From Bodybuilder to Boston Qualifier: Can John Goldman Accomplish the Unreasonable?

From Bodybuilder to Boston Qualifier: Can John Goldman Accomplish the Unreasonable?

John Goldman is a former bodybuilder and currently the CEO of Rebel Health Alliance. After running a 5:13 marathon last December, he's not attempting the unreasonable: to qualify for Boston in a year.

He enlisted the coaching of physiologist and ultra-endurance coach Alan Couzens to guide his training.

This episode is a case study on how to accomplish unreasonable goals. How do you progress your fitness so you can run almost two hours faster in the marathon in only a year? What do you focus on? What is the correct order of what to focus on? How is his progress going after only two months?

Follow along with his progress on X!
