Applying Agile Thinking: Run Measure Learn
summary
Applies build–measure–learn to marathon training with concrete practices: hires a coach who publishes a Google spreadsheet backlog of weekly workouts, logs runs with Garmin/Strava metrics plus a handwritten training diary, and treats local races (City2Surf, 14 km, 80,000 entrants) as tests. Uses a 80/20 training split (80% easy, 20% hard), builds long runs incrementally (examples: 34–36–38 km), admits a prior injury from blindly following an advanced plan and adapts requirements and timeline accordingly.
