Matt Fox | Two Sub 2:20 Marathons Within a One Month Span

In this episode, I sit down with Matt Fox, founder of Sweat Elite, to dive into his recent training journey, including his impressive back-to-back sub-2:20 marathons in Chicago and Indianapolis. Matt opens up about the key factors behind his improvements, like finally having a stable home base in Chicago, dialing in on his diet, and committing to a dedicated speed block. We discuss Matt's changing perspective on the role of speed work in marathon training, the ongoing challenges of race-day cramping, the nuances of training at different intensities, and how small adjustments in lifestyle have had a big impact on his results. Tune in for an insightful conversation that reveals the mindset and strategies of a sub-elite runner continually pushing his limits, packed with practical takeaways for athletes of all levels.
