Dr. Duane Scotti is back on the show to discuss the importance of year-round consistent training for marathon success.

Many runners lose motivation after completing their goal race in the fall or struggle to get back on track over the holiday season or colder months. And while this is completely understandable, it sets you up to leave time on the table in your next goal race -- even if that race seems really far away. In this episode we talk about the importance of mindset, strength training, and following a properly structured run plan so that you’re not starting back at square one when you decide to officially begin your next training cycle.

Dr. Duane Scotti is a Connecticut-based running physical therapist, run coach, host of the Healthy Runner podcast, and founder of Spark Healthy Runner.
