    For those who wanted to hear about it, we decided to tell you about our most recent sub-3-hour marathon attempt in this bonus episode. For our listeners we explain what plan we were using and the history we have with following the same plan in the past, but most of this episode is about the result of our marathons.

    The race we did was the Wineglass marathon in Corning, NY. In case you're interested in knowing more about the race, here is their website: https://www.wineglassmarathon.com/
