Fall marathon season is here and races are right around the corner. With that in mind, Stefanie Flippin is here to help discuss the ways in which runners inadvertently sabotage their marathon training in the final six week before their race. Running a marathon is a challenge under the best circumstances. Conversely, It can be brutal when things don't go well. In this episode we share some of the things we've seen with our runners, runners we know, and our own experiences. Sometimes the best advice is what not to do and this is exactly what we provide in this episode. Stefanie is a top ultra runner and a USATF 100 Mile Champion. She is also a running coach with Lift, Run, Perform. This episode is also running on Relay - a Patreon bundle that features some of the best running content on the internet.
