Marathon Handbook Podcast

In this week's episode, Alex, Katelyn and Michael discuss why it is that the Boston Marathon decided to (literally) give the unicorn on their logo a face lift. Then, they unpack the brief history of the running influencer — how it all started, some of the influential figures in the space, the pro athlete as influencer, and where this all goes from here. Finally, they break down how to approach eating pre run or race, as well as some terrible mistakes each has made in the past with food before running.Podcast hosts: Alex Cyr, Katelyn Tocci, Michael DoyleAlso check out the video version of our pods on YouTube!
