Eric Floberg’s Marathon Mistakes

By February 26, 2025June 20th, 2025No Comments

“No matter what your head is telling you, just keep showing up and doing the work. That process is what has allowed me to PR in every single marathon I run.” – Eric Floberg

I’m excited to share a powerful 7-minute segment from my recent conversation with Eric Floberg, who transformed from a 3:59 marathoner to an elite 2:33 performer. In this conversation, Eric reveals the humbling lessons he learned about respecting the marathon distance, the fueling mistakes that held him back for years, and his approach to training intensity.

As a father of four, photographer, filmmaker, and running coach, Eric’s journey offers valuable lessons for runners at every level looking to improve.

Full video launches on Friday.

A few quotes from this video:

  • “I used to think I could just outwork the marathon. But it’s not about working harder—it’s about training smarter, fueling better, and respecting the process.”
  • “Easy runs need to feel easy. Your body doesn’t care about the number on your watch—it cares about how well you recover.”
  • “The marathon is so cruel and so wonderful at the same time. It’s just the perfect distance to put you on the edge of what’s possible.”
