Episode notes
Beachfront Run Clubs In Brazil
- Kirk got a video from his athlete Louisa training at a beachfront run club in Brazil with coaches, tents, gels and photographers.
- He was surprised and intrigued by the business model of daily run memberships and beachfront coaching.
Marathon Training Is Distinctly Different
- The marathon requires a different training style than shorter races because racing down in distance is hard to replicate practically or intensively.
- Training shifts from pure intensity to extended duration and durability while keeping core engine work similar.

- The marathon damages legs via repetitive impact more than it stresses aerobic capacity alone.
- Road-specific over-duration training builds resistance to impact so your legs hold up late in the race.
