Episode 2 - Lisa’s NYC marathon training plan

Brian develops a sore foot, makes a mistake in training, but manages to finish the week in one piece by backing off the pace. Lisa's week was one of her best finishing up with a speedy two hour long run that felt better the longer she went. We talk about the elements of a successful marathon training plan and Lisa describes her training program leading into the 2018 NYC Marathon. Brian questions whether Lisa has built enough recovery and easy running into her strategy, and we debate the optimal length of a marathon pace simulation run.
