Dr. Matt Silvers is an Assistant Professor at Whitworth University in the Department of Health Sciences. He’s also an Ironman finisher and marathon coach.  In fact, he’s training my wife for the New York City marathon on November 4th.   I recently sat down with Dr.  Silvers to do a 4-part interview discussing tips, strategies and tools runners can use to successfully complete a marathon.  In part one, we discuss using an interval timer plus hydration and nutrition alerts.
