“I was holding on to a light pole, because with every movement I would cramp. Literally my ear was cramping.” - Duc Trần

This full video interview with running clips is on YouTube at https://youtu.be/f8hbzN6v_8I

Duc Trần (Strava) doesn’t seem to do things by halves. From entering his first triathlon and first marathon within an Ironman competition, to a full-on CrossFit background, he had made great gains indeed. However, through injury and feeling broken at the end of events, Duc researched and discovered MAF training and subsequently enrolled in the Marathon PR Program.

When the Boston Marathon 2020 was postponed, Duc decided to try to crack a sub 3 hour marathon by running a solo marathon. Floris joined him to document his journey.

In this conversation we take a deep dive into his marathon training and how he was finally able to run his first Sub 3 Hour marathon.

Hope you enjoy this conversation with Duc!
