Can I Break 3 Hours? | 12 Weeks to Valencia Ep. 1

My cookbook: https://www.justinechapman.com/plnt-a... My training app: https://www.justinechapman.com/ascend 12 weeks out from the Valencia Marathon, and my goal is to smash through the 3-hour barrier. I ran 3:03 at the Calgary Marathon in May, and now I’m going into my third marathon build with more mileage, more experience, and a much bigger goal. In Episode 1, I’m taking you through the first week of my Valencia build, including a 6 x 1K workout, strength training, a 124 km week, and a 34 km long run with marathon-pace work on tired legs. I’ve only been taking running seriously for about a year, so this series is going to be a very real and raw look at what I’m learning, what works, what doesn’t, and whether I can actually turn a 3:03 into a sub-3 marathon. 11 weeks to go.
