098 | From 3:55 to Sub-3:20 in Six Months: Simple Training, Big Marathon Gains

May 19, 2026 · 55 min

Toronto runner Janson Bautista breaks down how he went from a 3:55 marathon debut to sub-3:20 in under a year while keeping training simple, relaxed, and consistent. From AI-generated training structure and skipped long runs to smarter fueling, negative splits, and a sub-40 10K just one week after his marathon, this conversation dives into what actually moved the needle. The crew also talks race-day mistakes, winter training, Toronto running culture, the Riot Relay, and why “don't fall off” matters more than perfection for long-term progress.
