   The #1 Easy Pace Mistake That Wrecks Your Fall Marathon Training

   Welcome back to Run to the Top! After a year-long break, we're back with a new format, a new permanent co-host in Coach Sara, and a lineup of new segments designed to make this show more interactive and more useful for your training. Most runners start fall marathon training by adding miles. The intention is right, but the execution goes wrong immediately: their "easy" runs land in the gray zone, which means every mile costs more recovery than it should. A study of 119,000 marathon runners found that the fastest finishers weren't training harder. They were running easier, more often. Today's show covers: Why we've been away and what's new with the show What easy pace actually means, with real numbers and a 3-test diagnostic you can use today The science behind why slow running builds a bigger aerobic engine than moderate running 5 specific costs of running your easy days too fast, and how the damage compounds over a training cycle A coaching case study: fixing a masters runner whose easy pace was 30 seconds off marathon goal pace If you're kicking off a fall marathon cycle right now, this is the single most impactful adjustment you can make in week 1. Get this right and the next 16 weeks go better. Get it wrong and you'll spend the cycle fighting fatigue you created on day one.

(https://runnersconnect.net/training-plans/) This week's show brought to you by: Blueprint Longevity Mix Fighting the effects of aging is something I've become more and more passionate about as I push closer to 50. Whether it's improving recovery or maintaining energy levels so I can play with my kids, I am always on the lookout for ways to feel better. That's why I started taking Blueprint's Longevity Mix a few months ago. The founder is Bryan Johnson, the tech entrepreneur who is constantly experimenting on himself to fight the effects of aging. While some of the things he does may be a little crazy, I appreciate his science-first, research-backed approach. Most importantly, he's not just trusting the studies, but testing everything himself and tracking biomarkers, publishing the data publicly, and refining everything based on the results. It's specifically formulated with scientifically-backed ingredients shown to support energy, cognitive performance, mood, focus, sleep, cellular resilience, and healthy aging. Science-backed, precision-dosed, no BS.

MAS Edge Creatine Gummies If you've been on the fence about creatine, or you tried powder before and dealt with stomach issues, this is worth a look. Creatine is one of the most well-researched supplements out there. It improves muscle recovery, supports bone mineral density, and recent research shows real benefits for endurance athletes, not just sprinters and lifters. The challenge is getting enough through diet alone — you'd need to eat about 2 pounds of raw beef every day. MAS Edge created a creatine gummy with micronized creatine monohydrate, formulated for endurance athletes. No powder, no stomach issues, just 3 to 5 grams a day consistently.
