Rob talks Running
Welcome to the podcast. I’m Rob Watson, an ex-pro marathoner with a 2:13:29 personal best (pre-super shoes), 11th place finisher at the 2013 Boston Marathon, and 20th at the World Championships in Moscow that same year. Nowadays, I’m a coach with Mile2Marathon and generally just a big running nerd.
On this show, we dive into all things running, with the occasional detour into cycling and triathlons. It’s a lighthearted, fun take on the sport we love, so sit back, relax, and let’s talk running.

18. Chasing Sub-3 with Matt James – Cookie Connoisseur and Marathoner Extraordinaire
This week, I’m joined by my friend Matt James, a guy with a lot on his plate! (pun intended) We dive into his journey from collegiate football to his ongoing quest to break the 3:00 mark at the New York City Marathon. Along the way, we chat about his love for cookies, the rookie mistakes he’s made as a marathoner, and how his passion for the sport has grown not only through his successes but through his setbacks as well. I really enjoyed this chat and I hope you do to.
Oh, and after my chat with Matt stick around for training talks w/ Shanimal.
