Marathon training require a lot of hydration. I use water and sports drinks frequently during my runs, but have never really focussed on a recovery drink for afterward.

Dave Jones was the first Running Dad that I profiled back in February of 2013. At that time, Dave was training for his first marathon that he had signed up to run in April. I have known Dave since grade school – maybe earlier – and he has a knack for going “all-in” when he sets his mind on something. Turns out, marathon running is his new passion. Since that initial marathon in April, 2013, Dave has become a Marathon Maniac (literally). See Dave’s marathons below:

“One thing I’ve learned about coaches, from having a coach myself, is that he inspires me to get the job done. Simply having someone looking at my running log (and give me the workouts in the first place) is such a huge motivation to do your best for them. That is a great inspiration for those tough miles or intervals, doing my best for my coach. A cookie cutter online plan or even a book does not care if you skipped a run or missed your paces, and they’re not going to help you figure out how to proceed either.” — Kyle Kranz
