We are about 11-14 weeks out from some of the major marathons in the US.
Today, Coach is breaking down how to build a marathon training block for fall races like Chicago, New York, and Indianapolis. He covers periodization, weekly workouts, long runs, marathon-pace training, fueling, recovery, heat adjustments, and tapering.
Most importantly guys, he explains how to train consistently, build mileage safely, and avoid cramming missed workouts like some college student facing a Monday deadline.
