Zach Case has always been speedy since his start in the sport, repping PRs of 1:57.58 in the 800m (T&F), 26:29 in the 8k (XC), and recently, 2:38:51 in the marathon. When I heard that he wanted to race at the Cleveland Marathon, I jumped at the opportunity to be his coach given it would be his very first marathon; also, I knew that he would most definitely be ripping a fast time. Sure enough, about 4 months later and he had run 2:38:51 for 3rd place.
In this episode, we reflect on his training leading into the Cleveland Marathon, his race-day experience, and our overall thoughts on how it all went. I also share my screen and go through the training plan I curated for him, explaining my thought process behind the design.
As always, go follow Zach on his social media:
