After four failed attempts at breaking 2 hours and 30 minutes in the marathon, I’m doing things differently this time.
In this video, I break down the three biggest changes I’m making in my marathon training plan to finally go sub-2:30.

Whether you’re chasing a marathon PR or trying to avoid injuries and overtraining, this episode gives you a real look at how I’m approaching this build differently — smarter, more structured, and more sustainable.

📌 In this video:
– Why I’m ditching “hero workouts”
– How I’m prioritizing injury prevention and recovery
– What it’s like working with a running coach
– My mindset shift heading into marathon attempt #5

This is part of my Sub-2:30 Marathon Series — I’m documenting every step of my journey to finally crack 2:30 and become the fastest version of myself.
