From Dec 1, 2022 to Dec 1, 2024 I was coached for attempting a sub-3 hour marathon. My PR up to that point was 3:21:31. However, the best my coach could get out of me during this time was 3:12:09.
As the training was progressing, I was skeptical that he was pushing me as hard as he could. Many of the workouts, while challenging, were achievable.
I tried suggesting adjustments, such as V̇O₂ max workouts and running doubles, but they fell on deaf ears.
