How to Run a Sub-3 Hour Marathon as an Ultrarunner with Pierce Showe

Is it possible to train for ultras AND get a Boston Qualifying time in the marathon? It sure is!Pierce Showe is a living example of that. Just months after completing the Triple Crown of 200’s (which is three 200+ mile races in three months), he put up a 2:52 marathon after switching his training to more of a marathon focus in such a short time. So, in this episode, Pierce shares a deep look into his training for the sub-3 marathon attempt, what workouts he used to be successful, and lessons from ultras that helped him to accomplish his BQ. He also shares how to pace a BQ marathon attempt and things to optimize like nutrition, hydration, and shoe choice, to maximize your chances of getting a BQ. Pierce is an ultrarunner and endurance athlete who has completed the Triple Crown of 200’s, a Boston Qualifying Marathon time, multiple 100 mile races, and triathlons.
