CJ Albertson joins us a week before the 2022 Boston Marathon to discuss his training leading into the race and his racing strategy — TL;DR CJ is filthy fit at the moment. CJ addresses the haters questioning his decision to run a solo 2:10 marathon 3 weeks out from Boston at the Modesto Marathon. We also break down his training philosophy, the supplements he takes, his recovery routine, how he coaches himself, balancing training, teaching, and coaching as a new father, and we get your listener questions answered.
