We Break It Down","html":"<iframe width=\"100%\" height=\"180\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" seamless src=\"https://share.transistor.fm/e/630585dd\"></iframe>","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":4188,"description":"Could you run a marathon with zero training? In this episode of The Marathon Handbook Podcast, Michael Doyle, Alex Cyr, and Katelyn Tocci tackle that exact question — and things get real.\nThis episode is sponsored by Hettas: performance running shoes for women. Check out Hettas at hettas.com\nWe kick off by discussing a recent viral TikTok by Logan Goodspeed, who attempted the San Diego Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon with just 24 hours’ notice — and no running background (01:05). We analyze his prep (or lack thereof), how he actually finished in under 6 hours, and what he surprisingly did right (21:00).\nBefore that, we each share the dumbest running decisions we’ve ever made (06:00), from delusional ultra attempts to summer marathons and poor race-day choices.\nWe debate whether walking a marathon still counts (33:30), explore the importance of intent versus finish time, and ask: what makes someone a “real” marathoner? (40:00)\nThe team also dives into key survival tips if you ever find yourself on the start line with little or no training: the best shoes to grab (24:00), fuel options (27:00), and what not to do — like taking Advil during the race (29:00). We also touch on serious health dangers like rhabdomyolysis (48:17), which can strike undertrained runners.\nTo wrap things up, we play a hilarious round of “Marathon MacGyver,” building the perfect last-minute marathon kit — including favorite shoes, weird motivational hacks, and fuel-of-choice picks (53:35).\nWhether you’re a seasoned marathoner, training-curious, or just fascinated by endurance extremes, this episode is a wild ride full of laughs, honest lessons, and surprisingly practical takeaways (01:09:41).\n🎧 Subscribe to the Marathon Handbook Podcast wherever you get your podcasts, or watch new episodes every Thursday on YouTube and Spotify.\n📲 Follow Marathon Handbook for more:\nInstagram: @marathonhandbook\nTikTok: @marathonhandbook\nWebsite: www.marathonhandbook.com\n#MarathonPodcast #RunningTips #ZeroToMarathon...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/a3NORpFIoIUQrTnE2xXScFo8HEhxH6G0foNOPSlAx7c/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9kMWVh/ZTE1YzI3MDk3ODJm/NDFmYmIzNWRkNGM0/NDc0Ny5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
