Send us a text

Aleksandar Matic shares his journey from beginner to sub-three-hour marathoner and reveals the secrets to building consistency in your running practice.

• Coach Aleksandar emphasizes breaking the "all or nothing" mindset new runners often bring to training
• Running success requires building block by block rather than immediate perfection
• Learning your relationship with running helps you discover what approach works best for your body
• Progress in running often transfers to other areas of life - clients frequently get promotions after completing races
• Consistency trumps perfection - keeping momentum with shorter workouts is better than skipping sessions entirely
• Exercise improves work productivity despite physical fatigue
• The key to marathon success is high weekly mileage to build endurance for the final miles
• Core strength becomes crucial when legs fatigue in late marathon stages
• Novablast shoes are versatile for multiple training types - save carbon-plated shoes for race day
• Don't fear starting slower than you think you should - no pace is too slow for beginners
