A 24-WEEK TRAINING PLANNER FOR THE 42.2KM TRAIL MARATHON DISTANCE
I used your marathon training planner and associated advice at last Sunday’s marathon with some surprising results. My previous marathon times were around 3hr30mins and have been there for many years. On Sunday I applied your suggestions such as pacing, posture, use of gels, on course hydration, using the crowd, relaxing, cadence, uphill/downhill technique and above all being in the moment with a positive mindset. I was staggered how comfortable and in control I was throughout the run…. well up to the 36km mark anyway. I held form well when going deep and was amazed to close the line in 2hr58min. Achieving a life long goal of running a marathon in under 3 hours! I thought it might take another year of focused training but managed to achieve it this year. I just wanted to thank you immensely as I was channelling a lot of your words and advice during the race and I believe it made all the difference.
The focus of this marathon trail running training planner is to help individuals to prepare with confidence for their chosen trail marathon – to experience the thrill of using your marathon goal to explore yourself, your backyard and your wildest potential. This trail running training planner can assist athletes of most abilities to be, play and perform wilder – taking a 6-month period to grow into your marathon endeavours.
However, I cannot emphasise strongly enough that this training plan is a guide. I hope that you see it as an opportunity to learn the skills of preparing for trail running goals whilst incorporating exercise into a lifestyle. Therefore, I believe it is absolutely essential for you to use this training planner in combination with the extensive knowledge located in my Trail Running Guidebook. This Trail Running Guidebook explains in detail the theories behind my training resources, and provides insights on a wide range of important topics such as recovery, common injuries, nutrition & hydration, and psychology. All of these topics will be imperative to understand prior to your marathon goal, whether this is a race or your own wild adventure.
This trail running training planner is a 24-week, highly detailed resource for the 42.2km trail distance, or an event of similar length or duration. It is suitable for individuals wishing to race, or simply to explore wilder with their trail running. It includes training diaries, suggested links to Find Your Feet Podcast episodes, detailed training sessions for every day of the planner, tips & tricks, and much more!
