Podcast #68 | Josh Berube, Boston Qualifier and Knighton Lion

Listen Here
Just getting to the starting line of a marathon is often the hardest part.
Josh Berube recently completed his first marathon, but his journey to the finish was anything but easy.
After a bad ankle-roll during peak training for the 2023 Eugene Marathon, Josh was forced to take a month off running and was faced with uncertainty about whether running 26.2 miles was even going to be possible.
Josh and I worked together to modify his training, keep him active and optimistic throughout the process and got him to the starting line with a solid plan, ready to execute on it.
Josh ran a phenomenal race, outdoing both of our expectations. He ran 2:59 with a big negative split and earned his Boston Qualifier in his first marathon.
On this week’s episode of The Knighton Runs Podcast, I talk with Josh Berube, Boston Qualifier and Knighton Lion about the triumphs and tribulations of training for and racing his first marathon.
