In this episode, Matt Chittim welcomes back James McKirdy to discuss the upcoming Breaking 4 marathon.
They delve into the significance of the race, which aims to celebrate athletes who break the four-hour barrier, and the personalized support and pacing strategies that will be provided. The conversation also covers the course details, inclusivity for all runners, and future plans for more events.
Breaking 4 is set to offer total "in-race support."
Runners will have access to your personal bottles every lap, a tangent line because at 4-hour pace every extra 1/4 mile adds 2+ minutes to a finish time, and a shared $10,000 prize purse for all of the athletes who break the 4 hour barrier equally.
The event as welcoming as possible and will be offering pace groups in specific times: 3:40, 3:50, 4:00, 4:10.
To make sure the race goes smoothly they will host zoom calls throughout the training segment so that any participating athlete can gain the knowledge they need from the industry's top minds in nutrition and hydration needs.
