What actually happens is a start-line scare over recording gear, a rough patch at 5K, and a DNF at 6K after throwing up twice on the course.\nIn this episode, Alex gives Alexis (and you) the full, unfiltered \"word vomit\" recap recorded just 24 hours after the race: the good, the bad, and the humbling. Along the way there's a chance airport run-in with Canadian Olympian Cam Levins that completely resets Alex's perspective on what it actually takes to be mentally tough at the top of the sport.\nJoin Marathon Handbook’s RunClub for access to our members-only podcast, training plans, community rooms, merch and more: https://marathonhandbook.com/runclub\nSubscribe to our newsletter:\nhttps://marathonhandbook.com/newsletter/","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/i-t8eMlRkUTuGOv0o_YID9d-8Z-eF6kmJPKg6NN3qws/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8wMzRk/ZDljZmJiNDZmODg5/MDFkYWNkMjY4MjA2/ZjI5MC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
