Скачать или смотреть I Copied 36 of Clayton Young’s Workouts… and Ran 2:XX at CIM

This episode wraps up my Copying Clayton experiment, a full training block where I followed 36 of Clayton Young’s workouts leading into the 2025 California International Marathon.

In this video I take you through the final week of training, traveling to Sacramento, my full carb-loading strategy, and race day footage from CIM. Then I break down what worked, what didn’t, and what I’d change next time.

I’ve learned a ton from copying Clayton’s training, from the big threshold sessions to long-run structure, to how an Olympian thinks about consistency. This was one of the most fun (and hardest) blocks I’ve ever done.

Watch to see how the race went… and what “2:XX” actually meant for me.

Big shoutout to ‪@atylerwolfe‬ for coming through with CIM footage again! Go check out his channel.

And big thanks to ‪@_Clayton_Young_‬ for being public with his workouts so people like me can do such a dumb experiment!
