Todd Marentette is the co-host of the RUNegade Podcast - and he partnered with Jason to help him with a breakthrough.

For years, Todd has run almost the same time in the marathon: just over four hours. He's given Jason full control of his training and 10 months of runway to do the impossible: break his plateau, run a massive PR, and change how he thinks about training.

This episode originally aired on the RUNegade Podcast (Apple, Spotify). We discuss:

The importance of cycles and dividing time into distinct seasons
Varying your training focus to achieve maximum progress
Race-specific work vs. HR-based workouts
How we plan to break Todd out of his stagnating marathon times
The neuromuscular component of race pacing
A lot more!

Curious how fast you could race with Jason's help? Check out all his coaching & training programs here.

Todd will be publishing frequent updates about his progress on the RUNegade Podcast. Tune in to see how this works out!

Thanks Boulderthon!

Boulderthon is a top 10 race in America according to USA Today and one of the best fall marathons according to Runner's World. With a 5k, 10k, half marathon, and marathon, Boulderthon offers an amazing fall destination race weekend right at the foothills of the Rockies. Use code STRENGTH20 for $20 off the marathon or half marathon.

Join me in Boulder, one of the top running destinations in the country, on September 27th, to experience the tight knit running community here, race on the epic streets of Boulder, and finish on historic Pearl Street. While I live in Denver, I travel to boulder probably once a week to run. It's arguably one of the best running locations in the United States.

There'll probably be cool and crisp fall weather for racing fast, too. And don't worry, Boulderthon is a BQ-eligible, USA Track & Field Sanctioned Event.

"My ankle and knee pain was completely gone in a week. Amazing!" - Kim

"I thought I was on the verge of having to give up running due to severe hip pain and luckily discovered Previnex - complete game changer for me!" - Anna

"I am so grateful for Joint Health Plus! As a certified fitness professional and still an extremely active, competitive amateur athlete, I was getting discouraged with an increase in pain simply kneeling down, or bending down to the floor and getting back up while assisting clients, or in my own training! Once deciding to give this product a try, I was floored when I finally noticed I was not bracing in anticipation of pain when I had to kneel down; not whincing in discomfort upon standing! Thank you, Prevenix!" - Jessica

Joint Health Plus is so powerful because the main active ingredient is clinically proven to reduce joint pain, reduce joint stiffness, and improve joint flexibility in just 7-10 days. It's also clinically proven, not just tested, but actually proven in double-blinded, placebo- controlled studies to protect joint cartilage from breaking down during exercise.
