As the summer winds down we begin the most important phase of the fall marathon training cycle. With that in mind, we bring you another episode of our new mini-series, "Road to Chicago" with Tim McKone. In this episode Tim and I talk about how well his recent speed sessions have have gone, making sure that we fit his long runs into his busy schedule (which is even more busy now with the NFL season about to kick-off), what marathon effort feels like in training and how to get there without staring at the watch, supershoes, and much more. _ _ _ This year Tim is committed to returning to the Chicago Marathon after a tough 2021 performance. We will follow along with his journey to the fateful day when Tim returns to the Windy City with hopes of running to the level of his fitness and talent.
