I Missed Sub-4… So We’re Changing EVERYTHING for the Coast Guard Marathon

After running a 4:00:55 marathon, I knew something had to change.
This video breaks down the specific training tweaks we’re making in this marathon block as I prepare for the Coast Guard Marathon—with a clear goal of running sub-4 hours.

I’m 48 years old, balancing recovery, strength training, fueling, and smarter mileage—not just running more miles for the sake of it. In this video, I cover:

✔️ Adjustments to weekly mileage
✔️ Changes to long runs (and why I’m NOT doing 20 miles)
✔️ How I’m structuring tempo and race-pace work
✔️ Strength training tweaks for marathon performance
✔️ Recovery, fatigue management, and heart-rate control
✔️ Lessons learned from Space Coast & how they shape this block

This is real marathon training for real runners, especially women over 40 chasing big goals without burning out.

If you’re training for a marathon, rebuilding after a tough race, or trying to run faster without running yourself into the ground, this video is for you.
