Chasing Philippides

In this episode of The fruit of passion, I talk to Mark Hamilton about marathon running. Mark is an amateur runner with very good times, but not good enough to make him competitive at the highest elite level.

We discussed differences in levels, what are good times in the top races, the mythical 2-hour milestone, how he got started in the distance, his personal best progression, the role of pacers in some races, and other topics around marathons.

You can follow Mark’s records and training progress on his Strava profile.
