#19 – Scott Fauble – Inside A Marathon

Scott Fauble (Hoka NAZ Elite) is currently one of America’s fastest Marathoners, with a personal best of 2:09:09 set at the 2019 Boston Marathon where he placed 7th. Scott will line up at the USA Olympic Trials for the Marathon this coming weekend (Feb 29 2020) in hopes of finishing top 3 and securing a place on the USA Olympic Team this year. In 2019, Scott was ranked 2nd in the USA for the Marathon on time.

We were very fortunate to chat with Scott just a week before the Olympic Trials about his book – Inside A Marathon – where he and his coach at Hoka NAZ Elite, Ben Rosario document the entire four-month journey to Scott’s 7th place finish at the 2018 TCS New York City Marathon. Scott shares his daily training log and recaps each week from an athlete’s perspective–and includes plenty of humour along the way. Ben recaps each week from a coach’s perspective and gives readers a behind-the-scenes look at creating the training outline for a professional marathoner. In our opinion, it’s a must read for all competitive long-distance runners.

In this podcast episode Scott answers questions we have about the book – Inside A Marathon and he also talks a bit about his training leading into the Olympic Trials.

** We apologise about the patchy audio quality at times during this podcast episode. Unfortunately the internet connection during the call wasn’t as stable as we had hoped. **
