Dewberry Does It

Ashly Dewberry broke the 3 hour barrier with a 2:58 at the Memphis Marathon today. Ashly trained very hard this fall for Memphis...Not only did he qualify for Boston, he broke the prestigious 3-hour marathon mark.

Ashly did several things very wisely in training for this race. #1) He ended his tri season with a period of rest. After doing Ironman Louisville he made sure to recover before staring the marathon training. #2) Prioritization. He did not try to train like a triathlete, he focused on running. He structured his training to go after this specific goal and did not try to be a jack-of-all trades.
