welcome and why a solo episode on lessons from guests01:52 150K a week and why mileage works03:08 Saysky Copenhagen04:14 Fatigue, workouts and race day pace08:36 Rest days, niggles and swimming11:35 Trying the Wahoo Kickr Run treadmill12:28 Alana Levy: running is not optional14:50 Thomas Nobbs: easy runs18:16 Miles on running technique20:03 Charlie Sweeney and Sofie Haugen: two runs a day22:17 Felicia Pasadyn and cross training27:00 Strength training28:51 Jake on scary paces30:57 Archie on low intensity training33:11 Alfie Manthorpe and fueling36:33 Easing back in after injury37:55 Jimmy Whelan on altitude camps39:57 McKenna Myler and the female body42:03 Ingrid Kristiansen and Strava44:45 Take the lessons, not the plan46:24 Wrap-upStart your free Musicbed trial: https://fm.pxf.io/kristianwarwickFull episodes + the Boston 2025 documentary: https://www.youtube.com/@WarwickrunsFollow my training journey on Instagram: @warwick.runsMusic from Musicbed: MB01XPYH8ZYENVAMB0133EV2TCQFZY

Sofie Karoline Haugen skated for Norway at the 2022 Olympics, retired from speed skating in 2024, and has since run 10K in 31:57 and a 1:09 half marathon at the Copenhagen half, just a year after running 1:18 in the same city.Kristian and Sofie have known each other for around 17 years and both come from speed skating. In this conversation, Sofie looks back on her career: the years without progress, the decision to move to Stavanger and rebuild her training, the 2019 breakthrough that took her to ninth in the world, and the Olympic Games. She explains why she walked away when she was still skating well, and how a casual 3K on the track turned into a running career.Then the conversation turns to training. Sofie takes us through her week at 170 to 180 kilometers, including double threshold days, how she keeps her easy days easy, why consistency matters most, how she chooses shoes for different days as someone who works at the running store Löplabbet, and what she has learned about bicarbonate. She also reveals that her first marathon is coming up in November.In this episode:From speed skating to a 1:09 half marathonThe years of hard work before the breakthroughMoving to Stavanger and rebuilding her trainingQualifying for the OlympicsWhy she quit skating in 2024Her first races as a runnerRacing the Copenhagen halfShoes for different days, including the Alphafly 4A full week at 170 to 180 kilometersBuilding strength without getting injuredHer first marathonTimestamps00:00 Introducing Sofie01:17 Saysky01:51 Interview begins02:19 From skater to 1:09 half marathoner04:15 Sofie’s skating background05:56 Years of hard work, and the setback08:03 Moving to Stavanger13:17 Ninth in the world14:25 Qualifying for the Olympics16:43 Why she quit skating19:07 The moment she knew22:36 Starting to run23:16 A 9:29 3K25:02 Working at Löplabbet and her coach27:46 Racing in Copenhagen last year31:24 A 31:57 10K35:19 The Copenhagen Half Marathon37:15 Running 1:0940:30 Alphafly 4 vs Alphafly 343:43 Shoes for different days49:26 Injuries and building strength53:33 A week of training59:18 Why consistency matters1:09:46 Bicarbonate1:11:56 Her first marathon1:13:26 Wrap upSofie on Instagram: @sofiehaugenStart your free Musicbed trial: https://fm.pxf.io/kristianwarwickFull episodes + the Boston 2025 documentary: https://www.youtube.com/@WarwickrunsFollow my training journey on Instagram: @warwick.runsMusic from Musicbed: MB01XPYH8ZYENVAMB0133EV2TCQFZY

In this episode of The Marathon Podcast, Tim shares how a flyer for a running group, and a hug on his first morning there, changed the direction of his life.Kristian first came across Tim in an Athletic Brewing documentary about Ironman, and their conversation goes much deeper than the race. Tim talks about what early recovery really looks like, the role of community in staying sober, and how running became a healthy outlet. He also opens up about the lows that came with injuries and surgery, and why giving back has been the thing that keeps him grounded.You will also hear about his first marathon four months into sobriety, running with a pacer and thanking every volunteer on the course, his Ironman Lake Placid journey, and his role at Monumental, where he now helps others reach the start line of their first marathon.In this episode:Tim’s story, from addiction to recoveryEarly sobriety and what the first two years feel likeFinding Back on My Feet and a community that accepted himHow to acknowledge people experiencing homelessnessTrading one obsession for a healthier oneOvertraining, ankle surgery and a dark periodHis first marathon and why he thanks every volunteerIronman Lake PlacidGiving back through the Indianapolis Monumental MarathonTimestamps00:00 Introducing Tim01:18 Kristian’s quick update01:49 Saysky02:20 Interview begins02:31 The Athletic Brewing documentary04:06 Tim today05:21 Life before running07:07 Hitting bottom and getting sober08:52 Detox and the first weeks11:55 The first two years of recovery13:08 Identity in and out of addiction15:48 Back on My Feet18:18 The hug that changed everything20:23 How to show up for people experiencing homelessness24:09 Finding community25:16 Accountability and starting over30:13 Trading heroin for running32:03 Injury, surgery and a dark period33:22 Finding a new way to belong35:08 Tim’s first marathon41:55 Becoming the community guy43:37 Thanking the volunteers47:15 What goes into a major marathon48:16 Photography and the road to Ironman51:37 Anxiety and staying on course54:48 Why Tim never goes back56:54 Ironman training1:00:18 The documentary and the team1:04:17 Finishing Lake Placid1:07:46 Working for Monumental1:10:03 Wrap upTim on Instagram: @timmy_hotdog_howardStart your free Musicbed trial: https://fm.pxf.io/kristianwarwickFull episodes + the Boston 2025 documentary: https://www.youtube.com/@WarwickrunsFollow my training journey on Instagram: @warwick.runsMusic from Musicbed: MB01XPYH8ZYENVAMB0133EV2TCQFZY

In this episode of The Marathon Podcast, part of our series with Tracksmith’s Stamata team, Kristian talks with Alex Orr, a United Airlines pilot who flies the Boeing 777 and runs for Georgetown Running Club in Washington, D.C.Alex is a 2:42 marathoner (set in Berlin) and a 1:15 half marathoner, and she is chasing an Olympic Trials qualifier. She explains how she plans every week around her flight schedule, why she protects her hard workouts at home, how she handles jet lag and cancelled flights, and what a normal training week looks like when she is gone for days at a time. We also talk about cockpit naps, recovery on layovers, and how she tells the difference between a tough day and a day to back off.Alex shares the story of how she found her way back to running after stepping away from the sport, what she learned from two marathons that did not go to plan, and how being part of Stamata, led by Steph Bruce and supported by Tracksmith, has shaped her journey.In this episode:How a 777 pilot fits in a marathon buildPlanning workouts around flights, jet lag and delaysJoining Tracksmith’s Stamata teamStepping away from running and finding her way backFrom a 2:46 in Chicago to a 2:42 in BerlinLearning from Indianapolis and Eugene, two marathons that did not go to planA 1:15 half marathonA full training week, including VO2 sessions and long runsRecovery, sleep and naps in the cockpitHer next goal at CIMTimestamps00:00 Introducing Alex01:07 Kristian’s training update02:31 Welcome, and fitting running around flights07:13 Who Alex is and how she got into running08:05 Living the dream as a pilot and runner08:57 Joining Tracksmith’s Stamata team11:15 Flight schedules, bidding and training camps13:13 Getting time off for races14:52 Early years of running18:15 Her coaches19:49 Life after college20:23 Losing her father22:52 Coming back with GRC24:29 The breakthrough in Chicago and 2:42 in Berlin25:15 Grief and running27:39 What running means to her30:01 What drives her31:51 Chasing the OTQ32:42 Indianapolis and Eugene, and what went wrong37:47 The 1:15 half marathon39:11 Lessons from the marathon41:42 A typical training week46:39 Marathon pace work and long runs50:04 Recovery, sleep and cockpit naps52:08 International trips and training around them56:14 Recovery data on work days59:22 Running in layover cities1:03:41 Next up: CIM1:05:56 OutroAlex on Instagram: @alexrunstheskiesStart your free Musicbed trial: https://fm.pxf.io/kristianwarwickFull episodes + the Boston 2025 documentary: https://www.youtube.com/@WarwickrunsFollow my training journey on Instagram: @warwick.runsMusic from Musicbed: MB01XPYH8ZYENVAMB0133EV2TCQFZY

His path to 2:15 has been anything but linear: from the slow kid on the team in a small Texas town, to a marathon that fell apart in the second half, to missing the Olympic Trials standard by seconds, and finally to running 2:15 at the McCurdy Pro Marathon and qualifying.In this conversation, Michael breaks down what actually moved the needle: small, steady jumps instead of big leaps, a smarter approach to mileage, learning to run marathon pace without fear, and why time alone should never define you as a runner. He walks through his training week for the marathon, the block behind the 2:15, and the race itself. He also explains where the SupaDupa Slim name comes from.Before the interview, Kristian shares his own training update on the road to a sub-2:30 attempt in Valencia, including a 3:21 per kilometer opener in a session he did not expect to hold.In this episode:Where the name SupaDupa Slim comes fromFrom slow kid to 2:15 marathoner, 25 years of runningTwo first marathons and what they taught himOvertraining, injury and rebuilding with patienceWhy small jumps and consistency beat big leapsHow to chase a faster pace without freezing upA full marathon training week and the block behind the 2:15His mileage philosophy and advice for runnersThe McCurdy Pro Marathon, mile by mileNext up: the Houston Half Marathon and a Boston pro field hopeTimestamps00:00 Introducing Michael01:44 Kristian’s training update02:08 Saysky14:45 Interview begins14:52 The name SupaDupa Slim16:52 What running means to Michael20:03 Staying consistent for 25 years22:32 Growing up with running siblings26:40 His first marathons32:43 Learning what it takes39:01 Injury and rebuilding41:00 Time goals and the ceilings we create44:53 Learning to run faster paces48:17 Commitment and decision making51:07 Coach Jeff Cunningham53:32 A marathon block for 2:151:00:12 Recovery and fueling1:03:49 Small habits and mobility1:06:23 Mileage advice1:10:23 Doing less and feeling better1:13:24 A week of marathon training1:17:45 The McCurdy Pro Marathon1:23:06 Qualifying, emotions and the finish1:26:11 What’s next1:27:34 Wrap upMichael on Instagram: @supadupaslimStart your free Musicbed trial: https://fm.pxf.io/kristianwarwickFull episodes + the Boston 2025 documentary: https://www.youtube.com/@WarwickrunsFollow my training journey on Instagram: @warwick.runsMusic from Musicbed: MB01XPYH8ZYENVAMB0133EV2TCQFZY
