Episode 32: Precision Meets Presence: Whit Kendall’s 2:37 Marathon Breakthrough

In this episode of Endurance State of Mind, we sit down with runner and data enthusiast Whit Kendall, whose methodical yet mindful approach to training led to a stunning 2:37 finish at the Chicago Marathon. Whit shares how he transformed from a former football player to a marathoner obsessed with progress — running music-free, driven by intuition and numbers in equal measure.

We unpack his marathon progression, the power of community training, recovery insights, his Yasso 800 philosophy, and why he believes anyone can take on 26.2 miles. Whit’s story is a reminder that running isn’t just physical — it’s deeply spiritual, built on discipline, balance, and presence.
