How to Prep for a Marathon, How to Get Into London 2025, and What's Going on With parkrun?

Marathon Handbook Podcast

Editors Katelyn Tocci and Michael Doyle chat about what it's like to cover Boston, then turn around and go to London for the marathon six days later (00:20), former NHLer and giant man Zdeno Chara's insane back-to-back marathon performances (04:44). Then we dig into what the heck is going on with this Parkrun controversy (08:05), whether or not race results should be in the public domain (27:41), and who owns your NIL in a race? (33:27).
Then we discuss the crazy 2025 London Marathon Lottery, which nearly hit 1 million entrants (34:15), how to get into London if you don't get selected (39:00), and what the wild popularity of the Marathon Majors means for the running industry overall (45:05).
Finally, Katelyn takes us through her pre-marathon race week prep (53:12), which serves as a guide book for a marathoner!
