Ever wondered what it takes to transition from casual running to completing some of the most prestigious marathons in the world? Join us as we sit down with seasoned marathoner Beth Zerilli, who has turned her post-college hobby into an impressive running career. Beth shares her journey of running 20 marathons, including six Boston Marathons and two Chicagos, and how a serendipitous coaching opportunity led her to the Boston Marathon. Hear her inspiring recount of how personal events like the Boston Marathon bombings reignited her passion and the ambitious goal she has set to conquer the World Marathon Majors.
Beth and I dive deep into the world of endurance training, discussing unique events such as the "Superhero 17" and "Hop 21" that are crucial for Boston Marathon prep. We share our own experiences with overcoming injuries and adapting training strategies over the years. From transitioning from 10Ks to marathons to the role of half marathons in maintaining muscle memory, you'll gain valuable insights into the dedication required for long-distance running. Our candid conversation aims to equip all runners, whether seasoned or beginners, with practical advice and motivation.
Running a marathon isn't just about the physical training; it’s also about proper nutrition and fueling strategies. As we age, our bodies demand different fueling techniques. Beth and I discuss how our nutrition plans have evolved, transitioning from sugary gels to gentler options like honey stinger cookies. We even cover the logistical and emotional challenges of entering major marathons through lotteries or charity fundraising. Join us for an episode filled with inspiring stories, practical tips, and a shared passion for the marathon journey.
