Per Phil and Jason's discussion about cycling for aerobic endurance (and Jason's recent Wahoo Kickr Core purchase): Am literally setting up my road bike on my own Wahoo Kickr Rollr as I listen to this. Guess I'm on the right track!
Coach Jason, with respect to the NYC Marathon & noting how you were "hoping to run a lot faster" for your caliber of runner times are generally 5 minutes slower than typical road marathons. Why? Multiple different types of running surfaces + far more turns than most marathons + the bridges (inclines) and where they're placed on the course, commencing with the deceptive start & incline. For me (a weekend warrior) NYC is 10 minutes slower. I also ran in 2008 and 7 other times. There is a premium on strength training if you're going to run NYC, not so much for fast tracks like Chicago & Berlin.

Yes! Great to hear. I'd be on it, too, if I didn't have to wait a month for a fancy adapter...
Worth the wait, Coach. Hang in there! And thanks for all the great content!@@JasonFitzgerald
I really like Phil, thanks for bringing him to my attention.
Great guy. Thank you.

Regardless, I should have still been faster! I never quite ran a great marathon...
