When you decide to run a race that takes months to train for and hours and hours to finish, the least we could do is put together a few minutes worth of tips to make sure you make it all the way through.

So we’ve compiled a series of videos designed to take you from the start of your training right up to the 26.2 mile finish line.

Hosted by Chicago sports guru Mike Adamle, the series includes segments by experts who will help you address just about every issue you’ll face running in a full Marathon. And we’ll be streaming these videos every week or so right on this page for the months it takes to get you in the best possible mental and physical shape for the big race date.
