THE SHAKEOUT
Charlie Sweeney just clocked a 2:11:28 PR at the 2026 Boston Marathon. Join him for an easy 5k shake out run at 6:30pm before the panel begins. Dinner and refreshments will be waiting upon your return. Not feeling a run? Come socialize and find your seat before the event kicks off.
THE CONVERSATION
Most nutrition advice for endurance athletes is built around race day. What fuels the training blocks nobody watches? What supports the body between the podium moments?
That's the conversation we're having.
ProBio and For the Long Run Podcast are bringing together four people who have earned the right to answer that question from different angles, with different scars.
THE PANEL
Jonathan Levitt - Host, For the Long Run Podcast. One of the most honest voices in endurance running. He asks the questions athletes actually want answered.
Hillary Allen - Trail Society Podcast. Trail ultra elite. She has come back from an injury that most people do not come back from. She knows what durability actually looks like.
Charlie Sweeney - Pro Marathoner. Road. Speed. The specific demands of racing at the highest level of the marathon. He has lived the training load most people only read about.
Dr. Marc Bubbs - Founder, ProBio. Performance nutritionist. Author. The scientist behind ProBlend. He has spent his career in elite sport locker rooms translating research into what athletes actually do every day.
