Ep. 14: Colin Mickow, San Antonio Marathon Champion

Debuting in the new 910 Geist Ekiden Elite X racing shoes, two-time Olympic Trials qualifier and Illinois local Colin Mickow won the new San Antonio Marathon in a blazing 2:22:25.

In this episode of Through Their Stride, Colin joins host Sam Sutton to break down his race-day execution, his unique, high-mileage training regimen, and the path that brought him back to elite competition after taking several years away from running following his collegiate career at the University of Illinois.

From rediscovering his love for the sport to building durability through consistent volume, Colin shares what has played a major role in his marathon success. He also reflects on navigating the early miles of a brand-new course and deciding early on that this was going to be a race, not just a training run.
