Running The Amsterdam Marathon With My Sister
|
Hi Reader! This past Sunday, I ran the Amsterdam Marathon with my sister Janneke. Her first 26.2 miles / 42.2km ever. Running the streets of Amsterdam together was incredible. But like most first-time marathoners, she was pretty nervous about those final miles - the last 10km that she'd never covered in training. We hit the halfway point in 1:59:10. Then, at mile 20 (32km), everything changed. Here's what happened in those last 10k, plus our complete pacing and nutrition strategy: This was a very special race and I'm incredibly proud of how she handled it! Whether you're training for your first marathon or looking to improve your race-day strategy, you'll find practical insights in this video about pacing, staying patient through the tough miles, and knowing when to push. Cheers, P.S. Speaking of marathons and breakthroughs... I'm putting the final touches on something special I've been working on for close to 2 years. Keep an eye on your inbox on October 28th! |

Hi everyone, Jeff Pelletier's Badwater 135 film is live on YouTube. He put a ton of effort into this video and I'm very excited to share this. 135 miles through Death Valley. The hottest place on Earth, at the hottest time of year. I joined Jeff's crew, paced him through some of the hardest miles I've ever witnessed, and we documented the whole thing from start to finish. No aid stations. No drop bags. Just a small team keeping one runner moving forward through 120°F+ heat. [WATCH THE FULL...
