Episode 110

Description
Michael Ryan didn't come to running through a 5K — he came through a half Ironman in Panama, a full in Arizona, and a 3:24 debut at Kiawa three weeks after finishing the iron distance. Now he's standing on the eve of his first Boston Marathon, fired up, a little uncertain, and ready to feel every mile of it. Chris and Michael chat about his sub-2:50 breakthrough at Pegasus, the coaching relationship with Fawn that changed his trajectory, and what it means to race the Super Bowl of marathoning for the first time. Recorded live at the Hilton Boston Park Plaza, the night before the gun goes off.
