The 2024 Chicago Marathon is in the books! Johnny and Carolyn Coffin were both fortunate enough to take part in this year’s race and they are here to break it down in detail – perhaps too much detail! 🤪
Johnny ran out of his mind for a monster PB of 2:39:47. Carolyn was gunning to break her 2015 PB of 3:21:55 and if it weren’t for a particularly cruel 3-minute bathroom break she would have done it. She finished 2 minutes and 16 seconds shy of her goal in 3:24:11 so we’re calling this an unofficial PB with an asterisk. 💩
In this episode we delve into our training & preparation, fueling plans, and mental strategies when things got tough in the race, but we also air quite a bit of dirty laundry, both literally & figuratively! We hope you find this episode equal parts educational & entertaining, but without a doubt this is the most vulnerable piece of content we have ever produced! Resources we discussed in the episode:
