PODCAST

Rob talks Running

Welcome to the podcast. I’m Rob Watson, an ex-pro marathoner with a 2:13:29 personal best (pre-super shoes), 11th place finisher at the 2013 Boston Marathon, and 20th at the World Championships in Moscow that same year. Nowadays, I’m a coach with Mile2Marathon and generally just a big running nerd.On this show, we dive into all things running, with the occasional detour into cycling and triathlons. It’s a lighthearted, fun take on the sport we love, so sit back, relax, and let’s talk running.

This week Shan and Rob discuss the Victoria Marathon. It was a tough day as Shan went 3:58, her 2nd fastest time ever, but she shy of her ultimate goal of a sub 3:50. Shannon absolutely left it all out there and I could not be more proud of the effort she put forth on race day. They aren't all great, but it is through struggle where character is revealed - our girl never quit and can walk away proud with how she showed up. Tune in as we talk it all out. Thanks for all ...
