Long Slow Distance Introduction
Long Slow Distance is a new seasonal Marni on the Move podcast series purely focused on endurance sports. On each episode, I will speak with athletes, coaches, and industry experts offering a deep dive into training and racing, with insight and advice, compelling stories, event preps and debriefs and of course the mind altering concept of Long Slow Distance. The series is inspired by my training for the 2019 TCS NYC Marathon, born from a decade of training for running and triathlon events, paralleled with my love/hate relationship with doing long slow distance and the desire to be fast. I will be conversing with runners, triathletes, swimmers, cyclists, climbers, nutritionists, physical therapists and more. If you listen to Marni on the Move on the regular, you know I often get into to the weeds with Marni on the Move endurance athlete guests about their training and racing. Now I am hosting this dedicated seasonal series on all things, endurance sports. We have an exciting line up of guests for season one:
- Matthew Futterman, The New York Times Deputy Sports Editor, 24x Marathoner, and author of Running to the Edge.
- Andrew Kalley, one of NYC’s top triathlon, running, strength and conditioning coaches and award winning, podium placing triathlete and runner
- Susannah Scaroni, 2x US Paralympian, American Marathon World Record holder 1:30:41, Team Tokyo 2020, and competitor in TCS NYC Marathon 2019
- Tyler McCandless, a top American distance runner, Machine Learning Scientist and Ph.D. in Meteorology, competitor in the TCS NYC Marathon 2019, and Kauai Marathon Ambassador.

Long Slow Distance is fueled by a few of my favorite brands, the ones I use every day for training, racing and life including Mad Ritual, On, Roka, Nunn Hydration, SaltStick, and Navitas Organics.
