Rob talks Running

By: Rob Watson
  • Summary

  • Welcome to the podcast. I’m Rob Watson, an ex-pro marathoner with a 2:13:29 personal best (pre-super shoes), 11th place finisher at the 2013 Boston Marathon, and 20th at the World Championships in Moscow that same year. Nowadays, I’m a coach with Mile2Marathon and generally just a big running nerd.

    On this show, we dive into all things running, with the occasional detour into cycling and triathlons. It’s a lighthearted, fun take on the sport we love, so sit back, relax, and let’s talk running.

    This week, I’m joined by my friend Matt James, a guy with a lot on his plate! (pun intended) We dive into his journey from collegiate football to his ongoing quest to break the 3:00 mark at the New York City Marathon. Along the way, we chat about his love for cookies, the rookie mistakes he’s made as a marathoner, and how his passion for the sport has grown not only through his successes but through his setbacks as well.
