Tristan Woodfine just ran the Olympic Standard for the marathon at the London Marathon this past weekend in a time of 2:10:51. He has quite the marathon progression story- in April, 2018 he ran his second marathon in 2:18:55 at Ottawa Marathon which was a 9 minute PR from his first marathon. He then ran 2:15:19 in Houston January 2019 and a 2:13:16 at the Toronto Marathon in October 2019.
Tristan is a former triathlete who says he doesn’t miss the swim or the bike much at all. I loved hearing about all the changes Tristan made in his training to make sure he was squeezing every last bit out of himself to run the fastest possible marathon. In this episode, Tristan tells all about his progression in the marathon, how he improved his time so much, what his training for the 2:10 marathon looked like, and so much more!
Tristan lives in Opeongo Hills, Canada with his fiance and has his own coaching business as well.
