Hi guys, I’m excited to launch a new website project about marathon running and about becoming a faster, healthier and happier athlete. Many athletes want to run a Sub 3 Hour Marathon, Boston Qualifier or Marathon PR, but they do not know how to accomplish this.

I receive a lot of questions about this on my blog, YouTube videos, Strava and email:
- How do I become a faster runner?
- How to create more structure in your workouts and feel under control?
- How to avoid hitting the wall around mile 18 – 22 (29km to 35km)?
- What should you eat and drink during your training and on race day?
- How to prevent or deal with running injuries?
- How can I increase my energy levels and happiness levels?
You’ve come to the right place! I ran my first marathon in 4 hours 11 minutes and it was a miserable experience. 5 years later I ran the Boston Marathon in 2 hours 44 minutes, a PR by 87 minutes and it felt great!
Over the years I’ve done a lot of research, conducted countless self-experiments, and surrounded myself with some of the brightest minds in health, fitness and endurance sports. I’ve learned how to become a faster, healthier and happier athlete.

I’ve been following you for over a year, and I’m ready to go all in on your ideas and training program. I’ve been using another program for years, and I just ran my 14th marathon and missed my PR by 4 minutes on a tough course in Athens, Greece after a grueling 18 week training program.
Fantastic article and I would recommend this to be read by every runner who is serious about running a marathon. Plus, kudos to you for giving away such a valuable content for free. Its priceless. I have already shared this link with many people.
I had one question though. During the MAF aerobic base building, do you recommend any strength training at all? If yes, what would be right proportion?
