Last year Julianne Dickerson set a BIG GOAL to run her first Sub 3 Hour Marathon. Most athletes running Sub 3, will make it “just” under 3 hours in 2:59, or maybe a few minutes faster. At the recent CIM marathon, she skipped the entire 2:50’s and finished in an impressive 2:49!
In our conversation Julianne shares many great insights that you can apply directly to your own training, racing and life. We talk in detail about:
- running in Alaska
- how she sets and accomplishes big goals
- mindset strategies to overcome challenges
- heart rate training
- her MAF progress
- journaling details and much more
Julianna is part of the Marathon PR Program, a holistic approach to marathon training, running smarter, not harder. More info can be found at extramilest.com/marathon
