Description

A self-proclaimed "marathon junkie," Chuck Engle has certainly earned the title. He's completed more than 475 marathons in his lifetime, and he's also the world record holder with more than 150 of those being completed in 3 hours or less.Engle travels nearly every week of the year to at least one race, and he has not only completed, but actually has WON a marathon in each of the 50 states. While he knows his lifestyle is specific and not for everyone, Engle does have amazing insight into the world of marathoning and offers plenty of helpful tips throughout this podcast episode to first-time runners hoping to complete their first race.Engle also touches on his first-ever experience at Grandma's Marathon, which came in 2021 and was so incredible that he plans to be back in 2023 to try and break the 3-hour mark in Duluth (something he didn't accomplish the first time he ran there).This is Part 2 of our conversation with Engle, so if you haven't yet be sure to start with Part 1 uploaded just before Thanksgiving.
