How Marathon Training Has Put Kyle Larson On Brink Of Third NASCAR Title

Kyle Larson is juggling marathon training with a title run — logging 40+ miles a week and planning a 15-mile run along the Florida coast before Friday practice as he chases a likely third NASCAR Cup title.
After the season he’ll run the California International Marathon near his hometown of Elk Grove (and hopes to break 3:30), plus he’ll still race midget cars over Thanksgiving.
Larson says the running — solo, with headphones — helps him mentally by taking pressure off racing and keeping his fitness and focus sharp.
