In this episode of The Marathon Handbook Podcast (00:00), Michael, Alex, and Katelyn kick off Toronto Marathon week and preview their upcoming live show (04:20). They share plans for the New York City Marathon (07:00) and Michael’s big reveal that he’s running the Philadelphia Marathon (08:25). Then, they tackle two listener questions: how to handle being assigned to a slower corral at NYC (11:06) and how to base-build for a year toward a sub-3 marathon goal (31:32).

In the second half (45:45), Alex interviews TCS futurist Bill Quinn about the future of the marathon — including AI-driven race organization (1:01:49), morphing performance clothing (57:57), nanotech wearables (56:13), smart shoes, and augmented reality for spectators (1:18:48). The conversation explores how technology could make marathons more sustainable (1:29:43) and accessible while preserving the human essence of running (1:34:22).
