So I have been recapping My First Marathon Race Day the last few Momentum Mondays, but I loved this podcast from Nick Bare on How to Run Longer, Faster, Build Endurance while I’m still gathering my thoughts and reflecting on the marathon. This episode is a well thought out and wonderful peek into what marathon training looks like if you've had any curiosity. One of the parts I really enjoyed about this is how Nick describes the marathon as a test of endurance and efficiency. I've always been a huge fan of endurance and the marathon was definitely a mental test of endurance, but a major improvement I plan to make in my running is efficiency.
