Can This Trail Runner Break 2:40 in a Road Marathon? | LA Marathon Experiment

I went into the 2026 Los Angeles Marathon with a simple goal: break 2:40. As someone who spends most of my time training for trail races and ultramarathons, this felt like an experiment. Could I translate my endurance from the trails to a faster road marathon? In this vlog, I take you behind the scenes of race week in Los Angeles - including time spent with the team at Precision Fuel & Hydration, who helped design a race-day fueling strategy to give me the best shot at hitting the goal. We cover: – Race week prep – Building a fueling strategy with Precision Fuel & Hydration – Race morning and the LA Marathon start line – How the race unfolded mile by mile – My final time and reflections With a summer of 100-mile races ahead, this was a fascinating test of speed, fueling, and race execution.
