About the Episode:
In this episode of the Spewak Training Podcast, host Mark Spewak continues the new “Steady State Running” segment with Spewak Training coach Danny Stults, including a slow handoff as Danny helps lead the series.
Danny shares how the 2013 Boston Marathon tragedy motivated him—once a self-proclaimed mid-distance runner—to commit to qualifying for Boston 2014, leading to a surprise qualifier at the Heart of America Marathon in Columbia, Missouri where he ran 2:42 and placed second.
The conversation then shifts to practical Boston-qualifying guidance: build volume over time beyond short “block” mindsets, let small good habits compound, focus on long-term progress, and avoid overdoing goal marathon pace too early. Mark and Danny also emphasize patience, process, and mindset over outcome-driven training.
