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. https://www.instagram.com/endurance_stateofmind?igsh=cjBnanNobHhhYXNu
