    In this episode of the Marathon Running Podcast, we sit down with veteran endurance specialist Coach Todd to tackle the "cram session" of marathon preparation. We ask the hard questions: When is it officially too late to start training? How do you pivot when a Wisconsin winter or a lingering injury sidelines your progress? We tease the specific "red flags" that mean you should pull the plug and the "predictor workouts" that prove whether your sub-4:00 goal is a reality or a risk.

    Why You Should Listen: Learn how to pivot your strategy when you're undertrained and how to avoid the mismanagement of common running injuries.
