Ever trained harder than ever for a marathon — nailed every long run, crushed the speed work, felt stronger than ever — only to have race day fall apart?

That’s exactly what happened during my 5th marathon at the Steel Rail Marathon. I made one key mistake that completely sabotaged my race… and it had nothing to do with how fit I was.

In this episode, I’m sharing what went wrong, why it happened, and how you can avoid making the same costly error — especially if you’re chasing a PR, qualifying time, or just want to run strong and healthy to the finish.

👉 If you believe more is always better… think again.

🎯 Whether you’re training for your first marathon or your fifteenth, this lesson could save your race.

I breakdown all of this and more:

- What my marathon training looked like
- Where things started going wrong
- The mistake I didn’t realize I was making
- What I would do differently
- Your next step to train smarter for your marathon
