In this chapter, the speakers discuss their experience during the first part of the marathon. They talk about foot pain, tying shoes, and the emotional aspect of the race. One of them reflects on the training leading up to the marathon and the support from their parents and friends. They also mention the start of the race and how there weren't many fast runners.
Zach Pogrob and I ran our first marathon on December 2, 2023 (St. Jude's Memphis Marathon). This was a real conversation we'd have if the mics were off.
We spoke about the entire week we spent together, the run club, pre-race, during-race, and post-race.
We also were lucky to be randomly joined by Hunter Weiss (https://www.instagram.com/hunter_weiss), for about 1 hour of this podcast, who filled us in on marathon training tips, his preparation for his next race, and what it was like to track our performances in Memphis.
Zach's time: 3:16:30
My time: 3:39:22
We're excited to build on this in 2024 - starting with the Austin Marathon on February 18. We hope you'll join us there.
